Scallops on my new toy

Hi54putty · February 22

Haven't posted any pics in a while. My wife gave me a cast iron half moon grill for my birthday. I finally got around to using it. I did scallops for about 30sec/side with a little oil, salt, pepper. Had grilled salad and risotto on the side. Balsamic glaze on top of it all. It was one of the best meals I have had recently.

Also, I got a meat slicer for Christmas and have been wearing out some smokey turkey breast. Wife and kids love it. I threw in one pic of that.

Thanks for looking.

Looks great and a perfect use of the half moon griddle!
=D>

I have been making turkey breasts for lunch meat as well, but am still looking for the right slicer.

Nice sear on those scallops. That's the way it's done! That meal looks scrumptious.

=P~

Well done. I think a half moon griddle is on my ever growing, not neccessary, but effin happening list. Thanks.

Very good! I have that 1/2 moon griddle now I just need some scallops

Hi54putty · February 22

Thanks. I have done fish on it also. Thinking of seeing how hot I can get it for a reverse sear on a steak.

I love scallops and that looks great! I am new to the BGE world, and I had never even heard of the 1/2 moon griddle.

It looks like something I could certainly use.

Nice, love scallops. I have that half moon set up also and last friday I blackened some tuna steaks and they were almost gone when I got in the house. All I heard before I put them on was "I'm not eatin none of that red crap!" Yeah, keep talkin.

Nice looking food. Smoked turkey would be a great go to when there are no left overs.

I finally have my wife on board for the BGE by showing her these pictures. She loves scallops and has been wanting a smoke turkey for a while.

Thanks for the help on selling her!

There have been some slicer threads lately and it's got me started to looking at them too. If you've posted I apologize, but what type did you get and are you happy with it? Thx.

It's hard not to overcook scallops -- your sear looks like you have it down to a science -- i have plenty of CI, but the half moon is on my "NEED" list !! Thanks for posting..

What else would you use a CI griddle for? I have one but have never used it.

Hoow about blackening fish or chicken??

I have used mine for scallops, blackening fish, panini sandwiches, steaks, and burgers using the reverse sear method.

Hi54putty · February 22

The other side has ridges, kind of a "mangrate" vibe going on. I am going to try some burgers with it. The kids want pancakes and eggs of it too.

Thanks for the suggestions. Seared bacon wrapped scallops tonight in a cast iron skillet. Scored serious points with the better half. As always ... Never cook enough.

That's a lovely looking plate. The baslamic sounds tasty!

Hi54putty · February 24

Thanks for the comments. I made turkey burgers on the other side of the half moon last night and they were a big hit. I really like that thing so far.

The scallops look fantastic. Love the sliced turkey too....makes me want to get a slicer.

Howdy, Stranger!
