What is an oyster knife?

Oyster knife is a knife that was specially designed to open oysters. It is absolute must have if you want to prepare oysters and also helps with other molluscs. Most kitchen stores sell oysters of knives and are often available from fishermen. In general, they are cheap and very easy to take care of them, which makes them a good accessory to kitchen needs.

A well -made oyster knife will have a strong and comfortable handle that is made of non -slip material such as textured silicone.

For the use of an oyster knife, the blade is wedged into the shell very close to the hinge at the narrow end of the shell. Input inward can take some pressure and once the blade penetrates, it is twisted to stimulate the shell to open. After opening the shell, the upper shell can be removed and the oyster knife can be used to cut the muscle strip that maintains the shell attached. Then oysters are ready for consumption or cooking.

Most people recommend that you clean oysters before opening to avoid the transmission of potential dooyster bacteria when you open it.

It is also a very good idea to hold an oyster in a towel when you overthrow it rather than in bare hands. This will protect you from the sharp edges of the shell, along with the shards of shells that can be opened at the opening of SKBrays to break. It will also protect your hand if the blade slips.
