I melted 2 Tbs of butter in a large sauce pan, then added the oysters and coddled them on very low heat for about 5 minutes, until they start firming up just a bit. Then I added 2 cups of whole milk. I will leave the heat very low and let the mixture heat through very slowly, aobut 10 or 15 min. What does everybody else do? Thanks. Last edited by sse; 02/02/09.

Sorry sse but I think that stuff is nasty. Mike Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor. I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Good luck. I think that her recipe calls for 1 stick of butter and 2 or 3 cans of oysters. She uses 3 diamond brand oysters.

Quote Pan Roast Grand Central 8 freshly opened oysters 2 tablespoons butter, soft 1 tablespoon chili sauce 1 teaspoon Worchstershire sauce A few drops of lemon juice Paprika to taste 1/2 cup heavy cream Boil the oysters with their liquor, one tablespoon of the butter, the chili sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice and paprika, for one minute, stirring constantly Add the cream, return to a boil.

The used a special, small skillet that was made of carbon steel, and rounded on the bottom like a tiny wok. Sam......
