When cooking a lobster?

How do they know that putting a lobster in the freezer will put it to sleep, therefor the lobster isn't ';with us'; when it is dropped into the hot pot.





Watching take home chef, just curious.When cooking a lobster?
The lobster is alseep for good. And it will not wake up when it hits the boiling water.When cooking a lobster?
you must be refering to cooking a fresh live maine lobster...that you drop it in the boiling water head first and its alive......lobster tails are also dead as well as frozen shrimp and frozen fish...
This is the most humane way to kill a lobster:

So freeze and split, or they do scream in boiling water.
I have heard of that but I don't know of anyone who has tried it although it seems to makes a lot of sense. So if you froze it to death it still died but maybe freezing to death is a better way to go. It certainly seems like it would be.
Dont freeze, hurts the meat.





Toss it in your fridge over night and it should be dead or near enough.





I know it sounds gross but lobsters are about as smart as roaches...So dont put too much human emotion into the 'bug', they get torn to shreds in the wild all the time....If its alive and kicking, count down three seconds after the head first plunge into the roiling-boil and they are already in lobster heaven.
they asked it
I was a meat cutter and you have to cook the lobster right away. It tastes rancid if you don't.
Just drop it in the water, it is not like they scream or anything.
