Cooking The Lobster:
-
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Make sure you will be able to fit the lobsters to be completely covered with water. Season with about 2 tbsp of coarse salt and 1 tbsp of whole peppercorns. Lower the heat to medium so the water doesn’t over-boil all over the stove.
-
Submerge lobster into the water and close the lid. (Leave a crack to let steam escape.) Let lobster cook for about 16 minutes, until it’s bright red.
-
Take lobster out using metal tongues that are preferable coated with silicone. Cooked lobster is slippery.

Making Lobster Rolls
-
Chop lobster meat into small pieces and place it into a mixing bowl.
-
Squeeze in lemon juice, add mayonnaise, diced celery, diced chives and parsley, and a little salt and pepper. Mix everything together and set aside.
-
Preheat the oven broiler on low and brush hot dog buns with melted butter. Pull them apart very gently and brush some butter on the inside as well.
-
Place buttered buns on a baking sheet and let them brown under the broiler. Don’t place it too close to the broiler so the buns don’t burn.
-
Divide lobster salad evenly among the warm rolls.
