The steaming time of oysters depends on factors such as whether they are in the shell, whether they are shelled, and the thickness of the shell of the whole oyster. Generally speaking, steaming of shelled oysters takes 3 minutes, steaming of open oysters in shells takes about 5 minutes, and steaming of whole shell oysters usually takes about 7 minutes. It should be noted that the steaming time of sea oysters (also called oysters) is generally about 10 minutes, and it is not recommended to exceed 13 minutes to avoid the meat becoming old or the microorganisms not being killed.

1. The steaming time of oysters is related to whether the oysters are open and the size of the oysters. The steaming time of large oysters needs to be slightly longer.

2. Shelled oyster meat is exposed to more water vapor, so it is easier to cook. It only takes about 3 minutes to steam.

3. Open-shell oysters are made by removing a piece of oyster shell after opening the oyster, and then steaming it, usually about 5 minutes.

4. Whole-shell oysters The shell of oysters is very thick and difficult to heat until cooked, so the steaming time of whole-shell oysters is usually about 7 minutes.
