Best way to reheat lobster?
We bought steamed whole lobsters yesterday and they have been in the fridge overnight. We'd like to eat them hot with butter tonight, what is the best way to reheat the lobsters?

Beurre monté -- the term may sound complicated but it's simply emulsified butter and its preparation is quick and easy. Thick and creamy rather than oily, it's the perfect compliment for lobster (and Brussels sprouts for that matter).
Boil a little water in the bottom of a saucepan, reduce the heat to low and begin whisking in unsalted butter, a little bit at a time. Once you have an emulsion started, continue adding butter until you have enough to almost cover your lobster meat. Throw in the lobster and let it warm though for five minutes or so. (The dish will hold over low heat while you coordinate the rest of the meal.)
