FAQ

What’s the best method for heating Blount Clam Shack Seafood soups?

The best way to heat your bag of soup is to drop the bag in rapidly boiling water for approximately 20. Use a pair of tongs to turn the bag in the boiling water occasionally. Carefully remove the bag from the water using a pair of tongs, cut the top of the bag open halfway and pour the contents into your serving bowl or crockpot (For best results, hold and serve at 150 degrees F). Remember…the contents will be very hot. Avoid spilling or splattering the soup to prevent burns. Do not microwave our bags of soup. Please follow the above boil-in-bag instructions.
