Lobster is advertised at $2.99 / lb in Purity Supreme this week.
Microwaving Lobster?
Over Labour Day Weekend I was in Upstate N.Y. and picked up a leaflet
in Wegmans grocery store giving microwaving instructions. Anyone done
it this way - how did the lobsters turn out?
MICROWAVING LOBSTER - INSTRUCTIONS.
*Note: I haven't tried this out.*
Sever the spinal cord. Turn the lobster backside down and peg the tail
with a wooden skewer t prevent curling, by pushing the point of the
skewer through the soft shell and sliding it up the length of the trai.
(Bamboo skewer will do fine for this).
Place a single lobster, shell side up in a shallow container suitable
for microwave cooking. The dish should be large enough to hold the
whole lobster. Add 1/4C (4 fl.oz). Cover with plastic wrap, folding
back one corner to vent.
**(If you use a dish with a lid large enough to hold the whole
lobster, there is no need to sever the spinal cord or to peg the
tail.)
TO COOK a 1 1/4 lb lobster. Microwave on high power for 6.5 to 8
minues and allow 5 minutes standing time (The standing time is
necessary to finish cooking without making lobster meat tough).
The cooking time may have to be increased or decreased one minute for
each 2 oz over or under the 1 1/4 lb weight of the lobster. Weigh you
lobster on a cale or check the weight/price sticker on the packge.
Fractions of a pound are labeled in tentch. Each 1/1- lb equals
slightly over 1 1/2 oz.
Enjoy - Anna

I have 2 questions regarding the previous note. It says add 1/4 c (4
oz)
It doesnt say 1/4 cup of what, and 1/4 cup is 2 oz, not 4 oz.

| 3626.2 | 12 vs.20 | DNEAST::MAHANEY_MIKE | Tue Sep 15 1992 10:32 | 4 | |
With still looking at a total of about 12 minutes cooking time,
I think I would still rather boil mine for 20 without having to
operate on it!

.1 Apologies
Yes, I stand corrected, goodness only knows what I was thinking when I
was trying to type this in!
Its 1/4C water! which is equal to 2fl oz.

i can't believe that anyone would even think about putting a live
lobster in a microwave and zapping him. yes, i love to eat them too
but isn't that alittle harsh. if you decide to use this method by all
means severing the spinal cord should be done, IMO.

Lobsters have no nervous system. That equates to no sense
of feeling as we know it. A lobster is in no agony if you
rip off his claw. It just grows another one.
I agree, however, and cannot bring myself to drop one into
the pot of boiling water! (; And, since I don't like lobster,
I don't have to! (: (:
