How Long Does It Take To Boil Clams?
The cooking time for boiling clams depends on the size and type of clams. In general, it takes about 5-10 minutes to boil small clams and up to 20 minutes for larger ones. It’s important not to overcook the clams, as this can result in a rubbery texture. Clams are done when their shells have opened, indicating that they are fully cooked. Any clams that do not open during cooking should be discarded.
