Tsk tsk horrible way to open them ;)
First..pour on hot water and quickly drain to prevent accidental cooking. This will slightly open that tiny weeny hole. Way safer for the fingers or better to the hand.
2ndly, either way of chilling them is fine..the quicker the better.
I will try that :)
Pls do..otherwise we will miss all these lovely posts you're making due to some oyster you were murdering.let's save those fingers shall we not?
haha yeah!
