Part 7/9:
Cooking lobster requires precision and timing. Overcooking can render its tender meat rubbery. Chefs like Rick execute the cooking process with care, noting the color transformation from the bluish tones of live lobster to the classic pink-red hue once cooked. Cooling the lobster promptly is vital to preserve its delicate texture, highlighting the thoughtful processes involved in its preparation.
Rick's own culinary approach reinvents the classic Cornish dish, pairing the lobster with an Asian-inspired butter that features crispy chili oil and spring onions—a testament to modern culinary innovation while respecting traditional flavors.
