Or, use beer instead of water. I like mine with drawn butter but if your lobster is fresh enough you won't need it :). If making lobster salad all you need is mayo, celery, and a tiny bit of lemon on a buttered roll. </p> <p>Tips courtesy of your favorite lobsterman's wife &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217226 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:44:33 +0000 Mae 1217226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't eat lobster, but funny story: My dad wanted lobster for his birthday so my mom bought one that morning from the grocery store and the grocer said that it would be fine in the carton in the fridge until dinner. But my dad felt bad for it and wanted it to not be too stressed out before it died so he filled the sink up with water and plopped it in to let it swim free until dinner time. Then he and my mom went out. When they got back... dead lobster. (Lobsters don't like fresh water... he'd inadvertently prematurely murdered his lobster and had to go buy another, lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217222 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:43:47 +0000 HabesBabe 1217222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alton Brown says to stick them in the freezer for a few mins (10? 15?) before steaming them so that way they're semi-unconcious? I've never done it that way... I just toss them in and try to ignore their sad, sad lobster claws scratching against the pot. And their cries... the CRIES!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217220 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:42:44 +0000 luckypenny 1217220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the way they are doing it now is putting a knife through the back of the head and then throwing them in boiling water right away. I saw it on Master Chef lol </p> <p><a href="http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-kill-a-lobster-fine-coo-89291" rel="nofollow">http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-kill-a-lobster-fine-coo-89291</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217216 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:39:59 +0000 regberadaisy 1217216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I prefer to steam alive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217193 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:33:45 +0000 mediagirl 1217193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: not at all.

It's sooo good and usually there's residual butter left over from the stir fry that you can dip bread into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217166 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:26:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1217166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We steam them.

Serve with lemon wedges. </p> <p>We also eat a lot of lobster salad: lobster, minced celery, squeeze of lemon, tiny bit of mayo.</p> <p>Mmm, I love lobster!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-say-you-want-lobster-for-your-birthday-dinner#post-1217104 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:07:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 1217104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh I don't prepare lobster.
