Cleaning skills:
1. After buying big shells, be sure to soak them in water for a while. Don't clean them immediately. The purpose of soaking is to loosen the dirt on big shells and big shell meat
2. If you want to keep the big shell for cooking, brush the big shell with a toothbrush to prevent the shell from polluting the big shell meat. 3. Then cut open the big shell with a knife, remove the sediment and internal organs of the big shell except the colored meat, and then rinse it repeatedly with clear water until the fingers can't touch the sand or things in the meat. After the big shells are washed, you can start cooking.
Generally speaking, it is recommended to steam or bake the big shell with garlic vermicelli, and the big shell meat can also be removed, fried or made into soup. Big shells taste good, but they are not suitable for eating too much. It can lead to diarrhea, cold body and stomach injury.
Usually, when cleaning the clam, we have to clean the gravel on its surface first. The best way is to put it under running water, wash it repeatedly in the cleaning workshop, and then wash its surface by hand. If the area can't be effectively hand-washed, we can let the discarded soft toothbrush at home clean the surface of the clam, remove the fine sand and then rinse it with cold water.
