How To Quickly Remove Sand From Manila Clams
This method of washing the clams in hot water to remove the sand was shown on TV a while back, then I came up with my own way to do it.
It seems that soaking them in hot water forces the clams to spit out the sand. I decided to try washing them at 50℃. The temperature can be changed.
Regarding the temperature of the water... the clams should soak in water at a temperature at about which the meat will poke out a bit (45-50℃).
If it's too hot the clams will open up and you'll lose the juices, so be careful. Recipe by ano mama

Soak the clams in hot water (45-50℃) for 5-10 minutes. If you have the time, soaking for 20 minutes is best.
- 2
Wash by rubbing the clams thoroughly, then discard the hot water. Rub-wash the clams 3-4 times. It's easy to rub-wash while running the clams under warm water from the tap.

And there's no more sand! The clams will open about 3 mm. This is the proof that they've spit out the sand!
