SEAFOOD AND FISH - SWITCH MODEL ONLY_____
To prepare shellfish, scrub the shells under running water. Shells
will open when done. However, clams, mussels and oysters will
open at different times during steaming. Watch during the last
half of recommended steaming time and carefully remove shells
as they open. Use tongs to remove the cooked shells and imme­
diately replace cover. Shrimp turn pink when done and the flesh
is opaque white. They may be steamed in the shell or peeled.
