This Is How I Do It

[jorluivil]

Here's how I seal my lobster

I typically do this on the tail gate of my truck or I'll get out some saw horses and law down a piece of plywood

1. Lay an old shirt or towel down to catch the lobster gooooo:ack2:

2. I got a hold of one of these bread trays, I will lay the lobster on it once they're cut and let the goooooo:drool5: drip out

3. I cut the bottom membrane of the lobster from one side to the other, its not necessary but it makes it a bit easier when you twist the tail off the carapace.

4. Once the lobster has been de-tailed I will break off one of the antenna and cut-off about 2/3 of the antenna(discard flexible portion). Next, I will insert the antenna in the anus, shove it in as far as possible:D and turn in 1-2 times :eek:

5. As you start to pull the antenna out you will be pulling out the intestine, once its completely out you can discard this.

6. I will take some paper towels and fold side over side twice. Once the towel has been folded over I will place the towel over the bottom portion of the tail and cover the spines/thorns/pointy things that hurt when they stick you.....yes, I'm speaking from experience:(

6-A. If the tail is wider than the tail do not fold the towel over twice. After folding it over once take approximately 1/3 of each side of the towel and fold it over.

Do you eat the paper towel afterwards?

[StinkyMatt]

Can you include a photo of you pressing the "ON" button.


How do you place them in the freezer? North-south or east-west?


Can the lobster be next to the chicken or should I place a barrier in between?


:D

All those questions AND MORE were released in the un-edited version that was sent to "special-west-coast-members."

Pushing the "ON" button is a lot harder than you think...

I don't have a vacmaster vp112. Guess I'm SOL. :-(

Excellent pictorial on bug cleaning. Smart to cut underside 1st as this is where the nerve ("spinal") cord is and usually paralyzes the flapping tail. That gel-like goo stains so don't do it on patio/driveway without plastic sheet underneath. Be sure to wait until you get home to de-tail as it is illegal to clean it elsewhere. Thanks for sharing!
