Hello, I'm Ran He, the second chef. Today, I want to share with you how to clean snails. Summer is the most common season to eat snails. However, the snail is delicious, but it is dirty. Snails often live in wet and dark areas of ditches and feed on insects and other small animals, which is harmful to health. In addition, the taste of dirty snails is also very bad. Therefore, it must be thoroughly cleaned and treated before eating. Put the bought snails into the basin, and simply wipe them with clear water for several times. Add water and plenty of salt.

The amount of salt should be moderate, usually until the water is very salty. In this way, snails are soaked in salt water for a day or two. Due to the stimulation of salt, snails will be desperate. Absorb water, spit water, and spit out the sludge inside. During this period, the water was changed three times repeatedly. Rinse with water for the last time. Pour the snail into the boiling water pot, boil it again until the water boils, then stew for a while, and you will see a lot of things floating on the top of the snail. Take out the cooked snails and pour them into clean water for cleaning. If you want to cook snail meat separately, you can take it out with a needle or toothpick and rinse it. Buy fresh snails from the market, pour them directly into the water when you get home, then put on gloves and continue to scratch and wash.

Don't be too careful at this time, just scratch and wash repeatedly. After changing the water, add appropriate sesame oil and salt to the water. The purpose of this is to make snails spit out dirty things quickly and let us eat clean snails. Then let the snail soak in water for half an hour. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to putting on gloves and washing them several times. Change the water for cleaning, and change the water several times. This way, you can not only wash it more cleanly, but also eat it, which is more convenient to suck out the meat inside the snail. Of course, you can also use diagonal pliers to clip off the pointed snail tail. If there is moss on the snail, it is not easy to clean it. After the snail spits out the sand, you can only put on gloves and rub it repeatedly, then rub off some moss, and finally clean it with a steel ball. You must brush it slowly if you can't be lazy. After all, it is to eat more cleanly.
