Lobster tales

Product Information

Remove the stomach sack and soft brown meat if you like, then crack the claws with the back of a knife so the heat can penetrate to the meat inside. If you’re willing to do the deed, pick one that smells sea-fresh and curls its tail back under its body when stretched. Stroke the lobster along the back then plunge a large, sharp knife through the back of the lobster’s head in one swift movement. Take a sharp pair of kitchen shears and cut straight down the middle of the shell all the way to the fin.

Using a pair of good quality kitchen scissors, cut the top of the lobster tail from the head end to the tail end — be careful not to cut into the tender meat underneath the shell.

Prepare your lobster for grilling by slicing it on a sturdy board, cutting it in half lengthways and opening it up. How Long to Boil Lobster Tails: Simmer lobster tails, uncovered, for 8 to 12 minutes or until shells turn bright red and the meat is tender when poked with a fork. Today, let’s focus on 6 classic cooking methods for lobster tails: boiling,broiling, baking, steaming, pan-searing and grilling.

However we also can never say no to a well-made lobster roll or the less commonly made, though equally delicious, lobster salad. If you're feeling adventurous, try using lobster in a mousse or risotto, or cook the classic Lobster thermidor – grilled lobster halves served with a mustard cheese sauce. Ravioli or tortellini stuffed with lobster mousse like Kevin Mangeolles' Lobster tortellini, roast chicken wings and sweetcorn purée or tagliatelle smothered in a lobster cream is delicious. Twist off the legs, flatten them with the back of a knife then get to work on digging out the flesh using a pick or the end of a teaspoon.To kill a live lobster, either place it in the freezer for a few minutes to dull its senses then steam, or pierce it just behind the head with a sharp, heavy knife or skewer. John Torode uses a mixture of big meaty prawns and smaller sweet ones for texture and flavour, with added lobster for a special starter. Broiling lobster tails takes approximately 5-8 minutes as well, with the tails placed about 6 inches away from the heat source. Understanding the anatomy of the lobster tail is important when it comes to cooking, as different parts of the tail can cook at different rates. To grill a lobster tail, just cut a slice in the shell using kitchen scissors as previously described.

Steaming uses a gentler heat and cooking method, resulting in much more tender lobster tail meat while still cooking the tail to the desired consistency. For a more adventurous flavour, you can try topping the lobster tails with bacon bits, diced tomatoes, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Remove the lobster tails from the bbq and serve immediately with some veggie rice or sauteed broccolini.

We will guide you through each step of the process, from choosing and prepping the lobster tails, to cooking and serving them in a way that will impress your family or guests and make you a master of lobster tail preparation.

One cut did eviscerate the mea culpa moment in Jake Brewer's view of what to do with the miracle moss: the deletion of the last exchange in Jake's talk with his best friend Mike after Mike says "Ya know, Jake, one day you'll lose someone you care about, and then you'll feel differently" [a reference to Mike's father who died 5 months before].Steaming is a quick and easy way to prepare lobster tails and is a perfect option for a healthy and flavorful meal, especially when you then add some mac and cheese to the mix.
