lobster tail recipe

Fridge overnight – Place in fridge to thaw safely overnight, right in the package. It’s the easiest and safest method but requires advance planning. Bag submerged in cold water on the counter – Submerge lobster tails in a bag in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. This method is fairly fast (my tails were 5 ounces and took about 1 hour to thaw), but requires constant monitoring for safety. Bag submerged in cold water in the fridge – Place the bagged tails in cold water in the fridge. It’s safer than counter thawing and doesn’t need frequent water changes. It takes longer than the counter method, but is faster than doing it in the package. Bag under cold running water – Thaw frozen lobster under cold running water. It’s the fastest method, but wasteful in terms of water use and still takes some time. Microwave thaw setting – Use the microwave’s thaw setting for rapid thawing. This method is quick but can unevenly cook the edges and is not recommended for best quality.
