Plunge the lobsters , head first , into a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water ( Craig Claiborne )
把龙虾头朝下扔进一大锅滚烫的盐水中（克雷格克莱本）
Claiborne believed a cast-iron skillet to be essential to the dish ’ s success , probably in part for nostalgic reasons and absolutely because cast iron conducts heat so evenly and well .
You could give your smothered chicken some European flair with mushrooms and small onions in the gravy , as Claiborne did in his experiments with Pierre Franey , then his kitchen co-pilot .
Now , a technique straight out of Claiborne ’ s mother ’ s playbook : Put an inverted plate on top of the chicken and weight it down with a full can of tomatoes or beans , a foil-wrapped brick or a small dumbbell & something heavy enough to press the skin of the chicken into the heated surface .
Originially known as basic educational opportunity grants , Congress renamed them Pell grants in 1980 , to honor the efforts of Claiborne Pell in creating them .
