  • Check the Oysters: Remove the oysters from the oven and ensure the shells are slightly open. If any shells remain fully closed, gently tap on them to see if they open slightly. Use a spoon or an oyster shucking knife to carefully pry open stubborn shells.
    Note: Discard any oysters that do not open, as they may not be safe to eat. Handle carefully, as the oysters and shells will be hot.

Notes

  • Don’t Overbake: Oysters bake quickly, so stick to the 8-minute cook time. Overbaking can make them tough and chewy.
  • Use Fresh Oysters: Always choose fresh Kumamoto oysters for the best flavor and texture. Look for oysters with tightly closed shells and a clean, briny smell.
  • Sauté Aromatics Carefully: When sautéing garlic and ginger, use medium heat and stir frequently to avoid burning, which can create a bitter flavor
