    Chef I have to applaud you firstly for being brave enough to despatch that Lobster "live on air" without cutting away, and secondly for doing it the RIGHT, most humane way. I've seen Lobsters and Crabs just get thrown into the pot and it isn't pretty. I've seen it done without freezing them first and yeah, not nice. You're so right about this recipe bringing us back to the 70's. Great job!

      When I was a kid some 70 years ago, we just threw the crabs we caught into boiling water. Didn't know there was any other way. Now I know, in case I cook a crab or lobster again, which I rather doubt. Thanks for the lesson.

      Quick question tho: do u think marine predators put crabs or lobaters in the freezer before they get killed?
      Also, death is part of life. If you can't handle when a lobster dies, how will you handle your own, when the time comes?
      That said, it is always good to do things the professional way and the chef gave us the good instructions.

    I love when you do "involved recipes," Chef! Of course, I also love when you do simple recipes as well (and understand that it's more likely that people will make a simple recipe than an involved one). But showing us how to make something a bit more involved every once in a while (in case we want to really challenge ourselves) is awesome and I appreciate that you do both.

      Offensive comment! How dare you assume we all identify as "people"? This is highly offensive to our trans-species friends! Even right next door to us, our neighbor identifies as a South African dung beetle. We are open-minded, tolerant, and accommodating, so we gift him fresh cow droppings during holidays and celebrations. His pronouns are hard to pronounce though. But we do our best. Everyone should think and behave exactly as we do, or....they are EVIL! Pure unadulterated evil! And must be denied freedom of speech! At least until they conform. Me personally, I'm triple-trans, fyi. I am trans-gender, trans-race, and trans-age. I identify as an elderly Asian man with a limp, though I was biologically a 16 year black old girl until I saw the light. And you WILL address me as such, or face consequences! Peace and Happy New Year to you all!

    I bought a homard at the market in Mulhouse a few years ago for a christmas dinner. When my daughter came into the kitchen an saw the animal she told me that her only christmas wish was to led the homard alive. We then had pasta for dinner with a simple sugo. And we brought the homard back to where it was coming from. It was written on the box. We also got instructuons from the vet on how to keep the animal moist and remove the rubber band and after securing its not neophyte. It was an unplanned but exciting christmas break in the Bretagne and I will never forget the cold water of the Atlantic Ocean in late December. I have never had lobster ever since.

    You are the GOAT! Awesome to see you my friend !! I am stoked to find you on UA-cam. After being a customer of your Cooking Classes in Ft. Lauderdale for years. I have taken cooking class 101, 201 and countless individual hands on Saturday specialty classes like Key lime pie, Chocolate meringue, Cutlery, and more. I have been to numerous Thanksgiving dinner classes, Wine tastings, as well as dozens of regular dinner classes. You have never failed to deliver a wonder experience and I want to thank you for your passion and professionalism is unmatched. I love the UA-cam format and only wish it did your personality and humor justice, bringing a group of 30 people to a roar of laughter time and time again, even if we knew it was coming.. that takes huge talent and personality! I was a total beginner without a clue on where to start a meal, your teaching has transformed my inability to a very good cook who often hears something like; "Wow, that is the best Cordon Bleu I have ever had", or "dang, are you a chef?", I say nope, I am a pretty good hand in the kitchen now but it all started right here; and I show them the most valuable single product (among hundreds of products) I purchased from you The Signed Cook Book; COOKING 101 with 5 videos. It is seriously the most bang for the buck, even after years and years I still love to review and use, especially if I am doing a big meal like Thanksgiving; and there are several family members around that want to help. I say ok, you are making the Cranberry Sauce, go watch this video and here is the ingredients. They love having the visual aid and step by step instructions. Well, its Holiday time again and I just made 2 Bacon Wrapped Meat loafs, hotel size half pans, 8 lbs each to feed a dinner party of 15 people. Every single person loved it and wanted 2nds, and then to take some home! Really? Yes Happy Holidays to ALL !!

