Things You'll Need
- 3 dozen oysters
- 1 cup water
- Cocktail sauce
- Horse radish
- Lemon wedges
- 17 by 12 inch roasting pan
- Heavy duty tinfoil
- Tongs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the roasting pan on the bottom shelf of the oven until it is very hot.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and quickly fill it with 3 dozen scrubbed oysters and 1 cup of water, then cover the pan tightly with heavy-duty foil.
-
Return the pan to the oven and roast the oysters until the shells just begin to open (about 1/16 inch). This takes about 10 minutes.

Serve the oysters as they open, removing them with tongs, and roast any unopened oysters a few minutes longer, covered with foil. Discard oysters that do not open.
-
Serve with your favorite condiments; horse radish, cocktail sauce and lemon wedges are good choices.
