How to wash snails quickly and cleanly

Step 1: Put the purchased snails into a basin, wash them several times with clean water, then add clean water and enough salt, soak the snails in salt water. Due to the stimulation of salt, the snails will absorb and spit out water desperately.

Step 2: After 4 to 5 hours, change the water, add some salt, and continue soaking. See if the snails will spit out the mud and sand again. If the water is still dirty after a while, it means they have not spit out all the sand, so continue soaking. If the water is clear, it means you have vomited it all.

Step 3: Take out the snails and wash them with clean water, pour them into a box, add edible salt and appropriate amount of clean water, cover the lid, vibrate up and down continuously, leave it for three to five minutes, and wash it with clean water. You can repeat this step, but don't add salt, until the water becomes clear.

Step 4: Pour the snails into the boiling water pot, cook again until the water boils, and simmer for a while. You will see that most of the things on the top of the snails float up.
