In reply to Pamela Payne. In our instructions for grilling whole lobsters, we suggest numbing the lobster in the freezer before prep. Then cutting the underside of the lobster along the center line from the head to the tail. Also what instructions are you suggesting for 'humanely' cooking crabs? There’s no real consensus on the best method of killing and cooking lobsters. And since lobsters do not have a central nervous system, there is still a debate of whether they feel pain. If they do or do not we always try to minimize any pain.

I simply cannot accept the concept of boiling a live creature to death. If crabs can be humanely killed before cooking, then why can’t you do the same with lobsters?? I read your instructions for humanely cooking lobsters but most of your instructions and the comments here still talk about boiling or grilling live lobsters. Cruel and shameful.

In reply to Bob Boomer. Yes, we inludee poaching lobster in our instructions. This cooking method is especially handy when you cannot cook your lobsters the day you receive them.

Cooking many lobsters in batches….How about par boiling 4-5 minutes, pull them out, ice them. And then as you need them , drop them in boiling water for 2 minutes, pull them out, drain them, pop them on a plate? would this work? It may screw up the timing, and 4 minutes may not kill the lobster…..but this is how poached eggs are done for a crowd.

In reply to Lindsay Roth. Yes, you sure can store live lobster for a day before cooking. First make sure you buy hearty, strong lobsters. Here is our guide for storing live lobsters.

We are having a lobster thanksgiving. However, we need to purchase the lobsters today to be cooked tomorrow. What is the best way to keep them before we cook them tomorrow. Is this even possible. Thank you.

In reply to Len Babin. Yes, chilled lobster meat is excellent, especially dipping in warm butter or a side of mayo. How do you serve it cold? Cooked lobster is not so great if it stored for more than 2-3 days. as it starts to breakdown.

I’m from Nova Scotia and have eaten lobster all my life but never hot or warm. My family’s way of eating them has always been out of the fridge the day after they were cooked. We eat them with potato salad and white wine. Whenever I go to a restaurant and have them served hot, the experience is lessened for me.

Terry Kittmer — how long ate they blanched and what temp for broiling? Can lobsters just be broiled without blanching?
