Let them sit there 15-20min. They'll pull in the clean water and expel grit. I didn't know they were live the first time I cooked them until one closed gently on my fingertip while I was cleaning it. I screamed. If you want to be sure you get most of the grit out of your mussels, plug your sink and fill it with enough water to cover them. Let them sit there 15-20min.

I've done mussels once before where I sort of steamed them in broth and wine and...this seems so much easier. Would it be weird to brown some sausage and throw that into the oven to? Oooh!
