What's your favorite way to cook scallops?

@paulwagner688 2 года назад

Dry pan, rub a tiny bit of oil on the scallops themselves, salt and pepper.

@baroose67 2 года назад

Raw right out of the shell. Or seared a bit over the BBQ if I have to cook them.

@streetassasinGSR96 Год назад

Set scallops on a wire drying rack/cooling rack. Let them dry out. Take the most fresh local smoked bacon and throw that in a pan with pork rub.. cook bacon until almost crispy. Pull bacon from pan or griddle, and add butter to browned rub and bacon grease, and add scallops for literally a min each side. Pull scallops, and take two half pieces of bacon and make an x over the scallop and stab with toothpick. Enjoy!!!

@cleterjabe7558 9 месяцев назад

Cast iron skillet, kept at 450, "dry" dry scallops, 2 mins per side in thin layer of either peanut or avocado oil. Done to perfection. Expect to spend close to $30/lb today (2023) for U10 (jumbos). Worth the price, if you like a sea delicacy

@tyleyden8695 2 года назад

High heat with olive oil. Once hot...1:30 on the first side..flip. 1:00 on the next and you're dunno. Just make sure you start that timer before you set the first one in and you place them one by one in a clockwise position so you know when its time to flip for the last minute. Melt butter for dipping (garlic optional).. feast.

@GodfreyMann Год назад

3:06 there’s no problem using butter but only as an adjunct oil for taste not cooking…in other words add the butter 20-30 secs before they’re done and baste the scallops in the butter. This basting and short exposure time to heat will ensure the butter doesn’t burn.

@aprilstorm Год назад

I agree, that’s what I do, I never use clarified butter because it has no flavor at all..

@druegillis1744 2 года назад

Scallops, cooked right are heavenly.

@cgravelle4937 Год назад

I like to cook so many things putting butter and olive oil in a pan. It is also very tasty to put scallops in flour. I put some flour in a jar and add garlic powder , salt and pepper and shake the jar to cover the scallops. The scallops turn out delicious and have a nice brown seared finish to them. then you can make a,nice white sauce add garlic , cream and Some cheese if desired. You do not need to use any alcohol. I never drink alcohol so I do not miss that flavor.

@beachbum4691 9 месяцев назад

Butter will get you into trouble given that it has one of the lowest smoke points at about 170-C about the same as olive oil (and most of the other oils) Gee which is butter with its dairy components removed has a smoke point of about 270-C = producing an easy predictable triumph every single time. It really is about having oil with a very very very high smoke point at least a start the scallops; having put in 6/12 well separated scallops because they take the heat out of the pan very quickly you can always turn the heat down until you get a bit of colour and are able to turn them over.

@debbiereilly900 2 года назад

Best way go cook to proper doneness is use an instant read thermometer like a Thermoworks and pull them at 140°F. Perfect every time.

@kenfourey-jones3121 2 года назад

Never seen such boring seafood, l live in the uk and have the benefit of tasing the most mouthwatering scallops from Kirkcudbright in Scotland. I would never want to eat a scallop without the coral! Most of us in Europe eat all of the Scallop, not just the heart. Agree with not over cooking but cook with garlic on a slow heat in oil and butter for no more than 5 minutes! Awesome! They are so rich. Who wants to go to a restaurant?

@wendeln92 2 года назад

Seared in clarified butter. Sometimes in restaurants after rinsing in cold water we would soak them in milk for a while - or actually store them in milk for service - which helped add a bit more sweetness and get rid of the chemical taste, dry them off before cooking. The best scallops, and seafood in general, was at places where we would get fresh seafood flown in directly from Boston. Also, do not crowd the pan and cook a few at a time. It always bothered me that in the U.S. they get rid of the red roe from the scallop (female scallops have a red structure as seen at 1:32 and 7:26) I only ever had this when I was in London and was able to have the scallops shucked in front of me and the fish monger kept the roe attached best scallops I ever had!!!!.

@peopleddiagram2920 2 года назад

Well written. As for the red roe, that is the best part of the scallop. Here in NZ, they couldn't be sold without the roe. I couldn't believe it when I went to live in the UK. Not only did they have the roe removed, i saw in the supermarket "Bacon flavoured scallops". You could have knocked me over with a Feather.

@RCSTILE 2 года назад

@joefuentes2977 2 года назад

@RCSTILE 2 года назад

Sounds good, but I'm in DFW and there is no such thing as flown in fresh that morning let alone have a monger shuck them on site.

@druegillis1744 2 года назад

The only time we encountered scallops with the red roe still attached was in Northern Scotland last October. You are right, they were superb!

@JohnJohn-wr1jo 2 года назад

Unless I can buy scallops straight off the boat I pass on them. We love scallops but the last 30 years it has become progressively more difficult to find unadulterated scallops. We always cook them ourselves since most restaurants are clueless to how to cook and serve them. When cooking them we always keep it simple. Butter a little garlic and pepper and sear. One other tip. If u can't buy scallops of the same size/count. Cook them in batches of the same size so they cook uniformally. This seems to be a problem at a lot of restaurants. You end up with half cooked right and the other half overdone because of the variations in size. Nothing like a fresh scallop.

Great video! I see what I've been doing wrong, always been a disaster. I've only gotten properly prepared scallops at 4 star restaurants. So expensive that it's a disaster if they aren't prepared correctly. BTW, those are SEA SCALLOPS. In contrast, bay scallops are not worth buying, they have no taste. Don't waste your money.

@druegillis1744 2 года назад

Adding to the above, they would use a round punch to mimic the shape of scallops. One time I ordered fried scallops and they arrived as little triangular shaped pieces. I confronted the manager, told him I had never seen scallops shaped like that. Didn’t charge me and we never ate there again.
