Wait for water to re-boil, lower the heat so the water is slightly boiling and start timing. How long to boil lobster tails depends on how many oz you are cooking. For 1-3oz, boil 3-5min.

When you boil a lobster do you boil the water first then put the lobster in the pot or put the lobster in the pot while the water boils?
You can boil the lobster in 2 ways. 1. if you don't want it to turn out too soft you would boil the water first then put in the lobster. That allows the lobster to cook quicker and it turns out slightly crunchy. 2. If you want the lobster to turn out soft and tender you have to put the lobster ion with the water and boil both at the same time. That makes the lobster moist from the water and then it cooks well, however it takes a bit longer than the other way because there is the process of the water boiling and then the lobster has to have time to cook.

How do you cook a precooked whole lobster?
You should defrost it in a refrigerator, if possible. If you boil it when it's still frozen, you risk having a rubbery lobster. If you boil it, keep it in the shell and plunge into boiling water for just a couple of minutes. If you broil it, crack it after defrosting and remove the lobster meat. Broil it for just a couple of minutes to get color. Since it's already cooked, you just want to make it "fresh" by heating very quickly. Cooked lobster tail will curl and shrink if you re-heat it too long. You can also serve it cold after defrosting. With pre-cooked lobster, this would probably be your best bet.
