Answer 1

Best Cooking:

Because lobster meat is so delicately flavored, tender, and rather costly, most chefs agree that it's best not to over-embellish. While whole lobsters can be cooked in a variety of different ways, many people think it's at its best simply broiled or boiled, and eaten fresh from the shell, dipped into melted butter or a light sauce.
