Fried scallops

Frying or sautéing delicate products such as vegetables, fish and scallops with Mycryo® yields great end results. Mycryo® is powdered pure cocoa butter and seals your ingredients. This way, all the flavours and juices are naturally contained during frying. Compared to butter or olive oil, Mycryo has a neutral taste and doesn't drown out or affect the natural flavours of your ingredients. Simply sprinkle the Mycryo® straight onto the ingredients and fry in a hot pan. Clean, simple and delicious.
