Just one trick if you want to caramelize and not overcook: try grapeseed oil instead of olive oil. The grapeseed oil also imparts less flavor than olive, which is good...you don't want these to taste like olive oil, you want scallop flavor. The grapeseed oil browns fast, then flip. Once you flip, put butter in the pan with a sprig of fresh thyme. When the butter melts down, side 2 will be done. Remove and plate. Voila. Simple. The secret ingredient: grapeseed oil instead of olive oil.
@medqua since you're not going to use the fond for deglazing in this recipe, nonstick is best, but it shouldn't matter too much with the amount of oil chef is using.
oilve oil has a low smoking point which means the oil will starts smoking and darken as soon as it reaches certain degree. This in turn gives bitter flavor to whatever you cook in the pan!
@john656656 ......john are you kidding me?......by the time oil smokes the scallops should be way done......smoke point wont even happen . USE OLIVE OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD
After he instructed us not to move these Scallops, he moved them no less than 5 times (that we saw on camera). Fail.
