Review of Food Guru Video Podcast - Overcooked scallops and bad

Overcooked scallops and bad combinations

☆

“Just watched a few episodes of this "Food Guru" He's teaching some huge mistakes that can ruin very good and expensive food. For example, he had these nice looking scallops, seared them beautifully then told the view to cover and let simmer for 5 minutes! OMG, that will steam them and the scallops will be totally overcooked, all the juice will come out of the scallop and they'll turn rubbery. Then after this he makes a cream sauce with chocolate!!! and dumps it over the scallops. Seafood and chocolate!?! Chef Gordon Ramsay among others would tear into him and I would spit that out and have to wash my mouth out with plenty of water. I watched another scallop episode where he put them into a pan with loads of other ingredients and a huge amount of liquid then cover and simmer. Once again this will massively overcook those huge sea scallops and they'll turn out overcooked and rubbery. Yet another episode (Chicken Wellington) started out good, nice ingredients, then a huge amount of cheese (that's cool) then he added this huge glob of mayonaise! I can just imagine how overpowering the taste of the mayo would be, so much it would be near impossible to taste anything else. Unbelievable, couldn't eat anything for an hour or two after watching this.”
