ANOTHER FIRST, SOUS VIDE LOBSTER TAIL

[SmokinAl]

Well I'm having some fun with this new sous vide machine.

And I had some lobster tails in the freezer, so why not try them sous vide style.

They were about 10 oz each.

Took the meat out of the tail and dried it off.

Into the spa. This is a quick one, just about 30 minutes at 132 degrees.

It turned out very good, tender & juicy.

Didn't even need to dip it in melted butter.

Hope some of you get one of these sous vide things tomorrow morning under the tree!

Next up steak!

Merry Christmas to all of my SMF friends!

Looks great, Al!
The Mrs has a request in for Salmon, so that will be first, but Lobster is definitely on the short list.
What temperature did you use and how long?

Not sure how I missed this Al.. I'm really late here, but doing SV lobster tails for the first time at the Mrs request... Done a search & this thread was the first to pop up! I appreciate the detailed post, I'll be following this! Wishing Judy a Happy Mom's Day!
