Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Poach the oysters (cleared of their beards) in their own liquor, which should have been carefully collected when opening them.
  2. Clean their hollow shells, and place them on a tray covered with a layer of salt one-half inch thick.
  3. Garnish them with Béchamel;
  4. upon the latter, in each shell, lay an oyster decked with a slice of truffle;
  5. cover with the same sauce;
  6. besprinkle with grated Parmesan and melted butter, and set to glaze quickly.
  7. Serve immediately.
