Steam lobster in the microwave just like David Chang does for fine-dining quality results. Adjust the power level and you get tender, sweet lobster that's perfect for salads or upgrading your mac and cheese. Make a fancy meal with zero fuss, all using your microwave.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

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.
- When the lobster is finished cooking, allow to cool slightly. Crack the shells with a shell cracker, then spoon some of the juices over the meat and season to taste with fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, or your favorite toppings.
Suggestions
- Add Worcestershire sauce when cooking the lobster for deeper flavor.
- For an easy lobster roll, serve cooked lobster pieces inside a warm buttered bun.
Recipe Notes
- We used raw lobster tails, but you can use frozen as well. If using frozen add 1-3 more minutes while cooking.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
