Cook the live oysters in the oven to slightly steam the muscle and open the shell. Open the shells and remove the oysters, then put them in a pan with milk, half-and-half, butter, cayenne or Tabasco and green onions. The stew does not take very long to cook and can be served with some oyster crackers. When shopping for oysters, purchase live oysters so that freshness is assured. Check each oyster by smacking two together and listening for a hollow sound. If it is hollow, then the oyster is dead and should not be used. If it is open, you will not want to use that oyster either. In this video, Chef Mark provides an online cooking lesson for a flavorful New England oyster stew. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
