Description

Reheating scallops in the air fryer is a fantastic way to bring back their delicious flavor and tender texture. Whether you have leftover scallops from a previous meal or want to enjoy them again, this method ensures they come out perfectly heated and ready to savor.

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 pound scallops, leftovers, previously cooked

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Arrange Scallops: Place the leftover scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even reheating.
  • Reheat: Put the scallops in the preheated air fryer and reheat for 3-5 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your scallops and the air fryer's wattage. Start with 3 minutes and check for doneness.
  • Check Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the scallops. They should reach a minimum internal temperature of 125-130°F (52-54°C). Avoid overcooking to maintain their tenderness.
  • Serve Immediately: Once the scallops reach the desired temperature, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes or sauces.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Notes:
  • Keep a close eye on the scallops during reheating to prevent overcooking, as they can become rubbery if heated for too long.
  • If you're reheating a larger quantity of scallops, work in batches to ensure even heating.
  • The suggested temperature and time are guidelines. Adjust them based on your specific air fryer model and the initial temperature of the scallops.
Enjoy your perfectly reheated scallops with the wonderful taste and texture they deserve!
