Cooking Notes

A bed of Kosher salt works well; you can get the “level” the oysters to keep the liquor from spilling. No water in this method, just a dry bake. Might take a bit longer, but the method is oven to table and makes a nice presentation.

This works well if you have a rack that cradles the oysters well enough so that none of the juice is lost when the shells open.

No suitable cooking rack? Just use a bed of kosher salt in a sheet pan and no loss of oyster liquid.

I grow oysters and so eat them frequently. Using a bed of salt looks great but is messy to clean up and wasteful. I use a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil crumpled to make a soft bed the oysters can be pushed down to support. Also makes clean up easier - just dump off any spilled juices and toss the foil.

Use lightly crumbled foil to make leveling beds for the oysters.

I use my madeleine pan (made for larger madeleines) instead of buying a 1 use oyster pan for roasting and it fits perfectly.

Great basic preparation for oysters. Perfect for when you don’t have a willing shucker in the house. We had larger oysters so cook time was slightly longer. I had some leftover garlic butter, mignonette and seaweed butter and had fun mixing and matching the various sauces in the warm oysters. Fun, easy and delicious!

Try using harima oysters from Japan. Fat, silky, and meaty with a more subtle brininess.Also try washing it down with an artisanal espadin mezcal. Had it with Herencia de Sanchez. The smoky salty flavors complimented the oysters beautifully.

Delicious. Just make sure you have the best oysters.
