How To Microwave Oysters
- 1). Wash and scrub the raw oysters under cold running water.
- 2). Arrange the oysters on a microwave-safe plate or casserole dish. If you are cooking a dozen or so, arrange them around the perimeter of the plate first, then place a few in the center.
- 3). Microwave on high for 3 minutes for a dozen oysters. Rotate the plate.
- 4). Microwave for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the shells pop open. If you are cooking just a few oysters, the total cooking time will be around 3 minutes.
