The shell of cooked conch will open.

If you find that the conch slices can be opened, you can eat them out of the pot.

How to identify live conches: Generally, conchs whose tentacles or conch flesh are exposed can automatically retract when lightly touched by hand, which means they are live conchs.

Conchs come in different sizes. Generally, for regular-sized conchs, turn to medium heat after boiling and continue cooking for about 5 minutes. If the conchs are larger, you can cook them longer as appropriate. After the water boils, you need to cook them again. Cook for about 10-15 minutes to prevent the conch meat from being undercooked, but you must control the time. If the time is too long, it will easily overcook the conch meat, resulting in a less fresh and tender texture, and the meat will be easily broken, hard, and difficult to chew.
