Lobster is yummy for my tummy & I really don't think that the lobsters, or large cockroaches as I like to call them, have the intelligence to have empathy. Even if they did - we have opposed thumbs for a reason.

Bake (or boil on....

Mike from CA, nobody cares what you think. If you don't like us eating animals, then go eat your tofu and shut up! I'm sick and tired of you mouth breathing droolers tell us how to live. Take a walk, turkey.

The living animals die a slow and very painful death while being baked alive. There is no excuse for this kind of cruelty.

We did this last night as a family and it was so delicious and fun! We were feeding 6 people, and had less food to cook than the recipe calls for. We used 6 1 1/4 pound lobsters, 6 pounds little neck clams, 3 pounds red potatoes, 8 pieces fresh corn on the cob and a bottle of chardonnay. We used a #2 tub. Because of the post by se from Brookin, ME below about the galvanized tub concerns, we did season our tub earlier in the week by filling it with water and letting it boil for several hours. We felt that would take care of any chemical issues. Seaweed is not available to us in that quantity in the midwest, so we used corn stalk leaves at the suggestion of a Seaweed expert in Maine. They worked perfectly. We followed the rest of the recipe exactly, pulling the tub at 35 minutes and letting it rest for 5 minutes. In the meantime, we grilled andouille sausages and I also served eight hard boiled eggs (traditional east coast addition. We also made the bread that Michael did with the Old Bay butter. This was a family project, my husband, his best friend, and our three sons (17, 16,10. Everyone helped out and it was one of the most satisfying things we have ever done as a family. Fun, delicious...thank you Michael for doing a show about the great Lobster Bake!

Looking on some online sources I see information that cooking in galvanized tubs can put off harmful chemicals in the smoke and possibly affecting the food depending on how things are set up, as the flame heats the tub, some sources say not to cook in any galvanized pot.
Is anyone else concerned about this?

I made this entire menu and followed everything to the letter. It came out PERFECT. I dazzled everyone in attendance including a James Beard award winner!
The hardest part was gathering everything. It is a party we plan to throw every year!
Thank you Micheal!

Lobster cost $21.00 dollars for a small tail here. We use shrimp but we do a boil with Old Bay and Blue crab I would love to do the bake but no sea weed around either. We start with seasoned water then add red potatoes,corn cut in 3 or 4 sections and add the shrimp and crabs last. I to would like to know the timing for shrimp on a bake. Would wet sacks or cloths work istead of the seaweed? How hot it gets is how much Old Bay one uses in the water.
