Clams cleaning method one
First of all, put the clams into a basin of warm water, and add saltpeter and oil to the warm water, the amount according to the water in the basin. This will mimic the clam's growing environment so that it will open its shell in favor of spitting sand.
The purpose of the oil is to form a film of oil on the surface of the water, which separates the water from the air and allows the clams to breathe faster due to the lack of oxygen in the water, thus speeding up the process of spitting sand.
After two to three hours of standing, we will see most clams open their shells and the water is cloudy, which is when the clams go to spit the sand process is complete.
If you want to shorten the time, you can use your hands to stir the water back and forth in the basin and change the water repeatedly.

Then put the clams into a frying pan without water and heat them for 3 minutes. When the clams open one after another, immediately pick out the open clams and put them under the faucet to rinse, so as to clean up the internal sediment.
