I received 2 frozen lobster tails awhile back as a gift. I had no idea how to prepare them and decided to keep them in my freezer for a special occasion...this is all before I learn there are in fact an expiration dates on frozen food (someone tell my mother who freezes EVERYTHING, I don't have the guts).
The rule I have heard the most is that frozen food should be used within a year because of freezer burn and how the flavors change over time. And upon light research I found a chart (I LOVE CHARTS!!!) at: //whatscookingamerica.net/Information/FreezerChart.htm Print this out and put it on your fridge! I love how the chart even explains what can happen to the food by freezing it too long. It also goes into more detail discussing dry goods as well. A great resource to have!
Needless to say, my lobster didn't turn out the way I had hoped. It was rubbery and inedible...and I have a feeling it was partially that way before my disastrous experiment taking 2 lobster tails + 1 George Foreman grill= Ew!...next time I'm going to use Nils Hoyum's site (click title of article to view Nils' site) when preparing my lobster.
Enjoy!
