How To Clean Oysters

Name: How To Clean Oysters
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 as much (to taste) Oysters

On a talk show on a local TV station here in Hokkaido, they said that you can wash shucked oysters in 50°C hot water. I tried it out right away and the oysters really became clean. I wanted to share this with everyone, so I uploaded this tip.
I was listening to the program while working, so I filled the gaps based on my own experience.

Regarding the temperature of the water, if you have a thermometer you may want to measure it so that it's 50°C, but if you don't don't worry. Your body temperature is around 36°C, so the water should be hot to the touch. Bath water is around 42°C so use that as a guideline to how hot the water should feel. Recipe by mielle

Steps

1

On the TV program they said 50°C, but that's pretty jot, so I think it's fine if the water is hot enough but you can still put your hands in it.
2

Rinse the frilly parts of the oyster, taking care not to mash the oyster meat (these ugly hands aren't mine, they're my husband's).
3

This much dirt comes off them.
4

Rinse the oysters quickly in ice water with a pinch of salt, then pat dry with paper towels.
5

If you are going to stir fry the oysters, I think you can skip Step 4.

I used to scrub the oysters with katakuriko or grated daikon radish, but I was never sure if it was really cleaning them. But this method really got them clean, so I wanted to share this tip with everyone.
