As long as the scallop has lost its translucency, it's done. When baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. If you are going to broil it, make sure that the pan is greased well and elevate about 3-4 inches away from the source of the heat. For sauted scallops, dust them with flour first and cook until each side is light brown.
