Cool high pressure machine can actually process LIVE lobsters completely removing their shell.

so uh, what happened to your account?

 

[kamikaze27]

what did it do, vaporize the shell?

From the article... It is unclear how long the poor lobsters live while the machine is running but they "guess" it is less than a minute.

 

[eldorado99]

that'd be like vapourizing the bones from inside of your body... yummy!

i love lobster and will cook and kill my own, but something is mildly disturbing about that pic.

 

[Journer]

[d33pt]

[xSkyDrAx]

For some reason when I read the title of this thread , the scene of Louis from Family Guy asking "Who wants Chowder", followed by Chris, Bryan, Peter, and stewie puking, played in my head.

i remember my dad used to get lobster a few times a year when i was a kid. hed bring home a couple in the back up his pickup, rinse em off, and pitch em into a huge pot of boiling water

I've never had lobster, and I've lived in Maine 20 years of my life.

 

[So]

That's really cool. I mean, wow...

Technology in action, for you!

 

[Rage187]

yum, just tell me where they serve this and I'm there.

 

[Mr Pickles]

More disturbing than the lobster is the fact that this dude has a website about "the secret world of lobsters". More disturbing then that - his website is popular enough for ATOT members to find...

The front claws emanating from the tail is weird-O-rama.

It's not a high pressure machine, they use magnets, that stick to lobsters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hzBh0J1YFU

It doesn't vaporize the shell. looks like the high pressure causes the soft flesh inside the shell to compress tearing away any connecting tissue to the shell. Then after they come out, they crack them open and the meat will just slide right out.

so, whole foods won't sell live lobsters because one of their *customers* might boil it rather than knifing it to kill it, but it will sell lobsters that have been compressed to 3x the pressure at the deepest part of the ocean, which takes a while to ramp up and is uncertain how long it takes to kill a lobster.

what a load of crap.

i'm going to go complain.

Ok, let's see it with a cow now!
