We really just have one goal - to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.

If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin - then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.

Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

Just watched like 10 YouTube 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

[sharonclement]

I am 70 n love scallops, live in N.Eng coast n don't know how to cook scallops, so now know n thank you so much. Yum. And it was so easy.

[TrumpIsAmericaSKIDMARK]

Salt pepper garlic powder. Sea scallops, dap dry room temperature. Olive oil n butter. Hot pan. Done! Yum yum 👍🏼💙

[debbieallen]

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?

[danielsantacruz]

Me every time I’m home alone pretending to make a tutorial video when all I’m making is eggs

[jymaette]

This is exactly what I needed last night. Cooked scallops for the first time. They came out perfectly. Thank you for the excellent video

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

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

[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.

[mooretraveldovacations]

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

[kimberlyhayes]

I've ruined SO MANY scallops and now after watching this video I have made the most amazing scallops EVER. Thank you

[FalconEye]

POV: you just saw Hell’s Kitchen, and wanted to know what’s the deal with scallops

[cristiangomezmontt]

Gordon Ramsay: "Sam!"
Sam: "Yes Chef!"
Gordon: "Scallops cooked beautifully. Service please!"

3:34 when you thought the other side didn’t cook 😂😂😂

[marge]

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!!

Out of about 10 videos i watched this was the most informative and helpful.

[erickahalsey]

I had no idea it was this easy. I’m in love with scallops! Definitely feel confident now thank you!

[vinnie]

Wow I love your technique and knowledge… I’m doing my first scallops, cant wait thanks to you. 😊

[zeef]

Now we must address the pan. "Hello pan". Those look great to me.
