  • Publication number: 20120034358
    Abstract: A lobster processing apparatus and method that includes a rotatable housing and several stations for extracting meat from a lobster. The housing is a cubic structure, which on each side comprises a different means for cleaning and disassembling a lobster for consumption. These include a vertical cutter device with a retracting blade, a pressure crunching vice for cracking lobster claws, a dual roller system for extruding meat from lobster appendages, and finally a mincing device for processing extracted lobster meat. Below the rotatable housing is an extendable drip pan with pull-out trays and a removable drip collector for spilled liquid. The housing is rotated to align each station above the drip tray during use, thereby allowing each processing station to rotate towards a seated or stationary user. Inside the housing is a means for supplying electric power to each processing device, supplied via batteries or an external A/C power source.
