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.

You guys are missing my point. I don't care about how the lobster feels, sorry to sound mean. My point was how do they think they know how the lobster feels if they freeze it. Maybe because it is dead then, if that's how, then DUH. I wonder when people talk about things like they know for sure about something that can't be tested, I wonder how they think they know this.

The lobster is alseep for good. And it will not wake up when it hits the boiling water.

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.

This is the most humane way to kill a lobster:

Freezing:

So freeze and split, or they do scream in boiling water.

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...

I was a meat cutter and you have to cook the lobster right away. It tastes rancid if you don't.

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.

Just drop it in the water, it is not like they scream or anything.
