Introduction: For the friends who like to eat seafood, they all have a love for clams. Protein in clams is very rich, and it is also rich in many ingredients such as calcium, iron and taurine. It is a kind of high protein, low calorie and inexpensive seafood. But it is a difficult problem to clean the sand in clams, so how to clean clams?

First, salt water soaking This is a common method to make shellfish spit sand, and it is very simple to operate. Just put some salt in the water and soak it in salt water for about two hours. However, partners may think that this is too time-consuming, because sometimes soaking clams in salt once can't completely spit out the sand. Sometimes it takes longer, or even several times, to make them spit sand completely.

Second, the shaking method is more effective than salt water soaking. Put the clams into a plastic bowl, add a proper amount of water and 2 drops of sesame oil at the same time, cover the clams with a plastic cover, shake the plastic bowl up and down for 1 minute, and then clean the clams for later use. If you have a glass jar or glass bottle at home, you can use it as long as it is a sealed container.

Third, hot water immersion? Soak clams in hot water of about 50 degrees, and of course you don't have to buy a thermometer. The criterion is that it is hot to the touch, but it doesn't burn your mouth, which is about 50 degrees. When they are immersed in the water temperature of about 50 degrees, the clams will feel the danger, and they will absorb more water for self-protection. At this time, they will actively spit sand, which usually takes only 10 minutes to complete. However, this method needs to pay special attention to the temperature. If the temperature is too high, they will be cooked and cannot spit sand fully.

Nowadays, people's diets are more and more diversified, and shellfish like clams are very popular with many people because of their delicious taste and unique flavor. There are spicy fried clams, steamed eggs and fried clams in a nine-story tower. If the sand is not cleaned up, it will affect the taste, which is not only unsanitary, but also greatly reduces the delicious taste of clams. I hope that all the friends can use the correct cleaning method to eat delicious clams.
