To cook along with us, you’ll need the following ingredients.

He used the larger 12-inch/30cm skillet in this episode. It’s oven-safe and suitable for both indoor cooking and grilling. We tasted those scallops and we agree with Holly - like they’d been on the BBQ, chargrilled to perfection on our little induction hob! An investment you won’t regret!
