How To Cook Lobster With Kids

Ion Doll had a blast cooking lobster and teaching Gabby some of the biology and anatomy as well.  Some basic lobster facts are:

-Lobsters have a crusher claw (larger claw) and a pincer claw (smaller claw).  The crusher claw can be either on the right or left claw.

-Lobsters can weigh up to 40 pounds & grow up to 4 feet in length.

-Lobster meat is high in protein, up to 28 grams of protein per cup.

-Lobsters are a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

-Lobsters can live up to 100 years.

For the lobster boil, make sure you have a parent cooking for you.  You will need:

-1 8 qt. pot.

-Stainless steel tongs.

-1 Pyrex pan.

-1 live lobster (Buy Live Lobster:  http://amzn.to/2rJ70YG).

-2 tablespoons (tbsp.) of OLD BAY Seasoning.

-BOIL for 10-12 minutes.  Make sure water is BOILING before adding lobster to water so you do not OVERCOOK it.

-Vent & stir
