5-7 minutes.
Oysters in the shell because the shell is relatively hard and the gap is relatively small, can not be very good contact with the water vapor, so the steaming time needs to be a little longer, after the water is boiling usually need to steam for another 5-7 minutes, if the oysters are larger, the steaming time can be extended to 10 minutes.
Shucked oysters
3 minutes or so.
Shucked oysters, because there is no hard shell to block, the oyster meat can be directly in contact with the water vapor, the ripening speed will be faster, the protein is easy to denaturation, the general water after the boil and then steam for about 3 minutes.
2 How to judge the oysters steamed steamed oysters in the shell

Oysters in the shell
Oyster meat is usually white, steamed oyster meat will become lighter in color, and there is a more pronounced smell of freshness, generally this oyster more that has been steamed.
3 Steaming oysters with cold water or hot water
Cold water is better.
Steaming oysters with hot water steaming words although the time is relatively short, but oysters are rich in protein content, with hot water directly steam will let the protein quickly solidified, will lead to the reduction of its nutritional value, and oysters fishy taste will be relatively heavy; and cold water steaming oysters, which will slowly penetrate into the oyster meat, so that steamed oysters meat will be more tender, more moisture.
4 Steamed oysters the easiest way
Practice:
1, take the right amount of fresh oysters, will be its shell brush clean.
