Magick. Or let the dogs wash it. Waterless refers to cooking. I asked
they guy doing the presentation "How do you steam something, then?"

      Title: Cider-Steamed Mussels w/Applejack Cream
 Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy, Booze
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lg Onion; sliced thin
      1 c  Apple cider
     32    Mussels; cleaned
    1/4 c  Laird's Applejack
      2 c  Heavy cream
           White pepper & salt
    1/4 c  Minced fresh parsley leaves
 
  Perfect for fall, when apples and mussels are in
  abundance.
  
  In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, combine the
  onion, cider, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil over high
  heat. Add the mussels and cook them, covered, for 3-5
  minutes, or until they are opened. Transfer the mussels
  with a slotted spoon to a hated serving dish, discarding
  any unopened ones. Cover them with a hot, damp dishcloth
  to keep them from drying out.
  
  Add the AppleJack to the skillet and reduce the liquid to
  about 1/2 cup. Add the cream, a little at a time, bringing
  the liquid to a boil after each addition, and reduce this
  liquid until it measures about 3/4 cup. Add the white
  pepper and salt it to taste. Strain the sauce through a
  fine sieve over the mussels, and sprinkle the mixture with
  minced parsley.
  
  Yield: 4 servings
