How to cook lobster

2 Conversations

A lobster is a small shelled crustcean resembling a giant ugly bug with huge pincers. It is native to New England and is a delicacy in other parts of the country. If you insist on taking the matter of cooking it rather than letting some other sucker willing to risk a body part, here are some good rules to follow.

1. The claws have been fitted with a giant rubber band, under no circumstances are you to remove this! Unless of course you think that you wouldn't mind losing a body part.

2. Do not attempt to play, cuddle, or throw the lobster around you are already going to boil the thing to death there is no need to torture it anymore than necesarry.

3. There are only two ways to cook lobster you can boil it or steam it. If you wish to boil it, put a small bit of water at the bottom make sure the lobster and water don't touch. Turn on the heat and wait about 10 minutes or until the lobsters are red. If you choose to boil it, add water the n put lobster cook until lobsters ae red. Add a beer towards the end of the cooking process, it makes it taste better.

4. When eating, the tail and claws are really the only pieces worth tying to crack.

5. Have some nutcrackers on hand it is the only way to get to the meat inside the shell.

6. Perhaps most important, the shell is inedible, the meat is inside the shell.

Finally if you have completed all the steps without hurting yourself too badly, enjoy your meal!
