Cook's Notes
To prevent the burlap bags from scorching during cooking, soak them in water for several hours; Donald uses a galvanized tub to hold the large bags. You can also roast the oysters over a large gas or charcoal grill; place them in a roasting pan, and cover with aluminum foil. To steam oysters, cook them in a large stockpot filled with about one inch of water for about ten minutes over high heat.
