Red Seal Cook

Answer: B - When simmering, it takes between 6 and 8 minutes to properly cook a 450 g (1 lb) lobster. This rule can be applied to any weight, simply by multiplying the cooking time by the number of pounds. For example, a 2 lb (900 g) lobster would cook in approximately 12 to 15 minutes, while a 2 ½ lb (1.1 kg) lobster would take 16 to 20 minutes.
