Stop Opening Oysters Wrong-Do This Instead 

I went to a small diner in a fishing town on the east coast and HAD to order the oyster pot I didn't know what I was in for but it was a blast!

Operative word: lever! Up and down. Use the knife to pry open the top. Thanks for this!!

Not up and down. That will break some knives on stronger shells. Turn like a doorknob or set of keys to unlock the two shells.

I use those cloth gloves with the thick rubber grip/coating. It helps and I have been hired to open oysters for parties

Thanks I didn't know that❤

A lot of shuckers have a guard and tend to be better than the thin knife blade, and when you have to open a hundred of them in an order, trust me, muscle helps.

Meh, I prefer oyster knives with a bit more of a guard... Especially as a beginner you're going to tend to slip on occasion, and having a bit more of a guard really does help with that... Beyond that, not all oysters are the same and like to be opened at the same point, and the more you mess around, the more shell fragments you'll end up having in your oyster... Yes, there are some tricks to it, but all in all it's just something that takes a bit of practice...

I feel like this ignores the fact that cheap oysters often fall apart at the hinge and you need to basically hammer a new hinge into the shell to get them open.

My dad liked raw oysters. I really wanted to try them...I just could not force myself to put that huge lump of sno...oyster in my mouth.

You can have a towel and hold the oyster and you'd the knife not at the triangle side but at where it opens. It's easier and that's where the oyster is shut close. Once the knife is in. Scrap the top and it is done. Alot easier than this method

Are they still alive while you slurp them? If you bite down, do they squirm?

Bring out the chain mail 😮

can you eat oysters without cooking it? I'm from Bangladesh we don't have oysters to eat here so I'm curious

"Did i do that every time?" "(I did)"

Whos gonna bring an oyster knife and a hand towel to a party

my grandma used to slam them on the table and they would open somehow😂

“Did I do that right?” IDK. But did you Cutknive yourself?

Oyster knif uwu

Who is opening oysters at home?

damn so many steps rules and requirements just to open an oyster, people just bust it open clean and good with regular knife here haha

That's exactly how I open oysters, thanks though.

Not first

Best method: toss them nasty things right into the trash

use your teeth, simple

Brothers and sisters, God and Saviour Jesus Christ is Life, have faith in Him alone as He is the One who forgives all our sins as He was Born Holy and is Fully Man and Fully God and without sin and is without sin and He Died on the Cross for forgiveness of our sins and rose from death on third day . God bless you. He is coming soon. Who only has faith in Him will be saved. Just Repent of your sins, yes we cannot get out of sin on our own efforts but HOLY SPIRIT helps us and remove the sin from us. pray to God daily. Not by our works but by Grace of God through faith we can be saved. No other way to Heaven but only one way that is Jesus Christ. Thank you Brothers and Sisters.
