Sounds crazy but the taste, texture, and color of microwaved lobster is far SUPERIOR to boiled or steamed,plus it produces an evenly cooked,tender result.However,you can only cook one at a time.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • large microwavable plastic bag
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 lb lobster

Step1
Place the lobster in the bag w/ 1/4 cup water and knot the bag loosely.
Step2
Place lobster for 5 to 6 minutes on high in a 500-600 watt oven. If you have a lower watt oven allow 8 minutes.To be sure it is fully cooked, seperate the tail from the body. The lobster should be creamy white,not translucent.
Step3
Even when microwaved the lobster must still be cooked live because of the enzymatic breakdown that occurs immediately upon its death.

Tips & Warnings

  • If the lobsters movements bother you , put it in the freezer for 10 minutes before cooking to dull its senses,this will reduce movement to about 20 seconds.

on 4/25/2008 Interesting, this is something I hadn't thought of doing--and I usually think of all short cuts! I'll have to try this for my anniversary. (I'll try to remember to come back and make a note of how it turned out!) ~Tamee
