Fantastic!! Can’t wait to try it

[@JoshuaLRay]

Love your scallops! From that satellite Guy. You just don't (see scallops) everywhere but I wish. If I could harvest sea scallops I would be happy with my life I think. From the restaurant or the home. God bless you and your scallop cooking.

[@jerryturner2310]

Scallops are another favorite of mine. While I'm cooking the salmon this weekend the way your video instructs, I will also try the scallops.

[@zaccomusic]

amazing content friend

[@ChefPonzio]

Thank you so much!

[@stevenheiniger3166]

What’s your timing on each side?

[@ChefPonzio]

It’s only 5-6 minutes on one side until they are golden brown and then once they are flipped only a minute or so on the other.

[@karenvelez3023]

I am 62. I can’t write recipes down fast. Do you have a website with the printable recipes?

[@nicholasponzio991]

Awesome! Excited to try it! We live scallops! 😍

[@ChefPonzio]

I am excited to see how they come out!

[@walterh5672]

Chef Michael, I can't believe the first thing you didn't tell people is if you want a perfectly seared scallop is to avoid scallops that have been treated/injected with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), which causes the scallops to absorb and retain alot of moisture, before being frozen for sale. This perevents from a good sear. It is called DRY vs WET scallops... and there are alot of wet scallops out in the market. Buy DRY.

[@LifeHacks-ut4pc]

Need a nice sauce for the scallops.

[@bettybrann8341]

Did Oceanside win in yesterdays maine basketball tourney

[@tiffanyferguson937]

Do all scallops have sand

[@ChefPonzio]

The only time I have come across sand in the scallops is when I buy them in the shell

[@clairecool7195]

How many minutes?

[@alesha77777]

What kind of oil?

[@ChefPonzio]

Sorry for the late reply. I use a blend of olive oil and canola oil (1:3). But you can use straight olive oil if you prefer. That is what I do at home

[@alesha77777]

@@ChefPonzio thanks!

I know you have high quality fish purveyors that supply the Union League Club but where would you recommend regular shmoes like me to buy fish in a land locked state like IL? Should we go to The Fish Guy or Dirk's or is Jewel and Mariano's good enough in your opinion? I heard a rumor that all the fish at Jewel and regular grocers were all frozen at one point. Do you know if this is true? And specifically for scallops I know frozen ones can carry a lot of moisture and I generally only use them for cioppino or a chowder but where should I buy those fresh? Sorry for all the questions but I'm curious. Maybe you could just do a video of you checking out the merchandise when the purveyor delivers your order or even at a market to show what to look for before you buy fish, meat or even ripeness of produce.

[@ChefPonzio]

I actually do not know if that is true. I recommend supreme lobster to people. It is in the western burbs on north avenue. They are on of our vendors at the club and have beautiful seafood. Especially when it comes to clams, mussels and octopus!

[@ChefPonzio]

I get my scallops from them too

[@MustangSallys68Ride]

This is going to be my first time

[@cmdavis11940]

I LOVE scallops! I think when I make them, my mistake is not making sure they are super dry. This might be a game changer!

[@ChefPonzio]

That is my trick to all seafood. It gives off so much water during the initial seat that you have to dry it out or your seafood will be over cooked before there is any opportunity for proper caramelization

[@Misstonyah]

Best tip ever.

[@dbkfrogkaty1]

I do like scallops. I buy mine at a our local Asian market. They are fresh and not frozen. I cook mine in a cast iron pan or a carbon steel pan. Just salt and pepper, olive oil, butter, and a bit of garlic.

[@territhomas4654]

I’ve been making scallops this way for a long time - it’s a method even more than it is a recipe and once you have it down you’ll be spoiled for life! And while I agree that you can use a non-stick pan if you must, I don’t think it works as well to get that beautiful char. I cook mine in a cast iron skillet and I get amazing results. Also it’s hard to find U10’s in such good condition. We’ve grown accustomed to the cracks lol. Question: are you adding salted or unsalted butter to the pan?

[@ChefPonzio]

I use unsalted butter.

[@Missi-Forensic-Astrology]

[@thesuicidewalrus415]

OK. Here we go...

[@DudesGourmet]

great recipe chef! these look great... check out the ones i just made on my page!

[@Febrinasvlogs]

Oh my. MY scallop smell bad. Should I throw them away?

[@ChefPonzio]

I am just seeing this, sorry. I hope everything turned out ok.

[@paulineneterval9609]

The last time I cooked 2 large thick scallops, they seemed to be seared perfectly and the inside was the beautiful white inside like this video. Had part of a ribeye on the side. Just under 3 hrs later, I got really sick 🤢🤢 idk. I'm guessing the scallops may have been too thick and they weren't done inside all the way?? They looked and tasted amazing. It wasn't the steak. I ate that the next evening. Saw this video and watched Gordon Ramsay video of cooking scallops. I haven't eaten scallops since!😥 I have part of a New York strip to cook up. I'd like to try a scallop, but don't want to get sick again.

[@yubemful]
