2 pounds | Steamers |
¼ cup | Water |
1. Place steamers and ¼ cup water in a cooking bag.
2. Tie the top of the bag with string. Do not use metal fasteners.
3. Pierce 3 holes near the top of the bag to allow the steam to escape. 4. Heat in Microwave Oven 6 minutes or until shells open.
Tip: The live clams can be placed in a shallow pan with enough water to cover. Sprinkle a handful of cornmeal over them and let stand a few hours or
overnight. They will absorb the cornmeal into their systems and it will clean
out any sand as well as help in whitening the clam meat.
