Oysters are processed into many delicious dishes. However, cleaning and separating the oyster shells before processing is a difficult task for most people. Especially for women, separating oysters takes a lot of cooking time. So is there a way to quickly and simply separate the shells of raw milk oysters to make it less difficult for women? The answer is yes – all will be revealed below.
How to clean whole milk oysters
To clean oysters, we have 3 methods. For housewives, they often use a brush to clean them. This is a traditional method used by many people. Washing oysters takes a lot of time, so for businesses and restaurants, high-pressure sprayers are often used. For large enterprises specializing in the production and processing of large oysters such as Bavabi, neither of the above methods can be optimized. Therefore, another way to save time and bring more efficiency is to use an oyster washer.

After buying oysters, you should soak them in clean water for about 2 hours. This will help soften the mud layer on the outside of the oysters, making it easier to clean the oysters.
After soaking the oysters for enough time, take them out and use a large brush to scrub them. Start rubbing from the oyster’s stem to the oyster’s mouth along the curved lines on the shell to clean. While rubbing, rinse the oyster under running water to remove all the mud on the outside. This is also the most popular method and is suitable for households that buy oysters for processing.
For businesses, people often use a high-pressure spray nozzle (car wash machine) to quickly spray the mud on the outside of the oyster. This method can be sprayed in large quantities and saves more water.
How to peel raw milk oysters with an air fryer or microwave
Separating and prying open the oyster shell is an extremely difficult and arduous process. Especially for those who have never prepared oysters. There are many different ways to peel oyster shells. Nowadays, to save time, women often use an air fryer or microwave to separate oyster shells.
This is how to separate live milk oyster shells with heat. In addition, if your family does not have the above tools, you can use boiling water or a charcoal stove.
Just put the oysters in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and the oysters will open their shells. Once the oysters have opened their shells, we just need to separate them with our hands. This method of separating oysters is often applied to rock oysters, making the separation process easier while still retaining the nutritional value.
Splitting oysters with heat will be very easy. However, the common problem with the method of separating oysters with heat is that the oysters will be cooked. This oyster can only be grilled or cooked into porridge, this method is suitable for women with weak legs and arms.
How to open oyster shells by hand
The method of using force to open oyster shells is quite laborious and time-consuming. However, in return, we will have oysters that are opened but still fresh and delicious without losing their nutrients. To open oysters by using force, we need to use a large knife weighing about 300g to 500g to do it easily. How to separate the shell of a live milk oyster:
- After cleaning, place the oyster on a cutting board and turn the oyster belly up, then use the back of the knife to firmly chop the oyster shell stem 1.5 to 2cm from the bottom of the stem.
- To separate the 2 shell layers or break the gap, you can insert the tip of the knife to pry.
- The oyster belly is usually the part of the oyster that is sold into the object, the shell is thin, small, and flat. After cutting the shell, use the tip of the knife to insert into the slit of the oyster shell and split it strongly to separate the two shells.
- Pick up a sharp piece of oyster shell from the previous one to cut the muscle layer of the two shells. Pay attention to cutting the belly shell and take the intact back shell for processing!
- Rinse with clean water to remove all the tiny shell pieces that have been splashed in.
Note when prying open the oyster shell, avoid letting the knife tip touch the oyster meat. This will break the water belly of the oyster, making the oyster dry and less sweet. The oyster shell is sharp, so you need to wear gloves to avoid injury when prying open the oyster shell.
