When muscles, particularly those from seafood like clams and mussels, do not open during cooking, it usually indicates that they were already dead before being cooked or that they are spoiled. Live shellfish should open when properly cooked, signaling that they are safe to eat. If they remain closed, it's advisable to discard them to avoid potential foodborne illness. Ensuring freshness and proper cooking techniques can help prevent this issue.
