Ok so I am very new to PC and the forum so really you can take what I say with a grain of salt if you want but I will be receiving my kit soon and I have been cooking for YEARS, I own a catering business! Using metal doesn't JUST turn lettuce brown it actually rusts lettuce, so if you want to use metal on lettuce tear off the part you want to use and then use the metal on the part you are going to eat, also always leave the head attached to the lettuce it will stay fresh longer.
