put into a large pot of room temperature salt water
bring it SLOWLY up to very warm - using a trivet so the bottom of the pot doesn't get too hot
they just completely relax and go to sleep -
at that point - you turn the heat up and bring to the boil and boil for the recommended time ---------- this is the method used by fishing and catering professionals - it has several advantages
1. the animal does not suffer
2. because the animal isn't stressed - the muscle is relaxed
3. because the muscle is relaxed - the meat is very tender
