How to wash the flower shells cleanly

In our lives, many people like to eat clams, which is a kind of seafood with shells. Nowadays, many people also raise this kind of seafood in ponds. This kind of seafood tastes tender, but because it generally grows in places with a lot of sand, there will be a lot of sand in it. When cleaning, you must peel off the shell to clean it. So how can you wash the shell cleanly?

How to clean clams

Method 1: Use chopsticks to separate the clams from the bottom of the basin. Because the clams are always in the center of the basin, the sand they spit out will sink directly to the bottom, and the water that is suspended in the middle and then sucked in is clean.

Method 2: When buying clams, ask the seller for some sea salt and dissolve it in clean water to create the taste of sea water. Then put two chopsticks that are not often used in the basin to prevent the small basket from sinking to the bottom. Finally, put the colander full of clams on it to soak it. Then add a few drops of sesame oil. After 2-3 hours, you will see that there will be a lot of dirt at the bottom of the basin.

Method 3: After cooking, rinse with clean water and take out of the pot. When picking, pay attention to the clams whose shells are not opened as they are dead and should be picked out. Now you can put them in the pot and cook them to your favorite flavor.