      @@ChefJeanPierre No, thank you Chef, from the bottom of my heart. I cook for my family every night, and I am very careful to feed them homemade food stuffs that is cooked with care and love, to keep them healthy and strong, and so every night they have a dinner that makes them feel warm and full with love. You have made that so much easier and better. It's not easy for me to run a large company, then shop, then cook, thankfully my wife cleans the kitchen for me, but I love to cook for them, it brings me joy... Aloha Chef, a hui hou.

    Chef, could you do an episode on cleaning, sanitizing and caring for your wood cutting board? Also, I think it would be super helpful to see your system on cleaning and sanitizing while you are cooking. I know you use towels in a bleach/water solution, but would love to see your system on how to prepare that solution and how you are cleaning your utensil's and hands without cross contaminating while prepping a meal. Thank you for all you do Chef!

    Chef this is amazing. Looks so yummy and the best part is that you make it look so simple and easy. I never bought a lobster only becoz I did not know how to cook it. Now with you recipe I am going to try it out. Thank you once again for sharing it.

  • @vladrishmirovszedankloevic6500

    not a particularly simple recipe, but still very much appreciated. people might not cook it, but the pieces of knowledge is valuable.
    chef, I personally don't mind watching a two hour long video where you tell your past stories while you're waiting for the cooking process.
    your stories are often very educative, and the way you convey them is very entertaining as well.
    and please explain more about why certain things need to be done in the cooking process.
    we enjoy your videos! we love you, chef JP!

    I have been cooking lobster for nearly 60 years. No need to boil a full pot of water to cook a lobster. One inch of salted water will do and the lobster will be steamed. This is how most people do it here in SW Nova Scotia. Besides that, you remove the rubber bands because they will impart a rubber taste to the meat. (you wouldn't cook broccoli with a rubber band, would you?)

    So Lobster Thermidor is nothing more than lobster in a Bechamel sauce put into shells. Easy one. The technical difficulty is cooking it exactly right, and minimally. The cognac, lemon juice, and chili powder in the sauce makes all the difference. Maybe nutmeg substitute in lieu of cognac? The cognac adds a fine flavor though. That is a beautiful dish with a lively presentation. Brilliant use of carrot tops! Merci, Chef JP!

    How could anything so grotesque looking taste soooo good? Years ago I always ate lobster stuffed and baked until I found heaven in steamed lobster, not dried out and yielding more stuffing than meat. And the clarified butter was the icing on the cake! Who invented this recipe? I also prepare it your way, got it from the Le Cordon Cooking School book. Very humane.

  • @iamkarlwithak

    Philippines 1975 while on RR from Vietnam, there was a wonderful restaurant that specialized in lobster Thermidor. To die for. They would bring out the fresh lobster and you would choose the size. I always chose the big one. I think it was $9 plus a brandy at the end. Amazing. Thanks for the memories chef. 🙏💪🌏🌎🌍❤️🇺🇸🖖

    It's great to see how a professional prepares it. As always, Chef JP makes an intimidating recipe approachable for us home cooks. Though I'm not sure I could kill a lobster, especially after following Leon's story for a year!

    Chef, your cooking videos were a saving grace during the height of the plandemic lockdowns! You gave me something to look forward to each week, something to do, enabling me to feed family, friends, and co-workers in style! Now, I'm hooked!
    Even at 67 years of age, I've learned so many new techniques for doing basic things....things that have taken my cooking skills to a whole new level! Everyone thinks I'm a genius in the kitchen -- I tell them they can be, too, if they will start watching your channel.
    To date, the beef stew has been the hands down winner and most requested dish from my now expanded repertoire (although my grandson has pleaded that I make no changes to my chicken and dumplings, his personal favorite - LOL!). Have a blessed day!

    I watched a documentary on the plane crash where the survivors turned cannibal. They described the taste as sweet. So the first time I tasted lobster, it was kinda sweet and I couldn't eat anymore.
    I hope this doesn't ruin it for everyone that reads this.
    Congratulations on another fantastic show Chef Jean Pierre!
