Why SV, when you can just pan sear for a few minutes on each side with excellent results?

This guy has put a lot of work into his sous vide scallop. He likes the texture he gets this way versus a pure pan sear, and suggests you try it if you aren’t sure.
To head off the conversation about why bother to sous vide, etc. (which I have had before)

OP: Can you PLEASE explain the process because that’s an amazing sear and like some folks have said, what makes this better than just pan sear/fry? I get it that scallops are difficult to get that sear, especially if they juice out or the pan is overloaded and cools, but explain what your process was because those look great. Please? Thanks.

I’ll give it a try. To me SV is the same as when I smoke. You put the time in and the results are unmatched.
