    Microwave Mussels

    Can You Microwave Mussels?

    The answer is a resounding yes!

    Discover a game-changing method for preparing mussels that's both quick and effortless. Using only your microwave, you can achieve plump, fragrant, high-quality steamed mussels in just five minutes.

    This technique involves placing cleaned mussels in a microwave-safe bowl, covering them tightly with plastic wrap, and microwaving on high for four minutes. After a brief rest, they're ready to be enjoyed.

    For an added touch of flavor, dip your mussels into the reserved broth from the bowl and some melted butter, and serve with crusty French bread to soak up the delicious juices. This approach not only saves time but also ensures a delicious, hassle-free seafood experience.

    Instructions

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs. PEI Mussels, rinsed
    • 2 tbsp. Butter
    • French bread

    Instructions

    1. Before cooking your mussels, it is important to check to see if any are broken or open. Discard any broken shells. Squeeze any opened shells shut. If they do not stay closed, discard them.
    2. Add mussels to a large, microwavable bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
    3. Microwave for 4 minutes at full power. Remove and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 1 minute.
    4. Add the butter to a small dish. Microwave for 20-30 seconds just to melt.
    5. Poke a small hole in the plastic wrap near the edge of your bowl of mussels. Then pour a small dish's worth of mussel broth for dipping.
    6. Remove wrap from the mussels & serve with melted butter and broth for dipping.
    7. Toasted, crusty bread is a must to soak up all the natural flavors of the mussel broth.
