To cook a lobster?!
Answers: Just worked my first day as a cooked assistant and I got to cook a lobster. Holy sh*t! You gotta put that thing in boiling water while alive!!! They said it would die instantly if you put it in head first but let me tell you it definently didn't. I feel horrible...im not a vegetarian or anything but dang thats a rough way to die! Agree?
For sure!
But better than getting cooked in a microwave?
What is a "cooked assistant" job? I doubt very seriously that any method of killing any animal for our consumption is not a rough way to die. But we cannot eat the critters alive so there are no other choices except to be a vegan! Good luck on your new career!
Some people say it should be put in the freezer first for 20 minutes where it will 'go to sleep' others (chefs) will put a knife through its head really quickly, others put it in fresh water where it will drown...who knows which is best?!
Ah well. I'm sure you'll quickly forget. Majority of people will "ohmygod that's so meeeeean" things but it doesn't change their actions or choices.
you know i dont get why people even eat lobster. they are the roach of the sea, they live in their own wastes. if i were you. id steal the lobster from your new job and set them freee. no i know you cant do that..i guess there just isnt anything you can really do, unless the whole world agrees to stop eating living things. poor lobsters.
Though it's a little more hands-on than boiling, here's the best way to make sure a lobster feels as little pain as possible: put the lobster belly-up on a cutting board, then insert a sharp, heavy knife into its midsection, between the legs. Immediately push down on the knife to split the lobster's head in half, then cook as planned.
The tip of putting them in the freezer for 20 minutes was a good one if that bothers you. Personally, I love lobster and cook them all the time..........And NO, they don't live in their own waste.
Vegans kill as many animals as meat eaters by the way.
To grow vegetables, a lot of the habitat of animals has to be taken away.............What used to be their home is now plowed under to plant broccoli.......Millions of acres.
Meat eaters don't help but neither do the vegans.
I've done it many times and they die instantly. They make a noise as steam escapes through the shell.
That sucks.
