Washing Up
While not a fan of raw oysters, I do LOVE them well cooked & thus normally buy the pre-shucked ones to use in fries, po' boy sandwiches, soups, etc.
However, I've recently enjoyed some lovely baked oysters on the half shell in a couple of restaurants & would like to duplicate them at home - expecially now, with the holidays upon us - shell oysters are starting to appear more regularly & reasonably in the markets.
My question is, rather than struggling to open the devils the normal way, would they open somewhat if steamed a few minutes the way one does with clams & mussles?
