Well firstly soak them in salted water for about 3 minutes, this will allow them to clean themselves,to cook drop them into boiling salted water bring back to the boil and simmer for about 2 minutes,drain them off and enjoy! Easiest way to get them from the shell is by using a needle!.Hope i hepled !.x!.

OK!.!.!. First things first!.!.!. Did you pick them yourself!? If so, do you know that they will be OK and are not polluted!? The best place for winkles here is right along the raw sewage outlet and NOBODY will touch winkles! Only visiting winkle pickers, who usually end up at the Doctor's surgery next morning!.
Once you are sure of all that, you leave them in clean lightly salted water overnight, then drain and pick over and discard all those that have NOT closed their entrance tight or look "empty"!. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and tip the winkles in!. Bring back to boil and leave 10 minutes!.
Winkles are picked out of their shells using a pin!.!.!. My Gran loved winkles, doused in vinegar with bread and butter!. I cannot say I enjoyed them, but neither do I enjoy eating snails although at least they taste nice and garlicky! LOL!
Winkle pickers!.!.!. The nickname for the pointed shoes obviously came from this most "traditional" British food, which just goes to shoe how quickly epicurean fashions change!

3 or 4 minutes!. I totally disagree with the answer further up - the longer you cook them, the more tough and rubbery they will get!.
Try tossing them in tomato, garlic and parsley and stirring into pasta with good quality olive oil!.

Cook winkles in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes!. Drain off the water!. When the shells are cool enough to handle, extract the flesh from each one by pinning it with a small skewer and levering it free!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Winkles are actually periwinkles and are any of several small, often edible marine snails, especially of the genus Littorina, having thick, cone-shaped, whorled shells!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Wash them first in cool clear water!.
I steam mine, rather than boil them!. The meat isnt quite so rubbery when steamed!.
Steamed for about 2-3 minutes over rapidly boiling water ought to do it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
