Pressure cookers are a type of pot that cooks food faster and better than a crockpot or an instant pot.
A pressure cooker is a device that cooks food in boiling water. It is also known as a pressure pan, pressure cooker, or steam oven. Pressure cookers are more efficient than other cooking methods because they use less energy to cook the food and they have better heat distribution.
How to Clean & Prepare the Mussels for Cooking
The first step is to remove the shells. Use a knife to cut the “beard” or stringy part of the shell near the hinge.
Next, scrub each mussel with a stiff brush under cold running water. If they are really dirty, you may want to soak them in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes before scrubbing them. While removing and scrubbing the mussels, be sure to discard any that have broken shells or open hinges. , or that have a foul smell. To de-beard, the mussel, hold it on its side and cut the stringy part near the open hinge with a knife.
