How to Cook and Eat a Lobster

How to Cook and Eat a Lobster
Ingredients
maine lobsters
rock lobster tails
lemon wedges, optional
Instructions
Maine Lobster
1. Drop a live lobster into a large pot of heavily salted water. While the water comes to a boil, cut the rubber bands off the lobster claws.
2. Cook the lobster for about 7 minutes for the first pound and 3 minutes for each pound after. Remove them from the pot and submerge them in an ice bath so they don't overcook and become tough.
3. Make sure that the Lobster's tail is curled (which means it is safe to eat). After the lobster is cool enough to handle, you can start to take it apart.
4. Twist the tail apart from the body. Twist off the claws. Use a nutcracker or knife to release the meat in the claws. To remove the meat from the tail, remove the legs and cut along the underside of the tail with pair of kitchen shears.
5. Use a lobster pick to find extra meat in the legs and body cavity.
Rock Lobster Tails
1. Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
2. Place the tails on the grill for about 4 minutes and then turn and cook for about 2 minutes longer.
3. Stand the tails on end and cook for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the grill.
4. Cut the tail end off and cut along the underside with a pair of kitchen shears to release the meat.
5. Slice the meat on a bias and fan out on a plate. Serve with a side of melted butter.

As soon as the lobster enters the water, it dies instantly with no pain or suffering.

Putting the lobster in the boiling water will kill them.

Ameer Hijjawi 1. I was simply making a joke since my username is captain Obvious, I was stating the Obvious (AKA They will die in boiling water) Everyone else who replied saw that. Way to overreact... 2. I suggest you seek anger management and mental help ASAP! Wow... seriously, take a cold shower and calm the fuck down you crazy nutjob.

Yummy

[@amestizzo]

The first video about lobster that i reaaly learn! Tks. But some doubts from an amateur: 1- dont need clean before like shrimps? 2- the part before the tail until head doesnt have meat? 3- can i serve in only take off the cartilage and let the meat inside? TKs a lot. kisses from Brasil.

[@jashawnpratt570]

Wow

[@BillyBJohnson]

I love lobster

[@ngginke803]

Yummy yummy...!!!!

[@MrTomalu]

It is best to freeze a live lobster, then cut down middle of head while it is frozen and numb, then boil.

[@LapisOverlord]

MrTomalu boil it alive and it tastes best

[@shauryarajbhandari1419]

Lol the background music while the lobster is cooked alive.

[@ferdi301]

Ikr.. It's kinda sad tbh

[@mrbig1136]

its kinda funny tbh

[@lordseelenfresserdemonking1168]

Rock lobster!

[@danieltadros3262]

I could never boil anything alive. I don't have it in me.

[@jrcenina85]

I love lobster and will probably end up watching this video again with store-bought lobster in hand, but the happy music mixed with the lobster going into the boiling water @ 0:50 is really bizarre and depressing. Regardless, thanks for the post.

[@gabbiebobbs3543]

Thats soooo sad...yet sooo good looking

[@PastorPeewee20]

live boil tastes great that's more of the point anyway

[@guyinsj6591]

I don't know how to cook but I know how to eat...yum..yum...

[@javisagreda9100]

I think you should cut the head in half so it doesnt feel pain,And i heard if you drop in like that the meat throbs

[@Hmmm-hr8rp]

Way easier to cut the lobster from the harder top shell, then peel open. It's a pet peeve watching a How To video showing a harder way of doing things.

[@luchen4307]

such a WASTE! Why throw away the whole lobster head? just steam the lobster brain with liquid eggs mixed with water, you will know how delicious the lobster brain is! And why grill the lobster? just light-fry with ginger, green onion and garlic, also give little bit hot sause, soy sause, WE NEVER PUT SUCH WONDERFUL FRESH SEAFOOD INTO GRILL!

[@Hj98007]

Are you from Taiwan my fellow? Im from Hong Kong and I strongly agree with u. Thats how we all eat that in Hong Kong and Taiwan and it's unique.

[@luchen4307]

I'm from China Mainland, love Cantonese cooking:)

[@Hj98007]

Good!

