<human>:  What is the best way to open a lobster?
<bot>: The best way to open a lobster is by splitting it in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Be sure to cut through the head, body and tail. Have a durable pair of kitchen shears on hand in case there are any unbreakable parts. Additionally, make sure you have a paper towel handy to clean up any messes that may result from cracking the shell.
