Notes

  • Broil Method- Preheat the broiler and position a rack 5-6 inches from the heating element. Place lobster tail, which the tail cut down the center and meat exposed, onto a heavy duty baking sheet. Baste it with olive oil to prevent it from drying out. Broil for 5-7 minutes until the meat is no longer translucent and the internal temperature of it is 140-145°F. Generally, broilers are between 525-550°F, unless you have a commercial oven like mine that goes up to 1850°F. Times can vary greatly, so keep an eye out!
  • Baking Method- Preheat oven to 350°. Place the lobster on a baking sheet and baste with oil. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the meat is no longer translucent and the internal temperature of it is 140-145°F.
  • Steaming Method- Bring 1 inch water to a boil in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and the correct size to fit a steamer basket. When the water begins to boil, place tails, cut and meat side up, in the steamer basket for 5-6 minutes or until the meat is no longer translucent and the internal temperature of it is 140-145°F.
  • Already Cooked Method- Ask the seafood counter to do it for you.
