Steamed oysters usually take about 5 minutes to cook and need to be steamed with hot water. But we should also distinguish the time according to the size of oysters and whether they are shelled or not:

1, steamed oysters, usually with hot water for 5 minutes. Oysters have a high protein content and their shells are heated quickly, so they can be steamed for 5 minutes and have a high umami flavor.

2. Steamed oysters with shells, usually steamed in hot water for 8 minutes. Because oysters with shells have good sealability and strong heat resistance, it is best to steam oysters for 8 minutes in order to completely avoid eating bacterial parasites.

3, only steamed oyster meat, usually steamed with hot water for 3 minutes. Steamed pure oyster meat itself is exposed, with the largest heating area, and oyster meat itself is not heat-resistant, so it only takes 3 minutes to steam oysters.

How many minutes does steamed oysters taste best?

Steamed oysters usually taste best when steamed for 5 minutes. If you want to eat it well done, you can steam it for 6 minutes. In this way, even the elderly and children can feel more at ease.

Is it better to steam oysters in cold water or hot water?

Steamed oysters are usually steamed in hot water, and hot water is better. The reason for this is the following：

1. Steamed oysters with old firewood in cold water. Because cold water cooking means steaming for a longer time, and the oyster itself has a high protein content and poor heat resistance, it has been seriously dehydrated when steamed in cold water, and the oyster tastes old and old, and the elderly and children can't bite it;

2. Steamed oysters in cold water will lose nutrients. Because the nutritional components of oysters are mainly composed of trace elements such as protein and zinc, and these components themselves will reduce the absorption rate at high temperature, protein and some nutritional components will be destroyed and consumed for a long time at high temperature, resulting in serious nutritional loss of the final finished oyster.

Cooking skills of steamed oysters;

(1) To make steamed oysters, you must buy fresh oysters. Due to long-term freezing, the nutritional components of frozen oyster meat generally deteriorate, the absorption rate is greatly reduced, and the taste is not fresh.

(2) When steaming oysters, try not to add any seasoning, let them steam naturally, dip in your favorite ingredients, and eat the original sweetness.

(3) When washing oysters, I will teach you a method. Before cleaning the oyster shell, you can put the oyster into enough clean water, add a spoonful of baking soda, a spoonful of salt and 5g of white vinegar in turn, then stir it evenly, soak it for 10 minute, and then brush it one by one with a brush, which will be particularly easy and the dirt on the oyster will be easily washed off.
