When preparing a head of lettuce, never use a metal knife. Always use a plastic blade. This will keep it from rusting (turning brown), so it looks and tastes so good. Works for me every time.

I have heard this before, so I bought a 'special' green plastic knife just for lettuce. Guess what, didn't make any difference. I live alone now, am handicapped, and I am soon to be 71. Now I buy the bagged lettuce.
I have found that the Greens (lettuce, etc.) in plastic boxes much superior to the bagged product. I live alone and one of the smaller boxes will keep for an entire week of salads & sandwiches.
I hated the bagged lettuce because of the awful smell.Then my niece told me to wash it (clear cold water) then using a spinner, spin away. You have to do this a little bit to get it dry.
