The best way to have a blast this summer is to have your family and friends over for dinner. A clambake would be a great idea - cool outdoor atmosphere, fresh seafood cooked over a fire, exotic drinks, bright decorations, and beach music, sounds fantastic, huh?
But what will you do if the weather turns out bad? Actually, it’s not really a problem as you can still hold the best clambake party at home. It’s just a perfect way to give the cold winter day a summer feel into it. And yes, a Homemade Clambake is a healthy, simple, and fun way to entertain your loved ones.
In place of any old clambake, consider having a super deluxe clambake, which is sure to please a variety of tastes. For your indoor clambake, purchase some fresh live lobster, shellfish, shrimp, mussels, and maybe even some crab. You might also want to have some lobster bisque or clam chowder on the menu, in addition to roasted potatoes and corn on the cob.
Aside from the food for your super deluxe clambake at home party, you will also want to purchase bibs for your guests, claw crackers, table napkins, and a good supply of wet towlettes. Eating seafood can get pretty messy, so better be ready.
You are probably wondering how you can have an indoor clambake, when the clams and other seafood in a clambake are traditionally cooked in a pit over an open fire. For this super deluxe clambake, you will be doing all of the cooking on traditional indoor stove tops.
The only very special tool you have to have for cooking is a stock pot. These things can be found in different sizes and can come with a steamer rack and basket. Stock pots are sold in cooking supply shops and online stores over the Internet. And if you’re purchasing one online, take a minute to search for good clambake recipes you might want to consider doing.
There are also many super deluxe clambake kits available that would surely help make your clambake preparation a lot easier. Most of these kits usually have everything you need like cloth napkins, wet naps, claw crackers, and the food itself. These helpful kits are also found on the Internet. With these things, all you need to do is to purchase fresh vegetables and you’re all set for a clambake party.
A clambake gathering indoors may not be the clambake you had in mind. We are all used to having them outside while enjoying the view. But a little variety wouldn’t hurt, just use your creativity and you are sure to have an unforgettable clambake at home.
