It has also welcomed the Government’s latest Animal Welfare Strategy announcement that legislates against the inhumane act of boiling lobsters and crabs alive.
The Bonzer Crustastun isn’t just compassionate, it also enhances food quality, improves texture and flavour, and extends shelf life by killing harmful bacteria, allowing safe storage for up to 48 hours.
It features a compact, countertop design and is both quick and easy to use, utilising a simple two button operating interface. With no special skills or training required to operate the appliance, kitchens can work with increased flexibility and staffing.
Kat Cooper, project director at Mitchell & Cooper, said: “We highlighted the issues around boiling crustaceans over seven years ago and committed to pioneering a superior option that renders lobsters and crabs insensible in under 0.5 seconds and dispatches them in under ten seconds.
“Our British manufactured Crustastun, from Bonzer, is a world-leading electro-stunning device that targets the neural centres of lobster, crabs and crayfish to eliminate suffering and provide a humane, consistent and reliable alternative to both boiling and skill-dependent methods like split-venting.”
