How to debeard, clean and store mussels

[@groovejets]

Nice, clear, direct and simple advice. Will be following this advise as I clean some mussels for a risotto dinner tonight. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for straight forward info without the extra talking like others.

great instructional video - thanks for posting! will try this tonight :) i got a bit worried because i put ice on top of my mussels right after i got home from the store, but so glad i used a colander with holes on the bottom :)

[@BeckySelengutchef]

yes, you're correct. Therefore, it's important to cook them soon after de-bearding them, to avoid bacterial contamination.

[@BeckySelengutchef]

They are dead because they've been cooked -- that's okay -- To be clear, you should cook only live shellfish. Once cooked and/or frozen no problem.

This was a wonderful video! It was informative and eased my anxiety about cooking my first round of mussels!

Excellent video - concise and to the point.

I love how you started with knowing if the mussel is dead or alive-great video!! Thanks for sharing.

[@BeckySelengutchef]

it's hard to get the salt percentage correct and you could accidentally kill them if it's not perfect -- so just store them as I suggested, either on ice, or just in a bowl with a damp towel on top. They should be totally fine in 48 hours unless they were less than fresh when you got them.

This was extremely helpful. Thank you!

there are mussels in our commissary wherein the upper shells are already removed. How will I know if they are alive or still safe for consumption?

[@ChikoWhat]

Hi Becky, what do you think of Abalone? I want to see you cover them in some way. =D

[@tweewin]

Hi Becky, you said in your video that eating dead mussels is bad, but the ones from the grocery store is frozen and pre-cooked. Is that bad? =/

[@BeckySelengutchef]

are they frozen?

[@BeckySelengutchef]

thank you! My videographer Luuvu did a great job.

[@BossLadyWhite]

@Ashloup YES!I did,too.I love cooking fresh seafood

[@riichikosher3209]

those are really some resilient little bastards!

[@bm7792]

not consuming dead shellfish is an old wives tale. refrigeration and safe storing are a reality for today's market, and you can safely consume them provided there is no foul odor or spoilage.

Great video, very informative. Subbed! :)
