Why Did The Milk Curdle In My Oyster Stew?
The milk curdled in your oyster stew because of the high acid content in the oysters. When acid is added to milk or cream, it causes the proteins in the dairy to denature and clump together, forming curdles. To prevent this from happening in the future, try adding the oysters towards the end of the cooking process and don’t overheat the milk or cream.
