Notes
If you want to sedate your lobsters before boiling them, you can chill them in the freezer up to 30 minutes before you boil them.
When parboiling do not drop the lobster in tail first as it can kick back with its tail, splashing boiling water out of the pot at you and possibly knocking over the pot. Been there, done that.
Ask your lobster vendor if they can parboil and split the lobster for you.
