Steam Cooking
Mussels
Fresh mussels
Prepare only mussels that are closed.
Do not eat mussels that have not opened after being cooked. Risk of food poisoning!
Soak fresh mussels in water for a few hours before cooking to rinse out any sand. Then scrub the mussels thoroughly to remove all fibers.
Frozen mussels
Defrost frozen mussels before cooking.
Cooking time
The longer mussels are cooked, the tougher they become.
