Tip 1: salt water immersion
The most commonly used method to make clams spit sand is to soak them in salt water, which can really make them spit sand, and the method is very simple.
But it usually takes several hours, and sometimes it can't spit out the sand after soaking once, and it takes longer or even several times to make them completely spit out the sand.
Advantages and disadvantages of methods:
Advantages: simple and easy to operate
Disadvantages: it takes a long time and the effect of spitting sand is average.
Tip 2: soak in warm water
Unlike salt water soaking, it takes a long time.
Here's a brief introduction to you.
Also a more convenient way;
Soak the clams in warm 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 is not hot to the mouth, which is about 50 degrees.
Immerse them in a water temperature of about 50 degrees, and the clams will feel dangerous. They will absorb more water for self-protection and 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, it will cook them and it will not fully spit sand.
Advantages and disadvantages of methods:
Advantages: short time.
Disadvantages: the water temperature is difficult to grasp.
Tip 3: Shake method
If you think that the above two methods, one takes too long, and the other is a little difficult to grasp the temperature, are not very convenient.
Then try the following trick!
1, first prepare two pots, put the clams into one pot and add a proper amount of water.
2. Then, put the other basin upside down on the one containing the clam, and start shaking it up and down by hand.
In order to facilitate observation and comparison, the sand they spit out was poured into the previous glass bowl, which was the first time to shake them for dozens of seconds. Shake and spit sand method generally shakes about five times, which can make them spit out a lot of sand, and basically make them spit very clean.
Advantages and disadvantages of methods:
Advantages: short time consumption and good sand spitting effect.
Disadvantages: Please help me think about it.
Tip 4: Heat and rinse.
If you can't wait, you want to start right away, ok! It's not impossible ~ then do it;
First, wash the bought clams directly under flowing clean water, then put them in a waterless wok and heat them for 3 minutes. When the clams open their shells one after another, pick them out and put them under the tap to clean the sediment inside.
Finally, put it back in the pot and stir-fry it for seasoning. This practice is not only very fast, but also the cooked clam meat is very fresh and tender, and the nutrition and water are not easy to lose!
Advantages and disadvantages of methods:
Advantages: simple and convenient to clean.
Disadvantages: this is really not.
All right! I leave the skills to you, but I believe some people have seen some skills, such as refueling and stirring ~ but but ~ now Xiaobian wants to refute rumors!
Two major misunderstandings
Adding cooking oil will not help to expel sand, but will accelerate the death of the water added with cooking oil, which will reduce the oxygen content and make the clam breathe poorly, let alone spit sand. Such a water environment will accelerate the death of the clam.
Constantly stirring the clam, it is more difficult to stir the clam with a stirring rod, which will stimulate the clam and make it sensitive to the environment and frightened. It is difficult for the clam to extend out of the water pipe to discharge sand.
The fastest way for clam to spit sand has been counted here for everyone, so it's clear! Don't be fooled by rumors again ~
