The tails in the video are 10 oz. each. They are certainly a big portion but remember that you lose some weight to the shell. Each 10 oz. tail yields around 8 oz of meat. Cooking times are listed on the video from 3:58-4:08. Hope yours turn out great!
-stop before u cut to the fand out end of the lobster tail -useing the shell when u bake to piggyback the meat ontop of the shell -u dont want to rip it so hard that the shell just breaks in half -allow it to hold together but gives u enough room to get inbetween the shell and the lobster meat -and pull the meat off the lower membrane which is underneath the belly of the tail and then set it back down -preheat oven 375 -coat lobster tail meat in olive oil -pinch shell under lobster tail meat and piggy back meat so its sitting ontop of the shell -sprinkle a dash of papyrikya before u put in oven -one and a half minute per ounce of lobster, 5mins -broil 3 mins
Never have I felt like instruction worked so well in any cooking video as this one. Absolutely amazing lobster tails were made doing exactly these steps, and I can't thank you enough for the tutorial!
Thank you for going into detail about getting the meat off of the lower membrane. Most people gloss over this part or do not show it at all!! Thanks again!!! Great video!!!
By far the best lobster tail preparation video on UA-cam. The video which initially taught me how to prep lobster tail. I lost this video and have been searching for this for hours
GREAT video I have used this method for years and it works PERFECTLY. The nice thing about this method is that you can cook ANY size tail and they come out GREAT every time.
I am a prolific cook but I DO NOT eat seafood. And yet I'm charged with cooking surf and turf for the family this year. I needed this broken down Barney Style and yall did it! Thank you so much!
Trying it this way tomorrow myself with some rare rib eye steak, butter and garlic fries asparagus, and some good old Molson Canadian (I'm a Canuck lol). Thanks for the review!
Thank You! I am trying Lobster tails for New Years for the first time ever. I've looked at 10 other sites that did not explain it and show it clearly like your video. Thank You Again. I'm going to make one tail for lunch just to make sure it comes out right. Dinner is at 5:00.
Fantastic easy to follow instructions. You were clear and slow enough to be easily followed. And the lobster looked amazing. According to Alexa, I can be there for dinner in 11 hours 14 minutes. Save me a seat. Looks delicious. Thanks for the tutorial.
great video, thanks for the help! Ive had problems in the past with the lobster sticking to the inside of the shell once cooked. This video negated that problem! cheers
This video was so informative and straightforward. I’ve never cooked lobster tails but I feel way more confident now after watching your video. Thank you! ☺️
Beautiful..just Beautiful! This was my first attempt and it came out perfectly. The lobster meat was the star as it wasn't over seasoned as per your instructions. The timing was right on as it couldn't have been sweeter or more tender. Thank you.
my son kept begging to taste lobster but I didn't know how to prepare. On my way home from the market I'm thinking..do I steam it, do I boil it..lol well thank goodness I found this video! I didn't have shears so I used a sharp butcher knife very gently to cut down the middle. Had a little trouble pinching the shell to make the meat sit on top but all said it turned out great! it was a beautiful orange color and the texture of the meat was perfect... Thank you!
This was my first time cooking lobster and it came out amazing! I can’t thank you enough. My New Year’s Eve party was that much better, and we’re going into 2020 with a lot more lobster on the menu for dinner at home!
My first time cooking lobster tail ever - I wanted to make a special meal to celebrate my husband's new job. Followed this recipe and NAILED it! He said it was better than he'd had in any restaurant, ever! Thanks for the recipe :)
I thought I would share that after poking myself with the shell multiple times, I decided to insert the handle end of a small metal spoon between the shell and the lobster and roll it around to loosen the flesh. It really helped! Thanks for the tutorial. My lobster turned out wonderful.
This video still holds true to this day. Instead of paprika though I use some cayenne and seafood seasoning and before broiling I add a bit of green onion on top the butter for that extra look.
I have never made lobster before in my life. I searched the web, saw several different ways of cooking, then found your video. I made these for memorial day and they were a huge hit. Cooked perfectly using your instruction. I also did remove the single dark vein in the tail. Folks, use this technique for PERFECT and I do mean PERFECT lobster tail. My guests were SHOCKED. The shells turn red after baking. THANKS!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad I stumbled across your video because I needed to know if I could submerge the lobsters in water directly without wrapping them up first. Your instructions were clear and simple! I'm so thrilled to know that'll be able to cook my lobsters without ruining them!
Great instruction! I'm a novice at this and I've always boiled my tails but I've always wanted to try the oven. The presentation certainly is much more pleasing, can't wait to try, thanks!
I'm baaaaack and I'm also back to BOOKMARK this page so that I can refer to it again and again until I remember it! LOL Soooooo much better than putting my lobster tail in boiling water...it was DELICIOUS from the oven!!!!! Now, 2" N.Y. strips are going on the grill along with lobster tail and I'll be preparing it per this video! Love it and thanks!!
I followed this making butterflied lobster tails for the first time and it was absolutely amazing... thank you. Thought I used a Butter, garlic, and chive compote.
Fantastic and am anxious to try with Maine lobster tails because coming from New England the flavor just isn’t the same but got these in a pinch as I have in the past and this is by far the best way to cook them! Thanks!
kustom- When you take out the tails to do the broiling step, turn your oven up from 375 to the highest setting it has. Then put the butter on and stick the tails back in for three minutes. Shouldn't be a big deal!-Burhop's
Yep. Good old rare Canadian rib eye steak, good old beer (I'm Canadian so that's a given regardless), and some asparagus fried in butter and garlic. With ye a 100% on that one buddy.
Great Vid! I just got two lobster tails that were on sail for the 4th of July and didn't know what to do with them. Now I know. Very simple and straight forward, thanks!
Thank you for this wonderfully entertaining and very informative video. I just purchased lobster for my girlfriend and really wanted to leave a great impression. This was easy as 1 2 3 and now, I'm a hero! I will visit Burhops when in Chicago! Cheers!
Followed this recipe.. and the lobster tails were just awesome. The variable was coating them with a clarified tarragon and lemon zest butter that I had put together. Of course, the quality of the lobster tails are a major help. Great recipe!!!
I know this is a super old comment, but just curious I have 3 oz Tails as well. How long do you suggest to bake them at? 5 minutes? I have for 3 oz tails to do I never done Lobster before and don't want to overcook
We had our son and granddaughters watch the video with us - and we ended up with perfectly cooked lobster tails using your method and recipe. Thanks so much - it was easy and turned out wonderful and so fun to do with the family!
Well, I tried this method last night with 8 lobster tails. Yes they were the best lobster tails ever and everyone praised how well they turned out - PERFECT! This is how I'm doing them from now on, Thank You
Great instructions! The key was the olive oil coating the meat I believe because it turned out moist and delicious. I made restaurant quality tails. Thank you!
Great, simple video. We followed this the other night and they came out great. The only change is we had to cook a little longer than the suggested 90sec/oz. It also took longer to thaw than suggested. We had them in the refrigerator for 10 hours, then had to put them in the cold water for 15 minutes or so as well. Thanks for putting this together!
Amazing video. I do something similar, but I baste my lobster with melted butter infused with fresh garlic instead of olive oil before baking. Served with a caesar salad, and paired with a pinot grigio wine on the citrus side, it makes for an excellent presentation. That's whats for dinner tomorrow !
I'm going to try this!!! Grew up in Naperville il now I live in Florida I always have issues w/my lobster cooking hope this works. I am totally going to get my bass to Burhop's when I get back to the woods
This is a bulletproof method for great tasting perfectly cooked tails. I used to boil them and the result was always hit and miss. Since doing them this way I would put mine up against any restaurants tails. Yummmm. And thanks for this video!
Nice Vid! I bought some tails on sale at my local grocer, but realized I am clueless as to how to cook'em. If I ever make it to Chicago from Oregon I'll stop by your restaurant. You were extremely helpful on how to prepare the lobster for the oven. Also, I liked how you had a little bit of music, but it was not too loud or distracting ( I watched the vid 3x or I probably wouldn't've noticed the music at all).
For a more complete, larger, and more full looking lobster tail, you can seperate the shell all the way down to the fan of the tail and pull the tail all the way down to that point, giving it the ability to set entirely upon the shell and not appear to be squeezed by the shell.
Well done, very thorough! I just wish I lived closer to Hinsdale! I'm doing this tonight and going to alter your idea with a little smoked paprika just for a kick.
Tonight I cooked my first lobster tail and have to admit i was nervous. Im not much of a cook. I found this video and have to say the lobster tail was delicious. My 87 year old mother also loved it. Thank you for taking the time to create the video.
Thank you for the video. I've avoided making myself lobster because my husband doesnt eat seafood...but I can do this recipe for my self. Great instructions, Thanks

