  • Fresh, raw oysters are one of life's greatest pleasures; life's too short to be intimidated by the prospect of shucking them at home. Cook's Illustrated's Dan Souza demonstrates the test kitchen's favorite (and foolproof) shucking technique.

    I'd never successfully shucked an oyster before, yet had almost put the knife into my hand at least twice trying. After watching this video, I shucked 108 oysters for a Super Bowl party without injury. Thank you!

    I love straight to the point videos about food/cooking. I love charbroiled oysters and think I can do better than the restaurants

      You probably do better work than restaurants, because most people working in restaurants are high on the job.

    This is a better explanation than most, watching for the shell to "give" it happens quick when it happens.
    I have been trying a new skill lately, shucking oysters.
    Nice reward for you your efforts!

    Yesterday, just for laughs, I bought some raw oysters from the grocery store. I started to try opening them and then I realized that the disaster potential was high. I am glad that I hesitated and watched this video before I proceeded any further. The potential disaster wound up being an enjoyable experience. I did however have to improvise on the oyster knife, as I had no such thing available. Thanks for posting.

    You should try the East Hampton Shucking tool, it's the safest and easiest way to open oysters. It keeps your hand away from the knife. You won't hurt yourself.

    i'm such a dummy, i saw this video awhile back and was easily able to shuck some oysters I picked up and now I just got some more and couldn't figure it out. I always assume the hinge is not the place to go... i'll probably forget again and come back once more but at least it's here should I need reference hehe

  • @MrAdrianaangel
    @MrAdrianaangel 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    There's another video that says the hinge way is the primitive way and that the oyster should be opened from the front.

    Technique is good except for the widdling motion used on the oyster. This grates debris from the oyster and it falls into the liquor.
