Do you need to parboil lobster tails before you grill them?

Parboiling lobster before grilling is strongly recommended. Immerse the lobster in boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the boiling water and immediately transfer to cold water. After this step, you can place the lobster in the refrigerator for grilling later. If you want to grill immediately:

  • Drain the lobster on a paper towel.
  • It's easier if you cut with the legs side up. Slice the lobster down the middle with a sharp knife. Remove the black vein from the tail, the tomalley from the body, and the sand sac, which is located near the head.
  • Baste the lobster with oil or melted butter.
  • Grill the lobster flesh side down for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the flesh begins to look opaque.
  • Turn the lobster and baste with more oil or butter.
  • Cook for 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until the lobster is cooked through.

I would like to know how to make carob chocolate. I have a son that is allergic to milk products.?

First of all, you have to buy the carob; it comes in powder or chips I believe. I used to bake with carob when my daughter was young but that was so many years ago. I did a quick web search for recipes, there are plenty but read them through because most call for butter. Look for vegetarian or vegan recipes, they should be dairy free. I remember that I had to experiment but many carob treats are delicious. Carob has it's own unique flavor. There should be recipes on the packages, but again, look out for other diary ingredients.

Will bacon cook with scrambled egg?

yes and no. It takes bacon a lot longer to cook, so you would need to add the eggs to the pan when your bacon is almost done & your pan is large enough, but your eggs may pick up a lot of extra grease and browning, which is not attractive. It is usually better to cook the bacon, pour out the excess grease & then you can do your eggs in the same pan. If you are talking about adding bacon pieces to cook with scrambled eggs, that will not work as the bacon needs so much longer to cook. You can add crumbled COOKED bacon to scrambled eggs though.

How do you prepare legumes?

Legumes are seeds. As such, they have evolved protection mechanisms to keep them safe until conditions are desirable for germination. Seeds are difficult to digest so that they pass through an animal's digestive system intact, and are dropped away from the competition of the parent plant in a nice pile of fertilizer. The properties that render seeds difficult to digest and allow them to lay dormant until conditions are optimal for sprouting are called anti-nutrients. Anti-nutrients are so named because they may deplete more nutrition than they provide. During digestion, our own enzymes work to disassemble food into usable molecules. This begins in the mouth with the enzymes in saliva, and continues throughout the entire digestive tract. Anti-nutrients work by inhibiting our digestive enzymes and preventing them from breaking down food, interfering with digestion. In addition, anti-nutrients bind to minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium and prevent our bodies from using them. People who eat a lot of foods that are high in anti-nutrients can suffer from mineral deficiencies and poor bone density. Anti-nutrients include phytic acid , tannins, starches, and lectins, which can irritate the stomach and interfere with digestion. Soaking seeds initiates germination. The sprouting process disables anti-nutrients and increases enzyme. The seeds become digestible and their nutrients become available to our bodies. To soak whole legumes, cover them with enough water to allow them to swell. Allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 7, but ideally 12-24, hours. Drain and then cook.

How do you clean and cup up eggplant?

To clean an eggplant, just place the whole thing under running water and use your hands to rub off any dirt. Cut off the stem end and just a bit of the bottom, where the "dimple" is, off. At this point, you can peel the eggplant or leave the skin on. Stand the eggplant up on end and carefully slice it from top to bottom. Stack the slices on top of each other and slice the whole stack several times top to bottom, then turn the stack and slice horizontally. The more cuts you make, the smaller your pieces of eggplant will be.
