This isn't a baked-on item, but here's a good tip: I've found Soft Scrub to be the only thing that gets tea stains off my mugs and teapots.

You don't have to be the original owner. I had a Dutch oven that was given to me as a gift and I didn't have a receipt, and when I dropped it and broke it, I mailed it to Le Creuset and they gave me a coupon for 75% off a new one (since the damage was technically my fault) - written up here: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/kitchen-supply-stores/le-creuset-great-customer-service-experience-085815

@cpa1: was it a hard or soft shell lobster? From winter to summer lobster shells are hard and have more meat; from summer to winter, lobsters molt, and are soft-shelled. When they're soft-shelled, they get more waterlogged due to the meat filling with water & swelling.

If this happens, after cooking, cut the tip of each claw, hold the lobster up, and let the liquid drain out before serving.

When buying lobster, squeeze their bodies to feel for shell hardness.

When I worked in a restaurant we'd fill up the sink with cold water, add a few tablespoons of salt, and a lot of ice. We'd dunk the greens in that and swirl them around, and then let them drain. The restaurant manager said the salt would kill bugs and the ice would keep the leaves crisp.

I think you can omit the C02 canister step - I think it's just to give it a certain texture, but it does not affect the flavor.
