Generally, conchs of normal size should be cooked in cold water, first with strong fire, then with medium fire, and continue to steam for about 5 minutes. If the conch is large, it can be cooked for a long time as appropriate. Steamed conch must grasp the time. If it takes too long, it is easy to be cooked, it is not tender to eat, and the meat is hard and chewy.

The time for steaming conch depends on the size of conch. If the conch is large, it should be cooked for about ten minutes, and try not to exceed ten minutes. If it is a normal size or a small conch, it can be cooked for three minutes. If the time is not too long, its meat will be cooked. Conch itself has less meat. If it is cooked for too long, the meat may be gone.
