How to steam your mussels
For 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds mussels, put 1 cup liquid (water or a mix of water and white wine or beer) in a 4- to 6-quart pot. Bring to a boil, then dump in the mussels and cover. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mussels open wide. Some of them may not open all the way. That doesn’t mean these mussels are bad. Just use a knife to open the shells and enjoy!
