Riz au Lait: The Frenchman's Ultimate Comfort Food
An English barrister has invented a gadget that kills lobsters within 5 seconds. The CrustaStun is a more humane method of killing lobsters rather than being boiled alive.
The gadget is to go into commercial production in several versions including one small enough to be the 'must-have' kitchen accessory. The industrial sized version is already in use by the Blue Seafood Company, in Paignton, Devon, and Cromer Crab, of Norfolk. A smaller version suitable for restaurant chains, catering organisations and large hotels will be available soon at a cost of about £1,500 to £2,000.
Hopefully the home version will look a little more trendy - perhaps a KitchenAid-type makeover - than the industrial looking model pictured.

Considering that a lobster's brain is smaller than a US penny, I doubt it would even have a chance to realise something was happening to it. Boiling seems like it would definitely take longer.

. . . but if you want to eat it, I read that chilling a lobster until its numb before steaming it to death with superheated steam is not only fast, but that the chilling effect numbs the lobster enough where it won't know it's dead until its unable to know that it's dead--if lobsters have the capacity to appreciate the fact of its death to begin with. I think of them as tasty meat filled robots with crusty shells.
