I’m making a seafood boil on Tuesday so this video is extremely helpful! Thank you 😊

[@shenanigans8apeach]

Can I come over for dinner?

[@ShirinDelsooz]

Skip to 1:04 for the boiling times.

[@702pow]

Ive seen some ppl cut them prior to boiling..does that make any difference?

[@mr.channel6467]

Supposedly it does 🤷‍♂️

[@MrCoolTron]

Thanks Dan you saved Christmas

[@beachwalker2574]

You should of said ........ If you are drinking DON'T forget the Tails in the boiling water !!!! Soooo 20mins later I had to go to Costco and spend another 350.00 on Tails... Back in my day I spent 200 on tail and it was a great time...

[@nancysherburne7445]

Your error is one of my pet peeves and has to do with the pronunciation. The correct word is "have," not "of."

[@burymeinjhenny918]

@@nancysherburne7445 who cares

[@leewos11]

No mention if you add salt to the water............ would be nice to know

[@LobsterGram]

You may choose to salt it or not. In this video, we did not as the difference it makes is not enough to effect the Lobster.

[@nancysherburne7445]

@@LobsterGram Thank you because that other site says to add a lot of salt and that did not set well with me and my hypertension! I will boil mine in unsalted water and count on the salt in the butter to flavor the meat.

[@TheItsmegp46]

While I appreciate the recipe, it would have been better if the camera person actually focused on your hands while cutting the tail instead of just the finished product.

[@JohnnyJ50f]

What about the POOP shoot? Did you clean that before boiling? If so... how do you easily "clean" the tail of the feces and digestive tract?

[@dwayneevans683]

exactly i notice he didnt clean or check it, but sometimes when u seperate the body from the tail u pull it out.

[@DavidSmith-dr7rc]

Thnx fo the video. It worked like a charm

[@shenanigans8apeach]

Does anybody ever take out the shit vein? That would of been a great tip for others to know...

[@andrewgalletta7119]

does the water have to return to a boil before starting the timer

[@PEPPERJET7]

Do you salt the water?

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

Yes

[@ticleve2]

So if I have 2, 14 oz tails I would boil them for 6 1/2 minutes, not 21 minutes.

[@zawaFNBR]

This tutorial is working is 2021 thanks!

[@michaelloechel6753]

What about for two lobster tails? Do you double the time?

[@studlygrish]

I cut mine before i boil them.much easier to open them after

[@paulsweet1746]

they look good I can't wait to try it out what would you recommend for a side dish

[@LobsterGram]

A nice filet!

[@simmack17]

Fried chicken with peanut butter

[@jeffreysinger9128]

Thank you fir the tips 👍❤️💯

[@nancysherburne7445]

I have 10 6-ounce lobster tails to boil for the meat I'll need for lobster rolls. The trouble is one site says 5-6 minutes for a 6-7 ounce tail while Lobster Gram says 4. I may just boil them until their shells turn bright red and the meat feels solid. Then I will hope the meat from each will be sufficient for each roll.

[@infringinator]

I only have 8 7oz tails you win Nancy. You win.

[@orta77]

should I boil 4 min PER TAIL at 4oz each? Or 4 min TOTAL for two tails weighing 4 oz each? Sorry if this is an idiotic question, but these guys are expensive and I dont want to mess up.

[@Hhybhhh]

I would say 4 minutes per tail

[@VictoriaHaneveer]

I know you probably already cooked these 8 months ago but in case someone else is reading, it doesn't matter how many in the pot as long as the pot is big enough. The time stated is the TOTAL COOKING time. Whether there are 1, 2 or 4 tails in there, it won't affect the cooking time. So it's about 45 seconds per ounce regardless of how many you're doing at once. Obviously if you have lots you'll need to do them in batches because they should not be crowded in the pot.

[@mmaranger13]

Victoria Haneveer Thanks, helped me. Daughter loved them.

[@jackschlong]

Victoria Haneveer Yummy, I'm grilling some tonight, and you're cute. I have to ask, are Lobster Tail considered an aphrodisiac? Cause something just came over me. ===D (MY BAD) But if you have a sense of humor, you should be smiling. Have a wonderful day.

[@VictoriaHaneveer]

Jack McSchlong Lol... not sure I want to know what happened 2 days ago! Hope your lobster tails were yummy though!

