How much pain do they feel? http://www.atlanticatch.ca/cook-lobster/im-supposed-to-cook-lobster-at-work-but-they-arrive-alive-and-then-are-killed-how-much-pain-do-they-feel http://www.atlanticatch.ca/cook-lobster/im-supposed-to-cook-lobster-at-work-but-they-arrive-alive-and-then-are-killed-how-much-pain-do-they-feel#comments Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:12:59 +0000 admin http://www.atlanticatch.ca/cook-lobster/im-supposed-to-cook-lobster-at-work-but-they-arrive-alive-and-then-are-killed-how-much-pain-do-they-feel It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes they are waiting some time and I just feel it is needlessly cruel. Anyone who cooks lobster, can you tell me how much pain the procedures involve for the creature? This is a serious question.

They don’t feel pain. The humane way to do it is put the live lobster in cool water, then turn the burner on and the water gradually warms up. Lobsters are cold water fish, warm water puts them to sleep. So they’ll slowly go to sleep and basically die in their sleep. When people talk about the lobsters ’screaming’, that’s just the steam escaping from the shell. Lobsters have no vocal cords.

They are about 1lb. chick lobsters

EDIT: tie the live lobster with a string
(Strings used for tying foods and not just any kind of string)
make sure the lobster’s hand is up and tie the whole lobster and make sure it’s straight.
Boil until red and then crack open the shell and fry it with butter

If it is pink/red it is already cooked, other wise it just needs to be steamed, or briefly boiled until it is a nice pink colour.
I find it faster to cut it in half, and lightly salt it, but you don’t need to..

Is there any way to kill a lobster more humanely?

Place the lobster in the pot and cover with cool water and half a bottle of white wine. Put the pot on the stove on medium heat and slowly bring to the boil. The lobster will be lulled off to sleep by the wine and slowly warming water. There is no thrashing about, the lobster doesn’t need to be tied up, nor does the lobster try to get out of the pot. All is quiet and the lobster appears to just go to sleep.

The water from cooking your lobster should not be wasted, it makes a wonderful base for lobster bisque.

So I did re-search and even watched a youtube video.

So here is the steps I have and tell me if their correct.
1) adding onions, herbs, peppers, & other good stuff to the boiling pot.
2) then you dunk the Lobster in like Lebron James and put on the lid.
3) have it in there for 8-10 minutes until the shell is bright red

…cooking time depends on size.

You forgot: Garlic, butter, lemon for dipping.

You also forgot to invite me !

Enjoy.

Steamed….. LARGE pot or roasting pan with a lid. Put an inch or two of water in the bottom I also put a rack of some sort in like a cookie rack to raise the lobster off the bottom a bit. If the lobster have rubber bands on their claws, take them off. Lobster should be VERY active, btw. Keep them very cold until you cook them. Watch the claws!!!! Grab them from the back of the body shell (they can’t bite you there – claws can’t reach that far back). Bring the water to a brisk boil. Plunk them in the pot and cover.
They will move a bit (in resentment, I suspect!!). Thats OK. Keep them covered and at a good boil for 30 minutes approx if the lobsters are in the 1-1/2 pound range.
Enjoy!

How long do i boil for?
What is the procedure?

Cant find anything in my cookbooks.

Thanks folk.
is their any times per Kg or Lb?

I dont want to poison my family!!!

Bring a large pan of salted water to almost a boil, lower the lobsters in and bring to the boil, cook for about ten minutes or until bright red. To serve simply with melted butter for dipping.
Lobsters can sometimes shed a claw in put into boiling water, but they don’t ’scream’ – this is just air being forced out of the shell by the pressure of the water – Bon appetite!
