Clams often harbor sand and mud in their flesh, so how do you get clams to spit out sand quickly?

Clams are a very tasty seafood, but anyone who likes clams knows that they can be difficult to handle. However, the difficulty here does not arise when it comes to cooking, and the difficulty lies in not knowing what to do with the clams.

Because clams always contain a lot of sand and mud, if you don't treat the clams cleanly, then eating them is like eating sand. We can take some methods to make the clams spit out the sand quickly.

First, prepare some warm water. We pour in a pot of warm water, the amount of warm water will depend on the number of clams, usually we need to cover the surface of the clams. Then we wait for a while. During this time, you do not need to do anything, the clams will be able to complete the work of spitting sand.

This method is particularly easy, and once you have warm water ready to put the clams in, you can use the time to do something else. However, we're using lukewarm water here, about fifty degrees is fine, so you can't use boiling hot water.

Secondly, prepare a container that can be sealed. We pour some water inside this container and put the clams in slowly. However, our work is not done. We need to shake this container up and down so that by shaking it we will be able to spit out the sand from the clams.

Both methods have their merits here, and if you are a lazy person, then the first method is good for you because it has fewer steps to do. If you are in dire need of getting the clams cleaned up to cook a dish with them. Then the second method will be better, although it requires us to use some effort, but it is also more time-saving.