[@TheVlogLife]

Looks good!!!

[@Mirko7012]

I can smell the lobster by watching this video

[@fireside007]

YOU ~ ROCK ! !

[@Kaylaclassstorys2011]

can u make a video on lobster rolls?

[@Countrylife83]

You don't cut yours before cooking?

[@globalprincess489]

Thank u

[@BudsCartoon]

Won't it be hard to dig out of the shell and eat since it wasn't removed from the membrane

[@laurar4551]

BUDS: The Animated Series 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂not if you have the right tools lol

[@lisadr8344]

Pretty fast and simple, what about seasoning?

[@bleen62]

Paprika!

[@n40tom]

A little Old Bay, salt and cayenne pepper. not too much of any of them really adds to the flavor.

[@johnroby6524]

Do you add old bay to the water before cooking or straight to the tail after its done?

[@n40tom]

@@johnroby6524 Usually I add it to the butter that I'm going to use. I have added it to the water also more or less the way you boil blue crabs. It changes the flavor a lot but it's also good that way.

[@edwardlovrr]

I'm here cuz of an english assignment...

Hope you passed! ;)

[@bonggenoso]

Yay

[@okaythen001]

baked in oven center rack for 18.5 min 375F 9oz, the shell under the meat was still raw color didn't turn red, is this normal? very little bit of meat was transparent,mostly white juicy and tender, tahnks for the vid

[@702pow]

Lol

[@jackschlong]

Any lobster cooked right is good, but boiled is the last way I'd go, just because when I grill them you can baste them marinate them turn them over and do it again baby, add more of any ingredient you want or crave. Boiled is boiled, you can add to the water, but I do find grilling, broiling, baking much more flavorful but thanks anyway for taking the time.I always use a Weber, charcoal or wood, but what ever you're most comfortable with is what you should use.

[@lissyvillabona1969]

Guess what? Not everyone has a grill or the room for a grill. This video looks like a perfect way to have delicious lobster tails. Why not do your own video on grilling instead of knocking this video.

[@user-nf4nh1gg5i]

Fuck yea Dan, this guy fucks

[@mr.channel6467]

😂

[@rdelgado77]

It would’ve been nice if You shared how many minutes to boil it for

[@elkhills1]

He did. He gave us a chart on the screen. Or do the math yourself if you prefer- 45 seconds per ounce.

[@deadfiero]

doesn't even clean them

[@BESTCLIPSAR0UND]

Lmao just follow the boiling time not the seasoning method 😂

[@larrygdwl]

Same bloody American measurement - oz and so on!

[@GreatJim54]

Wow! How unexpected! An American in America representing an American company cooking American lobster tails using American units of measure! Who would have thought?

[@Mariekr49]

So you never have to actually clean frozen lobster tails?

[@Babysista]

marie kr All meat should be cleaned thoroughly. 🙂

[@50hellkat2]

😮😮😮 No

[@utubetravel8524]

they look ok, but the accent.. arghh,...

[@rtjrtj21]

This is a poor presentation on boiling lobster tails. Add salt to the water. Rule of thumb: Boil 1 1/2 min. per ounce of thawed tail. Cut starting at the front of the tail not the end And boiling is NOT the best way! Why are you showing this video and making a fool of yourself?

[@nancysherburne7445]

This year was the first time I tried steaming lobsters as opposed to boiling them. Much as I will continue steaming live lobsters I will boil the tails. To each his own.

[@laurafromny9283]

Dan, YOU'RE the "Lobster Man"?!! I HIGHLY doubt it and you are an embarrassment to Lobster Gram...if THAT IS who you really represent. First off BOILING lobsters is the LEAST gourmet way to get to their flavor and tenderness. Second, you don't even know how to properly cut through the tail of a lobster? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??! Have you never worked at a restaurant or around lobsters at all??!! PATHETIC!!!

[@lightsdarkness7714]

how do i do it then....steaming?...i know this sounds stupid but everyones oven seems different...if you are like 375 degrees for 30 minutes sometimes it won't work on another over for that temp and time....gimme an easy method ny

[@AlexanderBrusilovsky]

Don't you have to clean them before boiling them?

[@mr.channel6467]
