the first method: saltwater soaking method

saltwater soaking method is the most commonly used method to go to the sofa. After soaking the clam in salt water for several hours, it will spit out the sediment, and it needs to be changed in the meantime, otherwise it will not spit out the sediment in the clam, so this method is commonly used, but the effect is sometimes bad.

the second method: edible oil

as we all know, although the clams live in water, they also need to breathe, so when we pour edible oil on the surface where the clams are soaked, the edible oil will separate the water from the air, so the clams can't breathe, and naturally they will breathe frequently, so the sediment contained in the clams will also be spit out.

the third method: warm water soaking method

Clams live in water, and the temperature of water is generally low, so when we put them in warm water, they can't adapt to this temperature, and they will feel the danger, so they will breathe frequently and the sediment in the clam will be brought out with them. But when using this method, we must grasp the temperature of the water. The water temperature is about 5 degrees. If the temperature is higher, the clam may be cooked.

the fourth method: shaking method

soak the clam in a basin, add a proper amount of edible salt, then prepare a basin, buckle the second basin on the basin soaked in the clam, and then shake the two basins vigorously. In this case, the clam will spit out the sediment. This method is very time-saving, but it requires a lot of effort and is generally not suitable for female friends.

the fifth method: heating cleaning method

firstly, clean the clams, then prepare a pot, season the clams with low heat, put them directly into the pot without adding water, and heat them for about 3 minutes. When you see that the clams start to open their mouths, quickly put them under the tap to wash them, so that the mud contained in the clams will be washed away, and the clams will become ripe, and you can directly proceed to the next step.
