99% sure you posted the technique even if you don't do it.

Just remember to use a REAL Pyrex bowl. We all know how that turned out when I didn't.

I recall the error of your ways!

I guess I could have posted a method, but I’ve never done it myself that I can recall. I was stovetop until oven.

I want the oyster flavor, but don’t want the oysters floating around. Traditionally, I’d add oyster liquor and not the actual oysters, but I don’t live 5 minutes from a shucking house anymore. So I quarter each oyster and cook em with everything else. They pretty much disappear, leaving only the flavor behind.

I don’t want lightly cooked, decorative oysters slipped into the gumbo at the last minute. I want the flavor, not necessarily the appearance or any single succulent oysters on the spoon.

I definitely make gumbo and chili more when it's cold, but I make both year round.

One of my favorite gumbos as a kid was goose and crab. Amazing flavor!

Bring it up to a hard simmer, add the oysters. I do add my liquor from the oyster while my juice is cooking.

I just tore up some French Onion soup that seared the top of my mouth a few days ago, 95 degrees outside at the time.
