Keeping a live lobster in your kitchen for too long

So you get home with your lobster and it begins to frighten you. Instead of making it for dinner tonight, you reason, why not make it tomorrow? That may appear to be a good idea, but it is not something you want to do. According to Food Fire Knives, this is a common mistake people make when preparing lobster. They believe they can buy a lobster a few days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until they are ready to cook it.

However, keeping a lobster in your fridge for that long is not a good idea. There's no reason to waste time if you cook it right away when you get home. However, you may need to purchase it ahead of time. In that case, you won't want to keep it in the fridge for more than a day at most. After all, you don't want to miss out on any of the freshness. Start cooking immediately, and the end result will be delicious.
