I think if you could pan sear them 1st, then place in crock pot on top of crumbled foil, basically to stay warm. The bacon and bacon both render alot of fat and liquid. Also pat the scallops dry will brown them up nicely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-16593832768651874232008-04-20T14:32:00.000-07:002008-04-20T14:32:00.000-07:00But did they taste good??
