Answer 2

Cooking Frozen Lobster Tails

For Frozen Lobster Tails.
Let the frozen lobster tails thaw out in the refrigerator 24 hour before cooking. Cooking unthawed tails will result in the meat being tough.

A faster thaw can be achieved by placing them in a plastic bag and immersing them in water while in the refrigerator for a few hours.

Easy Way To Cook Lobster Tails

The best cooking way is to steam cook them. Steaming them will curl the tails so before steaming, run a wooden skewer through them to prevent that from happening. Use 1 quart or 4-5 cups of water and bring water to a full boil. Place up to 4 average
size tails in top steam colander and cover the pot.

Lobster will turn red and the flesh becomes white. Allow to steam 1 and 1/2 minutes per ounce . Once cooked, take the steam colander to the sink and run cold water over them which stop the cooking process and allow you to rinse-wash the tails.

If just broiling lobster without any boiling, allow 5 to 6 minutes per pound.

Another simple way to cook the lobster tail is to split the shell down the top, pull the meat most of the way out of the shell and let it lay it on top of the shell. Place it in a pan with a little water and cover the pan. Cook on a medium high heat until the meat turns white, then baste with butter and season with salt and pepper. Again, as with any food, avoid the temptation to overcook it. Long cooking toughens the lobster so cook only until the meat is thoroughly heated.


Cooking a Live Whole Lobster and How to Crack it.

Live lobsters should be cooked live and placed in boiling water head down the same day they are purchased.
Fill a very large stockpot or lobster pot half way with water. Add a generous amount of salt. Bring water to rapid boil. Add lobsters one at a time, head first. Return water to a boil. Cover and boil for 12-14 minutes until lobsters are a bright red and the long antennae can be pulled loose with ease. Remove lobsters with tongs and place in a colander to drain.

Serves 3.

Answer 4

Steamed, otherwise they get too dry. There is an awsome receipe at the link below, if you dont want to stuff the lobster, keep cooking it for about 10 min, rather than taking it out of the pot after a few.

Answer 5

Make sure the water in the pot is already boiling. Use a sharp knife to cut a straight line from top to bottom on the upper shell and throw it in the boiling water. when the meat popps out of your knife cut and white, kind of popcorn looking,(giggle). Its done. Barbecue is about the same over coals. Make melted butter with garlic to dip it in. Enjoy, and good luck.
