In the Kitchen with Ken: Seared Scallops

[Amanivajra]

I didn't understand why all the vicious comments until I watched this. Butter + Bacon = seriously?!!

[thisheadofmine]

Looks delicious!! I'm about to favorite this!!

[dracolnyte]

this is why women should stay in the kitchen

[bryanlovescongas]

Mix olive oil and butter to give a higher cook rate so as not to have the butter burn. Positive points instead of nasty obscene language is better people. Thanks Ken and keep on keeping on.

[celeryg66]

I feel something closing!!!

Oh year, my arteries

[Tempestni02]

those scallops will turn into a stinking buttery mess

[gsarjos]

With all that liquid your not searing, your poaching

[Tempestni02]

@gsarjos was just about to type that loool

[frantahouska]

who cooks with fucking butter?

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska Every reputable chef in France, for starters.

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn You are mistaken. Clarified butter something else. Only fat fucks in US and A cook with butter. OLIVE OIL is the mainstream in the world.

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska Go buy a French cookbook. Start with The Joy of French Cooking, by Julia Child. It's all about butter, whether it's clarified or not. "If you're afraid of butter, use cream.” ― Julia Child

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn Julia Child (great cook btw) is long time dead. ITS year 2011. There are new trends. Butter is not one of them. Unless yo uare fat american of course.

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska It's not about butter vs olive oil. They've each got their proper place. It's about moderation. Only an idiot would think that one completely replaces the other. Try making a Bearnaise, a Hollandaise or a Beurre Blanc with olive oil. And then get back to me.

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn this video is not about Hollandaise sauce isnt it? Generally speaking for sauteing butter is not used because of the very low smoke point and flash point. d of course HIGH cholesterol !

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska You brought the thread in the direction of butter, which is a critical component to many classic sauces, including Hollandaise, Bearnaise and many others. As for smoke point, that's why you CLARIFY butter, you dumbass. It raises the smokepoint to 485F.

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn Do you see any clarified butter in this video?

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska I see a douchebag whining about it. Does that count?

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn ok fatso. you finally lost  argument.go eat some greasy hamburger grilled on the BUTTER.case closed/

[Litawyn]

@frantahouska You even cry like a helpless little bitch.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska Seriously? You obviously have never cooked food.

[frantahouska]

@belenbutt Darling, educate your self about healthy food cooking. At 16 yo udont know shit about that. Clarified butter or adding any oil will make this dish much healthy. Now fuck off!

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska Who is even talking about healthy dishes? You just asked "Who the fuck cooks with butter?" and I was trying to tell you that more than half the world including famous chefs use butter to cook, healthy or not. And good job being the mature one here and telling me to "fuck off". get a life.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska and its funny that you're calling Litawyn a "fatso" because he/she knows that almost everyone uses butter to cook. Not just americans. Don't be so ignorant.

[frantahouska]

@belenbutt fuck off troll. there is nothing to argue here anymore.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska Of course I'm the "troll". Get off youtube, no one likes ignorant pricks like you.

[frantahouska]

@belenbutt darling. i have been on the youtube while your father was still spraying you in the sock. Ignorant prick would be you in this case.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska If you had any sense of logic, you would know that that statement makes absolutely no sense, since I'm alive. and I didn't ask how long you've been on youtube (still showing your ignorance, and stupidity), and I'm calling you ignorant because you say only fat americans cook with butter, which is absolute bullshit and you know it.

[frantahouska]

@belenbutt correction : ignorant , fat people from us and a. Rest of the civilized world is using olive oil.Read something about smoke point and flash point then come back.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska No, there is not argument here. Some people cook with butter, others cook with olive oil. There is no arguing that ONLY americans cook with butter, its not logical, and is, in fact, a FUCKING IDIOTIC statement. You should be jailed for your stupidity. BTW look up Julia Child you fucking cunt.

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska Yeah of course you "meant" searing butter. Of course.. thats why you said "who the fuck cooks with butter"... learn to make sense idiot. and what do my mom & dog have to do with this? you're such a moron its really kind of sad. I pity you. and frankly, I'm done with this discussion. You're wrong, I'm right. BYE

[frantahouska]

@frantahouska BTW stay on the point motherfucker. This video is about searing scallops....not about hollandaise sauce etc. You don't cook with butter.. you can add butter for flavor. Or use clarified butter. But never ever cooking with butter. Yeah i know you mom makes scrambled eggs that way i know.. that's fine. But that is not called cooking..

