How long to cook scallops

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 3:00

What size?

How dark a crust?

Dry them properly first. A wet scallop steams and never browns.

How to tell without a timer

Out of the pan now — they keep cooking in it.

How it goes

  1. Down in a hot dry pan. Do not touch them.
  2. Flip. Seconds only.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
