Distiller water is hard and expensive to get hold of in the UK. It used to be that chemists sold large amounts of it but not anymore, and as expected delivery prices are insane.
Last time I boiled lobsters I used de-ionised water, or battery top-up water, thinking it was the same thing. now i know that de-ionised water is water that is purified using chemical filters including lye. Is this stuff alright to use? I know it uses chemical filtering but the final product is close enough to pure water, right? It worked fine last time, but then I guess I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference even if I had just used tap water (not that I would do this).
I'm also planning on giving my product (the cooked lobsters) a sodium carbonate wash if that would make a difference.
Thanks for the help
