Critical Success Points

  • Removing the side muscle and membrane cleanly.
  • Patting the scallops completely dry before searing.
  • Ensuring the pan is very hot before the scallops touch it.
  • Timing the sear to achieve a golden crust while keeping the interior medium‑rare.

Safety Warnings

  • Scallops are delicate; handle with a sharp knife to avoid slipping.
  • Hot oil can splatter – keep face away and use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Do not overcook; overcooked scallops become rubbery.
