Pan, nice and hot.

Boil or steam
Remove meat from shell and drizzle in butter

>>14227837
Butter.
In.

>>14227843
Garlic butter is better.

>>14227905
That's still butter.

Like the other anons said, you can basically either boil/steam them or fry/grill them. The first method will result in sweeter, more tender lobster and the second method will result in more savory and textured lobster.

Always good with butter.

>>14227914
Not OP, but he may need help on the timings. I've also never made these but my sense is frying them would be the more tricky of the two methods but I'm not sure.

Salt pepper paprika. Split em. Broiler. Dip drawn butter

When I tried these at the restaraunt I cooked at they tasted like poison to me

>>14227905
This plus lemon butter. Do both and then dip back and forth. A serve of rice on the side or some fries is great, too.

>>14227960
Yeah true. I usually steam mine in a basket that's already going for like 5 minutes. Don't really like them fried or grilled.

>split open along the top of the tail using shears or a knife
>splay open a bit, keeping the two halves intact
>put on hot grill
>couple minutes later, lather on some of melted butter

If your grill is hot it should cook pretty quick. It is done when it is no longer translucent. Have butter for dipping.

About how long should I boil or steam them?

>>14228006
Grill seems more like my style I like to grill

>>14227813
If you thaw them use them within a day. Lobster spoils pretty quickly. Also, they are just a vessel for melted butter, cook them any way you want. Once the shell is bright orange they done. Usually a full lobster takes 10-12 mins for the normal size steamed. Having just the tails, it might need less time cooking.

>>14227979
How long would you do, though? This can overcook easily, right? Like I say, never made them but it's that delicate shellfish and I imagine it's not a long cooking time but then you don't want to undercook either.

>>14228022
yea fuck boiling or steaming.. those are spiny lobster like we get here in the Florida Keys and grilling is standard

>>14228036
Once the basket is steamy, I put the lobster in and put a lid on for five or six minutes. I'm talking about those bamboo baskets that you may or may not have seen at some Asian restaurants.

Have you guys ever heard of using a fucking thermometer? Cook them to about 57C.

>>14228120
Imagine walking around with a thermometer every time you cook because you're a dork cooklet.

>>14227845
beautiful

love you lad

>>14228120
Why do metricfags always praise their system but cook things to an odd number temp that matches up with imperial standards? Why not 55 degrees? why not 60? Its because you are retarded.

OP, when are you cooking them? If you don't do them in here, start a thread, bud. Interested to see how they turn out.

>>14227813
Grind them into sausages

>>14228120
Don't ever reply to my posts if you are going to say something this stupid.

Microwave for 10 minutes

>>14227905
If I paid for a lobster and some asshole put garlic on it I would stab them in Minecraft.

>>14228418
I didn't say "on it". Read properly. I said to dip in. Twat.

>>14227813
>30$ of already dead lobster

If you're scared just sous vide them so you're 1000% sure you're not fucking them up, then finish them in the best way you like.

>>14228482
I'd love to see a whole live lobster get sous vide'd

>>14228507
You don't sous vide it whole

>>14227813
Steam, em, shell em, cut em up, and toss them in a bechamel and linguine. Top with fresh cracked black pepper and a little parmigiano

>>14228911
Why not

>>14227813
Microwave them on high for 10 min.
Wa La

>>14228416
Great minds think alike.

$29.74?
Lmao
short answer: don't
long answer:steam and slather with garlic butter with a nice green vegetable as a side
Hope you get laid bro

>>14228120
Or, you could learn to cook lobster without the help of a thermometer. Lobster isn't hard to cook, whether you boil them (don't boil lobster, man) steam them, grill them, poach them, oven cook them, it's easy.

>>14229057
It's covid dawg...get outta the basement, groceries are more expensive now.

>>14229408
just shoplift

>>14229445
How do you know he didn't?

>>14227813
Most importantly. Remove the shit strand

>>14227813
First, you have to wear cleets.

>>14229630
You mean cleats, Cleetus.

Just make lobster sashimi. Can't overcook that

>>14227813
Lobster thermidor is very tasty. Is this for a special occasion?

>>14227813
Bodil in salty water, then chop them in halv lengthwise and serve with melted butter if you want. Lobster is beautiful by itself

>>14228212
>Why not 55 degrees? why not 60?
Because those aren't the temperatures where the protein denatures or where some parasite is killed.
Why cook less or more than you need? Cook exactly to what is necessary.

This >>14228471
They surely have to partially cook them to keep. At this point you're a long ways away from Flavor Town.

>eating lobster that was dead before it was cooked
I have no experience with this. I know it’s not bad in practice, but I’m from Newfoundland. We like our lobsters alive as we like our baby seals dead.

>>14227813
lobster terminator is the way to go, son

>>14228361
This, seeing as we helped you. Show us the final dish.

>>14227813
honestly, if you cant get a whole live lobster, just dont bother with lobster. if the claws are 10/10 the tail is like 5/10 at best

>>14231915
shit, I meant thermidor.
Stupid phone.
