from the Test Kitchen

To prepare iceberg lettuce, remove any damaged outside leaves. Holding lettuce with two hands (core facing down), hit it firmly on the bench to loosen the core and make it easy to remove. Rinse lettuce under cold running water to loosen leaves. Drain leaves, trim and place into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until required. For longer storage, fill bowl with water; drain lettuce when ready to serve.
