You cook the lobster in it and it's fantastic.
Now what I do is sous vide the lobster in the beurre bonté -- about 125 degrees for an hour. I put a little taragon and granulated garlic in there with a little big of oregano. Then after the hour, you quench it in an ice bath to stop the cook.
Let it chill then cook it on a grill until it gets warm on the inside (it's already cooked so just cook it to warmth; 120 is fine). Its tender, it stays juicy, it's extremely flavorful.
I was never a huge lobster fan until I stumbled onto that technique and it's just fantastic. Best lobster you'll ever have.

Sounds awesome. Will try the next time I get some tails. Thx.
