Often people are scared to cook mussels or don't know how, yet, it is in fact very easy to cook them.
However, it is the preparation that is the important part.
You have to be careful that the mussels are healthy to eat and as long as you take good care with this you will be fine.
Mussels need to be closed when you pop them in the pan, throw any away if they are open.
When they are cooked they should be open, again, throw them away if they remain closed. Please take care with this part!
