What each ingredient does
- Oysters (in the method)
- The main ingredient; their proteins set and firm up as they heat, giving a tender, bite-sized texture.
- Butter (in the method)
- Fat that carries heat evenly around the oysters and adds richness and a rounded flavour.
The step that matters
Cook until the oysters curl. Oysters toughen and shrink when their proteins are heated too long. Watching for the edges to curl and removing them promptly keeps them tender and juicy.
