  3. If the heart has a membrane - remove it by pulling it off the heart.

  4. Wash the exposed heart chambers under running water. When the water fills the chambers, you will feel the heart swallows a bit.

    Press and squeeze the heart with your fingers. This action will push the water and clotted blood out of the heart chambers. Repeat the process few times until the heart is completely clean.

    Repeat this process until all the hearts are cleaned.

  5. Take a skewer and impale the heart through the aorta - the blood vessel in the center of the heart.
