This is a really random question, but ive always wanted to know. When chiefs eat Lobster and they are still alive, to kill them they put them into a pan on water and turn the gas on and to kill them, they die in boiling hot water, but Surely this is such a painfall death to go? they say its not painfall at all? but come on, am i wrong here?

You can do the same thing to frogs, they don't show signs of distress. However put them straight into a pan of boiling water and they will.

I have heard, that you cover them with a tea towel for a while and they go to sleep. Then whip 'em out and dunk 'em in boiling water.

The most humane way is probably to get a knife and sever the spinal cord to "kill instantly", but you would have to get it right first time.

These are the reasons why I have NEVER tried lobster.

Meh.. it's a really cruel way of doing it imo. But fish are seen as a "lower lifeform", it seems.

If a restaurant was to get a live dog and plunge it in boiling water, im pretty sure they'd get shut down.

I remember watching Julia Child when I was a kid. She said the most humane way to kill a lobster was not boiling (since that takes a while), but splitting the head down the middle. She proceeded to do that and then cut the entire lobster down the middle. It was impressive and it looked instant. Then she baked it which she said would have much more flavor than boiling the meat anyway.

I did see another cooking show later where they dunked the lobsters in a beer barrel first for an afternoon. So they were drunk lobsters by the time it can to kill them and cook them.

Best way is to pleace the Lobster face down and the drive a large sharp meat knife in just behined its head and cut in a downward motion. This kills the lobster instantly and then you throw it straight in the water/cook straight away.

Broiled with Gralic butter is my favorite with Thermador a close second. Yuuuuum!!!
