Simply bookmark the page. Best if you set up a folder specifically for web recipes.

Preheat oven to 400 F and bake covered for 10 - 15 minutes. See wikiHow to Bake Lobster Tails for step-by-step instructions.

Water has weight, but the amount when frozen is negligible. Buy whatever you can at the best price. All tails are frozen before shipping, so be careful of refreezing tails that have already been thawed.

Yes, you can. You should boil the lobster for 30-40 minutes if you are taking them straight out of the freezer and not thawing them out first.

Not really. Microwaving uncooked lobster doesn't make for the best experience. You can reheat in the microwave, but I'd cook it using one of the methods listed first.

Yes. It is actually easier to bake a defrosted tail than one that is still frozen.

It means it was dead too long before it was frozen. Get your money back or exchange them.

When you re-heat the lobster to eat, try making a cream sauce. Don't add a lot of salt, just a pinch. The sauce will balance out the saltiness of the lobster.

Not necessarily. The shell will help keep the flavor and act as a protection for the meat, so leave it in. The only time the tail should be cut and opened is if you're baking, broiling or butter poaching.

No. The part of the lobster tail that is sticking out will cook, while the thickest part of the lobster tail will be frozen.

Parboil the tails in boiling water for 2 minutes. Cut in half, butter them, then place on the grill until done. See wikiHow to Grill Lobster Tails for step-by-step instructions.

Reheat cooked tails in the microwave for about 1 - 1½ minutes with a 1000-watt unit. You will need longer time for lower wattage units, and a little less for higher.

I boil them with the shell cut down the middle, usually around 1 minute per ounce. When they cool down a little, they aren’t too hard to remove from the shell.

No. A dead lobster starts to decompose within minutes of dying. The flesh becomes very mushy and not at all pleasant to eat. If you're sold a dead lobster, get your money back. If you're going lobstering yourself, try to keep them in cold water or on ice until ready to cook.

You will need about 3 slices of butter, then proceed to cook the lobster tails in the sauce as said in the steps above.

If you defrosted the lobster tails in the refrigerator, then you can safely refreeze them. However, if you defrosted them in the microwave or in cold water, you should use them immediately because they have been warmed and could begin to grow bacteria.
