Preparation

1. Place the butter in the Anyday dish and soften in the microwave until the butter has the texture of soft cream cheese, about 15-30 seconds.
2. Add the garlic powder, lemon zest and salt into the butter and mix until well incorporated. Transfer the butter to a side dish and set aside at room temperature. 
3. Cut the lobster tails in half lengthwise by laying the lobster with the belly side up and firmly cutting through the shell with a sharp knife. 
4. Evenly spread the garlic butter onto each cut side of the lobster and place tails in the Anyday dish, butter side up. Cover with lid (knob lifted).
5. Cook in the microwave at Power Level 5

   Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels.

   Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.

   For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.

   Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:

   PL 10 = 100% = High (default)

   PL 9 = 90% = High

   PL 8 = 80% = Med-High

   PL 7 = 70% = Med-High

   PL 6 = 60% = Medium

   PL 5 = 50% = Medium

   PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low

   PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low

   PL 2 = 20% = Low

   PL 1 = 10% = Low

   You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
   

   for 4-5 minutes, or until the flesh of the lobster turns opaque and the butter is fully melted. Make sure not to overcook it!
6. When the lobster is finished cooking, spoon some of the juices over the meat and season to taste with fresh lemon juice, hot sauce, chopped parsley, or chives.