-and pull the meat off the lower membrane which is underneath the
belly of the tail and then set it back down
-preheat oven 375
-coat lobster tail meat in olive oil
-pinch shell under lobster tail meat and piggy back meat so its sitting
ontop of the shell
-sprinkle a dash of papyrikya before u put in oven
-one and a half minute per ounce of lobster, 5mins

@thecanadianvandal
You do have to rub the tail down with oil. The music seems appropriate.
Burhop's Seafood u
This is the best instructions for cooking lobster tails that I have found after many minutes of searching the internet. thanks and merry christmas
Agreed. I'm trying it this way tomorrow with some rib eye, asparagus, and beer.
Never have I felt like instruction worked so well in any cooking video as this one. Absolutely amazing lobster tails were made doing exactly these steps, and I can't thank you enough for the tutorial!
Thank you for going into detail about getting the meat off of the lower membrane. Most people gloss over this part or do not show it at all!! Thanks again!!! Great video!!!
I love how the slow jam music started just before he started rubbing olive oil on the tails 😂😂😂
Omg I think it's on purpose. Even the slow motion lol so funny
This is worthy of an Oscar))))

My wife and I just prepared 2 tails as you video shows for our Surf N Turf and they came out fabulous. Thank you very much for the pointer.
I can appreciate the choice of music when you start rubbing the oil on it 😂
😂😂😂
My thoughts exactly I was like "wait am I still on youtube" 🤔💀
I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
My mind was telling me no... but that lobster was telling me yeeeheheeeeeasssss!!!

