ChefSteps Do you not season your scallops? Does the salt draw out too much water?

When he sliced the scallops it IS perfect! No slight pinkiness - it's all solid white :)

[bradharrison]

yes they are my favourite to cook and eat as well.

Sorry. Reminds me of Hell's Kitchen. "easiest thing to cook in the world"

"IT'S RAW!!! IT'S OVER COOKED!! IT'S RAW!!! IT'S OVERCOOKED!!!" (throws scallop across the kitchen and everywhere.)

What would the procedure for sous vide scallops be like, or would that be impractical as it takes so little time to cook on the stove top?

Ive loved your videos for a long time and i actually have a question. ive loved cooking ever since i was young and soon im heading off to college. now ive never actually wanted to go to college ive always wanted to be a chef but my family would not approve of my going to culinary school without a degree. i was wondering if you think it would be worth it to finish college and get a degree but go to culinary school as soon as im finished? i would love help, amazing videos btw they're extreamy creative and fun to watch.

YAAASSSssss! Love em! Hate it when people over cook them.

[brendansmith]

I half expected you to say "sous vide" 😂

[thatdudebro]

next time on chefsteps: we sous vide our sous vide

[christianlnningdal]

The reason they get overcooked on Hell's Kitchen is because the chefs have so much things to do, they aren't fast enough to cook the scallops perfectly AND prepare everything else. There you have it, guys.

[bloodtiger]

at what temperature do you cook these?
love ur vids :)

[lillithdv]

Mmmmh, I love my saint-jacques with a beurre citronné, un vrai délice!

[MinhPham-zqrb]

when he said "perfect every time" i really thought that this would be another sous vide video

[SoloC]

What pan that you are using, can you teach us how to season

[ashlon]

What if they are smaller scallops? Would it be shorter in searing time?
