There are a few ways, you can deep freeze the Lobster, this puts the Lobster to sleep and shuts down its systems so when you 'kill' it will not feel a thing or you can place the Lobster in a large pot of cold water then bring the water to the boil, this puts the Lobster to sleep and a painless death follows. Some drop the Lobster into rapidly boiling water the Lobster dies instantly.
put them in a pot of boiling water and eat 'em.
No, there is no difference in the process used. However, it isn't advisable to cook dead lobster unless you killed it immediately before putting it in the pot. Whole lobster spoil quickly which is why they are stored alive before cooking. As for whether it's humane to put a lobster in boiling water, their death is just a quick as any other form of death so I believe it's as humane as you will get short of letting the lobster live.
The boiling point of pure water is lower than the boiling point of salt water.
You can boil the lobster in 2 ways. 1. if you don't want it to turn out too soft you would boil the water first then put in the lobster. That allows the lobster to cook quicker and it turns out slightly crunchy. 2. If you want the lobster to turn out soft and tender you have to put the lobster ion with the water and boil both at the same time. That makes the lobster moist from the water and then it cooks well, however it takes a bit longer than the other way because there is the process of the water boiling and then the lobster has to have time to cook.
crayfish is the name of the fresh water lobster. In a sense yes a lobster could be considered an ocean crayfish. They are found in bodies of water that do not freeze to the bottom; they are also mostly found in brooks and streams where there is fresh water running, and which have shelter against predators.
