It is usually in the upper part of the refrigerator, sometimes near the back, close to the light bulb. The dial often looks like the kind of burner control knob you might see on a stove. Dials have either a set of numbers or notches representing the temperature settings. The dial itself may have an arrow on it that you point to the numbers to change the temperature. The dial inside your refrigerator may be very different than the one inside your neighbor's refrigerator. Although they look different from model to model, each dial works the same way. On most dials, the higher number or setting makes the refrigerator colder. If your refrigerator has a range of 1 to 5, turn the dial toward 5 to get a good chill going or turn it toward 1 if you need to warm things up a bit. If your dial has notches on it, turn the dial clockwise to cool things down.  The best setting is usually in the middle of the dial. If your dial ranges from 1 to 5, try turning it to 3. If it’s from 1 to 9, set it around 4. Your refrigerator may also have some handy “warmer” and “cooler” stickers on it showing you which way to turn the dial to adjust the temperature. You’re aiming for a temperature around 37 °F (3 °C). Stick a thermometer on the center shelf and wait at least 5 hours for the new setting to take effect. Then, see if the temperature is to your liking. Keep using the dial to bring the refrigerator's temperature up to a healthy range.  You may need to repeat the process a few times to find the perfect setting. Make gradual adjustments, letting the refrigerator rest for 5 hours or more each time. Once you find temperature setting you like, consider marking a line on the dial so you can easily reset it if it gets bumped out of position.

Summary: Locate the dial inside the refrigerator. Turn the dial up to cool down the refrigerator. Take the temperature and adjust the setting until it’s right.


This will leave the tail meat exposed at the top and will be easier to eat. Many restaurants often completely cut the lobster tail in half and place the halves side by side. Restaurants often choose this presentation to make it seem like you are getting more lobster. It is called "butterflying" because the two halves roughly resemble the symmetry of a butterfly. You may need these tools to cut up the meat or to break open the lobster tail's outer shell. Some people like to eat lobster tail with their hands. In this case, obviously, no fork or knife is needed. Melt several sticks of butter into a saucepan. The clearer liquid that rises to the top is the clarified butter. Slowly drain off the clarified butter into a small bowl that your guests can use to dip lobster pieces in. You can also buy pre-clarified butter at the store, which will last roughly a month in your refrigerator. Lobster is a light meat, so you should choose a wine that does not have a powerful flavor. The robust flavor and tannins in red wine won’t pair well with the iodine and saltiness of the lobster. Many consider surf-and-turf (lobster-and-steak) to be a perfect pairing.

Summary: Place your lobster tail shell side down on a plate. Butterfly your lobster tail. Have a fork and knife ready. Serve with clarified butter. Pair with a nice white wine. As an alternative, serve your lobster tails with a side of steak.


Remember that you can select more than one style for your dining room walls. Some popular styles or themes include:  Formal and elegant Casual and comfortable Traditional Rustic Eclectic Country Contemporary or modern Look at the room to see if any feature grabs your attention when you walk in. Use that focal point as a starting point for hanging decorations or deciding the mood for the room. For example, if you have a large bay window or fireplace, decide if you want the room to be light and airy or dark and rustic.  If you don't have a large focal point, keep in mind that items can also be the main attraction in the room. You might have family china that you'd like to arrange on the walls or a beautiful painting that could fill a wall. Alternatively, you create an accent wall with wallpaper or a bold paint color. Some people only use their dining rooms for formal get togethers while others eat in them every day. Think about how often you plan on using the room and what kind of atmosphere you want it to be.  For example, if you frequently host small gatherings, you may want to create a cozy, warm dining room. You could hang family photos and/or souvenirs from your travels on the walls. Choose durable and/or multifunctional pieces if you use the room as a workspace or if children use the room.

Summary: Consider what style you want. Choose a focal point for the walls. Decide how you're going to use the room.