[@luchen4307]

This video instructed the viewers to put the lobster into grill for 8 minutes? All the good stuff is GONE~~~

[@MyDaniel98]

Harry Poon lol woah you're from Hong Kong?! wow.... wow.... wow.........

[@mrbluenun]

Hello there, At last, someone who knows the rubber band should be removed and remembers to do so, thank you so much! I am so envious of the wealth of wonderful and AVAILABLE wonderful Lobster and just about every fish for popular eating is there for those who want to go and get some for dinner or a snack. Love your simple way to do this wonderful animal, Just wish I knew where I could get them here in London England UK, I am an invalid have no family or friends, and find it next to impossible to find these through the post in the UK. I am going on the taste I one time had a single half a lobster tail which was £44.00 in a pretty but otherwise plain Restaurant, I think they saw me coming and stung me hard! Many thanks for this upload. We have a Fish Market in London England UK but trying to get any lobster tails sent through the post is just impossible! They should be ashamed, all they deal with is the trade and cash! So finding any to kook is not easy which for a Country surrounded by ocean and criss crossed by rivers and lakes is the ultimate irony. I would love some but getting out anywhere is next to impossible for this invalid anyway! Take care mrbluenun

The lobsters are so tasty.They're perfect with lemons.Squeeze it with them and eat.

Do you know about David Foster Wallace's essay "Consider the Lobster"?

[@user-yi9pv9wx9g]

the lobster was changed into red ! i really want to eat it and enjoy

[@michaelmurdoch5019]

What about the intestinal tract?

[@holidaykitchen]

Some people care to remove it and some don't. I typically make a shallow incision on the underside of the tail to release it.

[@michaelmurdoch5019]

[@rostfleck79]

OK, I bought a lobster. Now how do I find out if it's an HD one?

[@ReadThisOnly]

oh my god he's just a baby

[@henrykvear4062]

why do they have to be alive?

[@alexismclean6777]

They don't. You can kill them two ways, splitting them through the brain, or putting them in the freezer for 15-30 minutes before putting them in boiling water. I don't know why someone would cool them alive-it's a show of disrespect for the animal your eating.

[@psycold]

Disrespected animal tastes way better though.

[@fxntyi]

because if u cook them dead it’s going to smell bad

[@michael49777]

@@alexismclean6777 Wrong, the humane way to dispatch a lobster is to put it into freshwater for 3/4 minutes then straght into the pot.

Yes Mackie you are absolutely right it is very very cruel to cook live lobster any other food. Jamie, I like your food tube but can't support this, please consider. Thanks

[@zacharytakach8487]

Put a skewer in the rock lobster tails when your grill them and they won’t curl.

[@asetanu1713]

I love lobster, I once cooked two of them and ate them with a friend of mine. Best is to cook them alive. The rubbers DO NOT alter the taste, its a myth.

[@policemanZlatan]

not a myth anymore

[@HermionesGrin00]

Damn

[@jennyhartman3]

I have heard that boiling them live is inhumane, and that cutting down the middle of the head to kill is more humane. I am not sure how true it is. I have never bought a live lobster, any thoughts. I am not being rude, just wondering :)

[@joseaguirre9389]

its definitely true but some people dont like boiling it after it has a slice in the head because juices go out and water goes in the lobster therefor taking away a lot of the flavor

[@Kittymyre]

You kill the lobster before you boil it. Anything else is inhumane...! And to preserve the juices you simply use the water coming out of the lobster, mix it with melted butter and pour on the lobster when halfed. Easy as that.

[@justyourlittlestar]

ahhh i really wanna have lobster T_T

[@yilongzhong9251]

How long does the lobster cook

[@nilmp6643]

2021 here. I was waiting for the part where you show some humane gesture and put a knife in his brain before the boil. JUST ME. 2021 out.

[@roadmess7505]

Why to put live lobsters in boiling water

[@123PIMPization]

First kill the lobster. Hit it at the t rip it in half tails 3-4 minutes claws 5minutes. Make sure waters salted with acid so the body coagulates. And pulls from the shell easier. If not eating right away place in an ice bath let cool. Then dig in

[@123PIMPization]

Make sure u take the spine of the tail put and extract the poop shoot 😂

[@LapisOverlord]

Don’t kill the lobster boil it alive it tastes best that way
