what is the best way to cook lobster?

Question

i want to have a lobster bake and heard you can do it by burrying lobsters in fire in your back yard with banana leaves. Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

If cooking lobster on a charcoal grill or barbecue, first kill the lobster by plunging a very sharp knife into the natural cross located at the back of the head. Then pull the knife sharply down the body to split it in half. Remove the dark-colored gut and gritty sack, which will be in 2 separate parts in the top section of the head.

Answer 2

2 small red potatoes
1 ear of corn, outer most husks shucked
small onions peeled and halved
1 pound chicken lobsters
1/4 pound clams
melted or drawn butter
(seaweed optional)




Individually wrap potatoes and onions in aluminum foil and place on top of the seaweed

Place corn on top of the potatoes and onions

Place lobsters on the potatoes and onions

Place the clams on top of the lobsters

Cover the whole bake with aluminum foil weighted down with bricks

Cook for 45 to 60 minutes, keeping the fire stoked. Test for doneness by cracking a lobster claw.

For the fire pit:

1. Bake plates made of aluminum to top the fire pit. I've heard of 50 gallon drums being flattened out and commercial aluminum pans being used. Some seasoned professionals actually have the plates fashioned at a machine shop.

2. Enough cinder blocks to support the bake plates two high along two sides of the fire pit.

3. Hardwood for fire. If you must use charcoal, just use it to start the fire and save the hardwood for actual cooking. Charcoal makes food taste like charcoal.

4. Lots of seawater soaked seaweed (rockweed is most often used).

5. A large roll of aluminum foil.


To build the fire:

1. Clear debris in the area of the pit size

2. Make two parallel lines with the cinderblocks two rows high

3. Start the fire

4. Put the bake plates on top of the cinderblocks

5. Place the seaweed on top of the bakeplates

Answer 3

You need to dig a hole first, then fill it with hot coals. Throw a bit of sand on top of the coals. Wrap the lobsters in banana or palm leaves. Put them in the hole and cover the entire thing with more sand. Could take an hour or so depending on the heat of our coals. All in all a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Answer 4

Boil it total in gently salted and buttered water. A 2 pound lobster could take approximately 15 - 17 minutes after the water is already boiling. do purely no longer below prepare dinner it or you will get a foul ask your self. you are able to no longer particularly season it till after its cooked so easily you are able to purely dip in in butter or another sea food dip.
