How to cook stuffed clams in air fryer
Cooking stuffed clams in your air fryer is incredibly simple. Another way to cook them is by baking or grilling, but I prefer the air fryer because it’s so simple and completely mess-free.
Since you don’t need to defrost the stuffed clams before cooking them, this method is the quickest. Simply remove the desired number of clams from the package, add them to the basket, and close the package. There is no requirement to place air fryer liners on the bottom of the basket. This is not a messy recipe.
Close air fryer and cook clams for about 12-13 minutes. Its important to not overcook or they will become dry. Use a digital thermometer if you’re unsure if they’re cooked all the way through. Seafood should be at least 145 degrees when fully cooked.
Every time you cook the stuffed clams in the air fryer, they will be cooked to perfection if you follow the instructions on the recipe card.
Clams will cook much more quickly if you decide to thaw them before cooking. 5-6 minutes to be exact at 390 degrees. If clams vary in size, just watch their internal temperature. It’s time to let them all out and enjoy them once they’ve all reached over 145 degrees Fahrenheit!
Premade, frozen stuffed clams are the best because you can eat them all year long. Matlaws makes a variety of clams for any party. They are also very affordable, and you get a lot for that price. Store bought stuffed clams are just as good as homemade. Same great taste.
This is not a sponsored post, just my opinion. And this is the only business, at least near where I live, that sells it. Perfect for a quick appetizer!.
A straightforward garden salad or a side of mashed or butter potatoes go amazingly with stuffed clams. They go really well with baby potatoes that have been prepared with garlic, butter, and dill.
Clams can be served as an appetizer at a party. Put them on a sizable serving platter, top with additional chopped cilantro, and serve to your visitors.
My children adore them when I add a drop of mayo and ketchup to them. I’m not sure if I can endorse this pairing, but I wanted to share how my kids like to eat their air-fried clams.
