(*-*)How do you cook lobster ?
Lobster 脿 l'Am茅ricaine


Yield: 4 servings


2 lobsters, 1 pound 12 ounces each


4 ounces butter, divided


3 tablespoons flour


2 shallots, peeled and minced


1 clove garlic, peeled and minced


陆 cup brandy


1 cup white wine


1 cup fish stock or clam juice


2 tomatoes, seeded and diced


salt and pepper





Prepare the lobster for saut茅ing. Heat 2 ounces of butter over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet. When the butter bubbles add the lobster. Saut茅 it for a minute or two. Add the flour, shallot, and garlic; saut茅 for another minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the brandy. Return the pan to the stove and flamb茅; cook it until the flame burns out. Add the wine and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the fish stock and tomatoes. Cook it until it reduces by half and thickens slightly. Arrange the lobster on a warmed platter while keeping the sauce simmering. Season the sauce with a little salt and pepper, and then swirl in the remaining two ounces of butter. Pour a portion of the sauce over the lobster. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
you boil em
Throw it in the bin and get some monkfish instead pmsl





Only joking bring a pot of water to the boil and drop the lobster head first (to kill it quicker) into the pot cook until lobster turns a bright red orange (usually about 20-25 mins) Nb lobsters dont scream when you boil them the whistling sound is the shell contracting as it cooks bye
i saw a chef, gettin a pan of really hot water and just throwing it in, clean it first then put it in the to eat it i thought u cracked it open pulled the claws of and just eat it i hate it no, eww


good luck
you might want to cook the lobster a little more humanely than boiling him alive as they are known to scream. Take a pointed knife and with force right in the middle of the head above the eyes push down and through the shell etc, then straight into boiling water, the timing depends on the size, it can be anywhere from 10mins plus.
































;
boil it or steam it for about 20 minutes
Boil them and for eating them get some shell crackers you want to pull apart (w/ ur hands) around the joints then try to pull the meat out as one strip. if you cant then crack the shell all the way down and pick up the meat. Melt butter to dip the lobster in!


p.s. be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges!!!!
be carefull not to over cook it. in a big pot, place about 2 inches(5 centimeters) of water. and place the lobtser in head first. you cook it ten minutes per pound... :) good luck :)

Bring a big pot of salted water to high boil, drop them in for 6 minutes.





FYI, it will turn the pot black....afterwards boil a pot of water with Cream of Tartar and pot will come back to normal
Boil, broil, grill or steam are the most commonly used methods.
