Live Lobster

I want to cook a live lobster, and I want to know the best way to prepare

You can kill humanely by putting it in a large pot of tap water and drown, which is nicer than the boil to death, which is so cruel! Once dead, boil until it turns red, split in half and scoop out the meat, make a Mornay sauce and toss the meat in a Mornay sauce and return to the half-shell to serve. Sprinkle with croutons and cheese on top and put under broiler just enough to melt the cheese and broil the croutons. Super delish!

Steam or boil and serve with butter.
* Addendum: Sue, live lobsters in the water, thus putting them in a pot of it will not drown.

You need at least a pot with gallons of water in it. Remove the lobster for 7-9 minutes and put it out of the check. When you can easily remove one of his legs walking off, it's done. A pounders usually take about seven minutes and a quarter and about ten pounds. Pliers are a must. It is good to have a towel to put on when you check.

Some chefs take the bands off the claws, saying it keeps the meat tender, but I think it's an extra step and it is perhaps getting a crushed finger.

When you buy lobsters try to get them with long antennae. They tend to nibble each other antennas in the tanks, so those who have the longest are generally the most recently captured.

I recommend steam for better color and taste.

1) Boil in plenty of salted water.
or
2) it split along the length of the bottom and stuff it with stuffing flaorful, then grill. I do not know the time of hand, but not too long.
3) You can kill a lobster by sticking a knife cut between the sections of the spinal cord.

I like Richard D'recipe better, nothing bc / grilled / roasted always taste the best. (Boil or steam a bit first, then grill or broil). When the grill, the sugars caramelize and give it flavor. You will not get that if you boil or steam as he.
