Fill a large pot with warm water. Attach the sous vide cooker to the pot; set the temperature to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

Step 4

Place 1 lemon slice in the bottom of a resealable plastic bag. Place lobster tail meat over lemon and spread with 1 teaspoon butter. Season with a pinch of parsley and garlic. Repeat with remaining lobster tail, lemon, butter, parsley, and garlic using a second resealable plastic bag.
