Crustastun believes crustaceans should be killed humanely before cooking. Current methods of boiling live crabs and lobsters are unacceptable. Previously approved methods of so-called humane methods of killing crabs and lobsters have been shown to be wholly inadequate.
Crustaceans which are boiled alive can take 3 minutes to die and stop feeling pain. During this trauma, both taste and tenderness of the meat are negatively affected.
By stunning the lobster or crab with electricity the crustacean feels no pain within half a second and is dead within 5 - 10 seconds. Both the taste and texture of the meat remains perfect.
Chefs, restaurants and stores who order live crab, crayfish or lobster should consider the Crustastun an essential appliance where the consumer is becoming more aware of the common inhumane treatment of crustaceans.
Crustastun, proudly manufactured by Mitchell & Cooper, is a revolutionary appliance created specifically to humanely stun crustaceans. Developed as an alternative to traditional methods of killing lobster, crayfish and crab, the Crustastun is recognised as the only humane method of stunning crustaceans ready for cooking.
As diners have become more aware of, and increasingly concerned with, the treatment of animals and the slaughter methods used within the food industry, the need for humane and fair practices has never been greater. As evidence that crustaceans can feel pain has grown, so too have calls for traditional cooking methods, such as boiling, to be classed as inhumane and made illegal. Switzerland recently became the first country to ban the boiling of live lobsters, whilst animal welfare organisations such as Crustacean Compassion are campaigning for better treatment of crustaceans in the UK.
Crustastun is recognised by a number of leading welfare groups, including the RSPCA, as a humane and swift method of stunning crustaceans. Compared to boiling, which can take up to three minutes to kill even a small lobster, and cutting the animal in half which is unreliable, Crustastun interrupts the nerve function of the animal within half a second, meaning the shellfish can not feel pain. The animal is also killed in under 10 seconds, making it a dramatically quicker process compared to existing methods.
