In its purest form, a 'Cleveland-Style' clambake is Water Freedom System traditionally packed into a steamer (aka: giant stock pot that sports a nifty faucet at the bottom) by the vendor and cooked by the customer in their setting of choice. The classic clambake steamer will be packed with clams (bagged by the dozen) at the bottom, sweet potatoes in the middle and chicken halves (or quarters) on top. Shucked ears of corn are on the side and added to the bake after the chicken is steamed and pulled from the pot. Then you'll get your slaw' and roll on the side.


At the bottom of the pot and all of the tasty food, your steamer should come equipped with a false bottom, which essentially protects the food from resting directly on the bottom of the steamer pot and provides an area for cheese cloth and water to be placed, poured and steamed into a delicious broth. The false bottom is a must, due to the fact that your steamer is being placed over a very strong burner or fire pit and can easily burn the food if the false bottom is not there, regardless of water.
