Getting Live Lobster To Fix In Your Own Kitchen

By Debra Schmidt


A seafood meal is considered the epitome of classy and luxurious cuisine. People spend top dollar on restaurant meals just to get the chance to sample fare like live lobster as it is meant to be cooked. In reality, making a meal with this primary entree proves to be relatively simple and quick. It just takes some common sense approaches and some consideration to safety and sanitation, much the same that anyone would pay before fixing and eating any kind of food. People keen to prepare this dish at home can do so by using these suggestions.

Before anyone can prepare the entree, they must have the main ingredient. Lobsters are sold pretty much everywhere now, even in states where seafood is not harvested or produced locally. The fact that lobsters are sold everywhere, however, does not mean that every merchant is worthy of someone's business. People are advised to check out the crustacean tank for cleanliness, as well as the entire store for sanitation and safety standards. If the tank or the store looks dirty, people might shop elsewhere.

Another tip for purchasing involves making sure that the crustaceans are healthy looking and free from any signs of injury or illness. If the lobsters are listless or if they look like they have been injured, they may be avoided in favor of others in the tank. If all of them look ill, shoppers may find it better to do business at an other grocery store.

It also might benefit people to comparison shop, given the prices for lobsters throughout the year. Prices tend to be lowest in the autumn when these creatures are harvested from the sea. Even so, stores charge different prices, making it necessary for bargain hunters to look around before buying.

Just as soon as people get home, they may put their lobsters in the refrigerator if they are not ready to start dinner. The crustaceans can stay in there for several hours. They go into a hibernation state while being refrigerated.

To prepare them, individuals may do well to bring a stock pot full of water to a boil. The water can be seasoned with salt and other spices if preferred. Once the water is boiling, people can then gently lower their lobsters into the pot. As they boil, these crustaceans will turn a bright red color. Boiling times vary; however, it is typically recommended that the meal boils for at least 12 to 15 minutes per one pound. This cooking time can be longer if the lobsters are bigger.

If the person cooking does not want the seasoned water to go to waste, he or she can also add potatoes, corn on the cob, and other side foods in with the crustaceans being boiled. These other foods can be added at the midway point of boiling. People can eat the extra sides with their main meal.

Using these strategies, people can cook a lobster that is live for dinner. The process tends to be quicker than people realize. They may also add some extras like corn and potatoes to round out the rest of the meal.
