Cooking Instructions

Equipment

• One pot

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• Chowder Stock
• Half and Half, or ½ milk and ½ cream (We recommend using about 30% liquid to 70% stock.)

Instructions

• It is very easy to burn chowder on bottom of pan so it is important to use low heat.
• If you would like to heat chowder a little faster, you can heat chowder and milk/cream separately.
• (Never add cold milk/cream to hot stock or vise versa, only combine when they are the same temperature.)
• Stir frequently.
• Spray inside pot with cooking spray.
• Add stock and cream/milk. Stir frequently.
• Heat to desired temperature, but DO NOT BOIL!
• The cream/milk will break down if it comes to a boil!
• Check temperature by tasting a potato as you are heating
• Do be careful not to burn yourself. Serve with butter or Red Hot. Enjoy!

Equipment

• One large stockpot.

Instructions

• Add 1-cup water.
• Put bags of clams into pot and cover.
• Turn heat on high.
• When the water begins to bubble up, remove cover and reduce heat.
• Keep cover off and return heat to high until bubbles come up again.
• Repeat low and high heat until it comes up five or six times, or when clamshells are completely opened and bellies look firm.
• The clams should come out of shells easily.

Please Note: Soft Shell or “Steamer Clams” are harvested from sand flats, better known as “sandbars”.  This accounts for the sand found on and sometimes in the clams themselves.  To help remove the sand we suggest “rinsing” (not soaking) the steamers before cooking under cold water until you see clear water running and not the silted sand.  Also note that the broth created from the actual steaming/cooking process maybe used to “swish” the cooked clams in before dipping them in the melted butter.  Many New Englanders drink the broth from the clams, calling it “Sea-Tea”.
