i absolutely love new england clam bakes. with lobsters, hard and soft shell clams, sausage, redskin potatoes, corn on the cob, onions, etc., all steamed together, shelled and dipped in butter. it's nearly nirvana.
however, i have never made one at home, and would like to give it a try while lobsters are on sale at $5.99/lb., and the corn is sweet.
how do you cook your clam bake?
what kind of pot do you use? i know a pit in the sand is best, but i'm doing this at home.
what is your steaming liquid?
do you use seaweed and/or cheesecloth?
can it be done on a charcoal grill?
