Baked Lobster Tail

Whether it's for date night or a dinner party, the June Food Thermometer gives you the confidence to cook lobster like a pro. “Piggybacking” the uncooked lobster tail by lifting the meat through the cut shell creates that stunning presentation you’re used to seeing at high-end restaurants, but you can remove the meat from the shell completely or even cook it in the shell.

Cut the top of the shell

Place the lobster tails on the June Pan. Use kitchen shears to cut the top of one lobster shell down the center without cutting through the fan of the tail. Flip the tail over.

Cut the underside of the shell

Cut down the middle of the underside of the shell. Leave the central fin (the fan at the end of the tail) intact.

Piggyback the lobster

Slip your thumb between the shell and the meat and use it to carefully loosen the meat from the shell on both sides. Once the meat is loosened, gently lift it through the top slit and rest it on the shell. Repeat with the remaining lobster tail.

Insert the June Food Thermometer

Horizontally insert the June Food Thermometer into the center of thickest part of the larger lobster tail.
