How about seasoning a layer or two?
Oh my gosh you have dogs!!!!
not to be too parasocial but julia feels like my best friend…. my favorite cool cousin
wheres the salt
no spices. flavorless. wtf is this
just awful
Loved this. But it would be helpful to add a segment on how to break down a lobster thay is grabbed off the platter.
My wife and I have been making this dish since the first time you showed it on America's Test Kitchen. We went big years ago and started making it outdoors in a 160 quart pot. That fits about 3 kielbasa, 4 bags of potatoes, 400 clams 20 corn and 20 lobsters. We also put down a shower curtain on the table and throw all the garbage on there so once everyone is done we just pick up the shower curtain and fold and toss. This recipe has brought us and our friends much joy. Thank you
If you do not like kielbasa what can you substitute?
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you did not touch the lobster….
Wow that's awesome what a beautiful platter
She's good with a knife
Oven cleaner for 3-5 minutes bye bye pitting and or stains.
I’ve always wanted to do a clambake and you just make easy….thank you
does anyone know if everything needs to fit tight into the pot like that or can i use a bigger pot ?
Looks expensive. 🤔
Wow! Yum……Amazing!! 10 stars
U forgot to turn on your Smellovision 😂😋😍😇 + 🕯 💜👀❤👀🌹🌸🌷🌿🍀🌾🍃
Hello friend
You can go to home depo buy
a gallon of : C L R
Calcium ,lime , rust
U can keep it under the sink , use 1 to 2
table spoons & rub it on that mineral spots with gloves with scotch bright for 1 or 2 miutes , it shines your pot .😋😊Also you can clean your shower head & etc…
It is not sermon just a thought ❤💜
This is so much simpler than finding enough space for digging a hole with the people gathered 'round it for a beach clambake.
What a unique way of cooking this dish. I would add Old Bay and lemons. Are the mussels and calms over cooked? I usually steam them for five or six minutes. That’s why I’m asking. Very cool great video. Stay well. From Southern California with love ❤️
Sausages/Kielbasa is not traditional, nor is that corn bread that magically appeared at the end. lol
It looks great, but why no seasoning?
wow – no seasoning at all – surprisingly easy
So simple and ingenious. Love this recipe.
Only 2 lobsters? 🙁
I'm a lifelong NYer, 50 years upstate. Clam bakes have always been a thing.
So easy. Should show us how to take apart the lobster.
Surprised no seasoning, like a Old Bay…or is that just for “boils” not “bakes”?
Oh this looks so good. I never knew that water wasn't added. We can't get lobster here but I'm going to make it anyway, without the lobster.
Wow, that's the easiest clam back I've ever seen. Thanks Julia.
I wish you would have dug into the lobster to show us how to do it
Well we just finished eating and it was fantastic. My wife says it's a keeper. Will make seafood stock from the shells tomorrow. Great meal!
Fantastic!! Happy summer. And it’s so fast.
This looks delicious and so easy, but where is the seasoning? I’m from the south, we usually do boils down here. With lots of old bay, lemon, onions and seasonings.

Yummy 😋
