•
Don't use mussels that are open prior to cooking. Steam until the shells open fully, and discard any
that aren't open after cooking.
•
Cook meat, poultry, etc. until the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
•
You should cook leaf vegetables as little as possible, to keep them green and crisp. Plunging them
into iced water will stop the cooking process.