[belenbutt]

@frantahouska you replied to yourself.. FAIL. xD

[Tahlz4life]

theyre huge!!

[chuitz67]

I don't know what people are bitching about.. those scallops looked BOMB xD

[Litawyn]

Scorched Scallops floating in a pool of Bacon Grease.

[chuitz67]

@Litawyn How about you make a video showing everyone how to PROPERLY make scallops, eh?

[Litawyn]

@chuitz67 Because I'm not the one claiming to be a chef, Dumbass.

[chuitz67]

@Litawyn Yeah I'm the dumbass because you're the one criticizing this guy on his cooking when you yourself don't even know how to cook. Why not just shut the fuck up and quit being an ass? OR why not LEARN how to cook, and THEN critique others on their cooking? YEAH LEARN TO MAKE SENSE MORON

[Litawyn]

@chuitz67 No, you're a dumbass because you're a dumbass. Simple as that.

[chuitz67]

@Litawyn You're not even clever enough to come up with an insult. You're an idiot, and I feel sorry for you.

[Litawyn]

@chuitz67 Apparently you're too fucking dumb to realize when you've been insulted. :) Bless your heart.

[belenbutt]

@Litawyn All you do is call me dumb, do you even have reasoning? You're a fucking moron dude. A FUCKING MORON. MY REASONING: You say this guy doesn't know how to cook, yet you yourself has no idea how to cook. THATS FUCKING RETARDED. Thats as if I tell my math teacher that 2+2= 5. Its fucking ignorant and retarded. Get off of youtube, learn how to cook, THEN come talk shit to random strangers on youtube. And again, I didn't even start a fight. All I said was to show us how to properly cook. ass

[Litawyn]

@belenbutt  Do I have "any reasoning" for calling you dumb? Of course. My theory is that both of your parents are profoundly retarded.

Yes, that's my final answer.

[belenbutt]

@Litawyn You're not even making sense in the argument anymore. I'm done with this conversation. God help you.

[Litawyn]

@belenbutt I'm sorry you've been made a fool of.  Cheers!

[belenbutt]

@Litawyn Yeah okay.. quit being so immature. I was actually going to apologize for arguing so much because I realized the REAL moron in this situation is frantahouska, who says cooking with butter is for fat americans... Wow..

[Litawyn]

@belenbutt By the way, if you check out the majority of clips on YouTube about searing scallops, you'll discover that the vast majority use butter (clarified or not) to give the scallops the proper brown sear. Don't want to take my word for it? Take theirs.

[belenbutt]

@Litawyn Who doesn't know that? you can cook scallops in olive oil too. Its all a matter of preference.

[Litawyn]

@belenbutt  You could probably cook them in motor oil, too. My point is that the preferred way of searing scallops by the vast majority of chefs is with butter (clarified or not) and NOT olive oil. They simply caramelize better in a little butter.

[belenbutt]

@Litawyn So it IS just a matter of preference... god people are retarded. Excuse me for being an ass before. (I'm not being sarcastic) I fucking hate youtube fights.

[frantahouska]

@Litawyn WTF did you just say? scallops are CARAMELIZING IN BUTTER? WTF ,man. you really are retard! Preferred way of searing scallops is in no way butter! you don't sear anything in the butter retard! smoke point and flash point... repeat to yourself!

[chova1123]

You are boiling scallops not searing them. What a disaster

[KrazeDiamond]

This Hobbit just destroyed the scallops and he acts if it tastes fantastic. Lool

[vukodlake]

Those shrooms and bacon look burned - tbh...

[kouta4000]

@vukodlake you look burnt

[vukodlake]

@kouta4000

and your are not constructive ;)

those shrooms and bacon definately got to much heat - i dunno why he mixed strong flavoured ingredients with scallops in first place. with bacon and shrooms, you won't taste anything else cept bacon and shrooms.

scallops have a mild and special flavor (maritime).

[kouta4000]