Thank You! I am trying Lobster tails for New Years for the first time ever. I've looked at 10 other sites that did not explain it and show it clearly like your video. Thank You Again. I'm going to make one tail for lunch just to make sure it comes out right. Dinner is at 5:00.
I have followed this recipe for the last 5-6 New Year’s Eve dinners. Everyone loves them and my family now expects lobster tails every year!

That look so good
Yep. Good old rare Canadian rib eye steak, good old beer (I'm Canadian so that's a given regardless), and some asparagus fried in butter and garlic. With ye a 100% on that one buddy.

Trying this recipe now! First time ever cooking lobster tails! Wish me luck!
@Seasass Old Bay is a great substitute!
Burhop's Seafood, thank you for the instructions, i literally just used them to cook this lobster tail and it was phenomenal, very much appreciated
Just used this to cook 3oz tails......oh yum! Will use again, thanks for clarity, easy to follow!
I know this is a super old comment, but just curious I have 3 oz Tails as well. How long do you suggest to bake them at? 5 minutes? I have for 3 oz tails to do I never done Lobster before and don't want to overcook

great instructions. followed them and worked out perfectly. simple and to the point.
Thanks for the step by step instructions, I just didn't know what size I had bought, so I just went by sight, they were delicious !!
Great instructions! The key was the olive oil coating the meat I believe because it turned out moist and delicious. I made restaurant quality tails. Thank you!
Thanks for posting this man - My first time cooking lobster tails and it was AMAZING....!
Even the wife was impressed ....!
Now I know what I did wrong. I didn't pull the meat out of the shell. Just cut the lobster shell, and left the meat inside. Duh!
Made this for my 15 & 13 yr old son's and they loved it.
Great, simple video. We followed this the other night and they came out great. The only change is we had to cook a little longer than the suggested 90sec/oz. It also took longer to thaw than suggested. We had them in the refrigerator for 10 hours, then had to put them in the cold water for 15 minutes or so as well. Thanks for putting this together!
Amazing video. I do something similar, but I baste my lobster with melted butter infused with fresh garlic instead of olive oil before baking.
Served with a caesar salad, and paired with a pinot grigio wine on the citrus side, it makes for an excellent presentation.
That's whats for dinner tomorrow !
I’m from Chicago living in LA and making a lobster tail! Burhops! I remember you.
Best instructions and I will try it this weekend. But, did you add any salt? Thank you 🙏🙏
I'm going to try this!!! Grew up in Naperville il now I live in Florida I always have issues w/my lobster cooking hope this works. I am totally going to get my bass to Burhop's when I get back to the woods
followed the ideas - made 4 4.5 oz. Costco Maine tails. cooked 375 took about 22ish minutes. Son and I loved them!
This is a bulletproof method for great tasting perfectly cooked tails. I used to boil them and the result was always hit and miss. Since doing them this way I would put mine up against any restaurants tails. Yummmm. And thanks for this video!
My dad's making me prepare lobster😭😭😭😭😭 I went to a few tutorials, but this was the only one I understood. Thank you!
Made my lobster with this method and they came out beautiful and tasty. Thanks!
Big props for using extra virgin olive oil and not toxic canola, vegetable or soy oil.
You're the best big brother I could ever ask for
Lmaoooo finallly I’ve been looking for these comments lol
Nice Vid! I bought some tails on sale at my local grocer, but realized I am clueless as to how to cook'em. If I ever make it to Chicago from Oregon I'll stop by your restaurant.

Thank you! The only thing reason I didn't make this for years is that I didn't know how to make it. 😊
Very simple instruction . thank you!
Am definitely going to make this recipe from now on. It's very
simple and looks yummy, can't wait to try.
Thanks for uploading!
For a more complete, larger, and more full looking lobster tail, you can seperate the shell all the way down to the fan of the tail and pull the tail all the way down to that point, giving it the ability to set entirely upon the shell and not appear to be squeezed by the shell.

Great video, very informative. Tried it and my lobster came out perfect. I will continue using this method.
Thank you for the video. I've avoided making myself lobster because my husband doesnt eat seafood...but I can do this recipe for my self. Great instructions, Thanks
This was definitely 100% worth the effort, it’s delicious
thanks for posting this makes it a lot clearer on how to do this.Question though, could I use garlic butter instead of olive oil ?
Thanks for your video. I made lobster tails tonight based on your instruction and they turned out perfect! Your video took the intimidation out of it.
I watch this every valentines day
This is a great instructional video. I followed it step by step and they came out great! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing your lobster tail recipe.
