Need Lobster help...
« Reply #-1 on: September 08, 2013, 07:55:28 PM »
So tomorrow I have to cook lobster but I never have and have zero idea what to do or what I am doing lol...

I will be serving it with steak and I think my wife want corn on the cob. I will be doing the steak on the Rec Tec same with the corn I assume....



So what the heck do I do with the lobster? It was in the freezer from my wife bringing it back from halifax but its now in the fridge to thaw...

If they are already cooked then just grill the on high heat for a couple of minutes to get some color and brush with clarified butter.

I would just spread them open and grill. They are already cooked so you are just trying to get some color and wam them up a little bit so be quick!

Echo all that - if already cooked, any extra heat above warming means the danger of turning them into rubber.

Do they need to be cleaned inside or something? Do I use low heat to warm them up on the grill?

I would pull the tail off open it up and grill for a few mins. Save the claw meat to use in a seafood salad or something.
