How to Make Perfect Scallops | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@ThatOneRockerGuy]

Just watched like 10 KZbin videos on cooking scallops and you're the first guy to actually tell us how long on each side.

I will never forget working in a restaurant and tasting the scallops. They smelled so great until I couldn’t breath after the first bite. Lmao and that’s how I found out I was allergic to scallops

[@Shane-un8pe]

And you're here watching videos on how to cook em? You planning on testing your allergy again?

[@asiginaakmiigwaan9200]

Hold up! How does one know if they're allergic?? I'm not allergic to fish , so am I good??

[@debbieallen8396]

Thank you. Just brought some home. Can't wait. And thanks for the tip about butter and olive oil. Butter for the flavor, olive oil to prevent burning. FACE PALM! Who knew?

[@padrebamb]

Debbie Allen : you can also use clarified butter (ghee) alone. It has a higher smoke point than butter & olive oil

[@adriansvarela]

Same! This made a huge difference in my mind

[@cgirl111]

I've pretty much substituted avocado oil for olive oil in my cooking. Much higher smoke point. Olive oil is now relegated to dressings and after cooking drizzle.

[@ericd.4460]

Yeah, but after someone else said that about the oil keeping the butter from burning, I Googled it to see if it was actually true, and it said that it's not true, that the oil has no impact on the butter burning.

[@pH7screwtube]

@@padrebamb < - - - Good advice, but still, it can smoke if you are on high.

[@Ena48145]

Scallops are probably my favorite seafood. I have an entire tray full of sea scallies waiting in the fridge for me to cook up tomorrow for my mom's birthday. I forgot how expensive they are, but hey, she's worth it ten times over. I know she'll be telling me I shouldn't have. Thank you for reminding me to bring them up to room temperature.. I completely forgot and none of these other videos from other people reminded me!! I know this is older, but beautiful, simple video as always. Best tutorial on here

[@Za-bo3wg]

Hope you cooked them again for her this year❤️

[@CudavidO1123]

Sam, I have been critical, but this is one of your best. No Max chit-chat and complete focus on the cooking. Much appreciated!

[@marge201]

Made 8 more luscious Sam scallops tonight. Used sesame oil this time. Got no sesame flavor interestingly. Ran out of EVOO. After adding the pat of butter and a small swig of oil, I mixed in 1/8t pepper and 1/2t garlic powder and swished the seasoned combo around the pan as it continued to heat up. I got the wonderful "it's time" noise when I put the first scallop in and each one after. Got the "it's done" look after under 2M, flipped them, and cooked them maybe 30 seconds too long but still GREAT. Not aware of the seasoning so I'll double it next time. Apparently no one looks at this page, so for now, it's my little diary. So glad I discovered Sam!!

[@mooretravel2dovacations13]

I use YOUR teaching lesson All the time when I cook scallops. You have saved me a ton of money at seafood restaurant. I now make them at Chez Moore. Covid doesn't stop my fine dining

[@brez9091]

Here is a man who knows how to cook scallops. Keeps it simple. We in Maas/ME/NH get a chuckle when we hear his pronunciation of scallop. But we talk funny. Thank you for the nice video, to share.

[@KBWeeds]

I just made these and they were DELICIOUS! So light and flavorful. Instead of sesame chili oil I drizzled them with a little Japanese BBQ sauce. Perfection! My only misstep was not rinsing them in water first to remove any sand or shell. Second scallop was beyond gritty and had bits of shell on it. It was to the point I was scared I might crack my tooth.

[@lynnwilhoite6194]

Yep! I cooked some tonight, (Monday night) DELICIOUS! This is my first time cooking scallops, and my second time eating them. My first time, they were mushy and distasteful, so I never had them again. 13 years later after watching many scallops cooked on Hell's Kitchen and other cooking videos, I decided to try fresh scallops. This recipe was the simplest to follow, I don't regret it, they were lovely and I shall eat them every chance I get. 😊

[@burningneutron6884]

Nice. Been wanting to try scallops for the first time because I keep seeing them on Gordon Ramsey. Bought a couple of the "sea" scallops for the wife and I to cook with supper (baked fish and shrimp). Followed your method because it came up and they turned out great. We've decided we like them and will be eating them again. Thank you.

[@paulrollings9606]

Great video. A superb approach to cooking scallops. I've usually only witnessed these being cooked whilst soaked in cream and various other products added to create a thick and creamy sauce dish which has always put me off from eating scallops. Attempted YOUR approach here recently and the results were out of this world - fantastic. Thank you for the guidance. Great video upload by the way. The simplicity of this episode definitely appealed to me.

Oh, boy, mine looked like Sam's and were amazing. Put 8 frozen in a bowl and left in fridge for 24 hours. Drained the water and laid out on a kitchen towel and somewhat squeezed. After that towel was completely wet, I put them on a fresh kitchen towel, folded them, and let sit for 30 or 40 minutes to get them dryer and room temp. Then turned on skillet for a short while and put a pat of butter in the pan and when melted poured a small amount of EVOO. I forgot to season them. Layered 8 in the pan and watched them. Started getting that "look" in a minute or two and when they looked like Sam's, I flipped them and turned the timer to 1 minute and let cook a little past that until they passed the Sam test. Cut them in half one at a time while I devoured them. SO GOOD!!! My friend said I should put the salt, pepper and garlic powder into the oil mixture and also a little lemon juice. I'll leave out the salt. Will do that next time. Oh man, so good. Thanks, Sam!!

I then add make a lemon garlic pan sauce sooo fricking good

[@markszyszkiewicz]

My first attempt at making scallops was a "Big Y" recipe using toasted sesame seeds, fresh ground black pepper and hoison sauce. Tasty but chewy. 2-3 minutes per side in butter. Then my wife and I visited Storrowton Tavern & Carriage House in Springfield MA, I tried their sea scallops and they were to die for. So I tried to cook them at home without any special ingredients but still wasn't satisfied. Chewy. Then I went to George's by the Sea in Narragansett, RI. Tried theirs...utterly fantastic! I was wondering what I was doing wrong. Thanks for revealing the secrets here. Higher heat, mix of butter and olive oil, shorter cooking time. Now I know.

A chef in Gordon Ramsay's restaurant got yelled at by the man himself for cooking scallops the way Sam did (a little too much brown on the scallops). And i'm quoting GR here "You do not want to serve customers overcooked scallops." So who knows, these things are subjective but to me they all just look delicious

[@iCircleKi]

If the pan is hot enough you can get a dark brown crust and med rare on the inside. Just gotta have the btus to back it up baby!

[@wilakt4fud]

also, Ramsay's in technique, he cuts the scallops in half, so they cook really fast-- and you go from perfect to ruined in about 10 seconds.

I used to not like scallops until I started cooking them. This is a perfect recipe. I usually add the juice of half a lemon and top it off with zest. However salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you really need for the seasoning for them to come out amazing like in the video.

If you would like to Fargo the olive oil make yourself some clarified butter. It cooks at a lot higher temp then plane butter without smoking. I think it starts to smoke at around 400. I use it when I make scallops and when I do filet mignon and when I do both together! Also the clarified butter keeps a lot longer. If you try it let us know how you like it.
