Maine Lobster

This season, lobster is in! Last Sunday, my family and I had a home cooked live lobster fest. I approve of Maine lobster. Even though its size can only supply you with half a stomach's fill, it will definitely leave you satisfied. My dad was the main chef, and he told me a few secrets about cooking crustaceans:

1. Rinse the lobster in the sink first. It'll take care of any unwanted germs on the shell.

2. If cooking live lobster, watch your fingers carefully.

3. Grab a large pot filled with hot water and stuff your lobster down. Limit of 3 per pot.

4. Let your seafood boil for 10 minutes will the pot lid on. Then remove.

5. Continue the lobster Jacuzzi for 5 more minutes. 

6. Platter your lobster!

I recommend using vinegar and/or mayonnaise as dipping sauce. Butter could work, but I don't recommend it because the lobster just gets oily. Besides, butter is empty calories!!!
