Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover burger patties and lobster separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the burger patty in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Gently warm the lobster in a small pan with a little butter to prevent it from drying out. Assemble the burger fresh with toasted buns for the best flavor and texture.
