 Bruce Martin (Delaware) says:
Ahhhhh. I looked up 'Braised' scallops. This recipe is for a saute preparation. Braising is a method I need to learn. Yes, I have tried, but not to my satisfaction. I use cast iron base and heat it hot. Just need to learn or acquire the proper level of heat of the pan.
