Hints from Heloise: How to core a head of lettuce, keep mushrooms fresh and more
Dear Heloise: I use an easy way to core a head of lettuce. Never mind using a knife because this is safer and less likely to cut your fingers. Hold the head of lettuce in both hands with the stem at the bottom facing downward. Then give the stem two or three firm taps on the counter. Don’t be afraid to bring that head of lettuce down hard. Then turn it over and pull out the core with your hand. Wash the lettuce leaves and drain well. -- Wendy T., Phoenix.
