1
Two hours before serving, force a large tablespoon between the abalone and its shell, sliding the spoon against the shell to dislodge the shell muscle.
2
(The side not attached to the shell is called the foot.)
3
Using your hands, peel off the narrow flap (a k a. the mantle) near the head the area with two black prongs then remove the innards that surround the central, round shell muscle.
4
If you cannot grab the mantle, cut it slightly with a knife to allow you to grip it better, trying not to pierce the innards, which are attached to the abalone at the head.
5
Cut out the innards and the head in one small chunk and discard.
6
Put the abalone on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
7
(This step is necessary to relax the abalone and prevent it from splitting when pounded.)
8
Repeat this step with the remaining abalones.

Clean, dry and set aside the shells.
