Cooking Tip

Cooking Oysters

• If you soak oysters in club soda for five minutes, they usually come out of their shells more easily.
• Before using oysters in any fried or creamed dish, dry them carefully in an absorbent towel. Allow one quart undrained, shucked oysters for six servings.
• Oysters don't take long to cook. Three to six minutes is usually all it takes depending on the size. The longer they cook the tougher they'll get. You can tell when an oyster is done when the edges curl.
