should i bake my lobster tail in a moderate oven before broiling?

Question

rock lobster

Answer 1

depends on if fresh or frozen. If Frozen I would steam the tail until cooked, then I would butter and broil. If you bake first then broil ,,,,,the meat WILL dry out. Lightly steaming or simmering in water or wine, will moisten and cook the meat lightly, then broil for the final touches. If you bought raw and uncooked just follow the above with steam and then broil

If fresh boil the lobster...till red, then cut the tails and broil until golden.

Answer 2

Never over cook a lobster. Drop in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. If you then broil it you will have the dreaded rubber lobster. Serve with hot lime butter.

Answer 3

When I was 14 -15 years old I worked in the kitchen next to my house. They prepared lobster boiling in water with a little vinegar and celery seed. When nearly done I would split the shell, remove the tail, place it on top of the shell, brush it with butter, sprinkle on a little paprika and then broil it for about a minute. It out-sold any other entree on the menu. I don't know the reason for the vinegar and celery seed but whatever it was, it worked.

Answer 4

No. Broiling wll take care of it. Take it out of the shell (leave tail tip end attached) and lay on top of the shell to broil.

Answer 5

you can cook the lobster that way or you can steam it but only cook it ONCE - if you cook it too much it wouldn't taste good anymore

Answer 6

only if you like it dry, but i like mine moist and juicy.
Simply, place it in boiling water for 5mins before serving.
YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
