Number of servings: 10 appetizers or 4 main course. Using kosher or rock salts to make a bed to hold the oysters during cooking keeps the shells from tipping, spilling savoury juices and also keeps the oysters hot as they go to the table. For presentation, use an oven to table baking pan, which will hold ½ inch of salt.
