As you managed to notice, each recipe begins with the fact that first you need to clean and boil the squid. The time of cooking itself and, of course, the taste of the finished dish as a whole depend on how quickly and correctly we manage this task.

So, probably everyone knows that if you digest squid, their meat will become tough, chewing badly and tasteless. Therefore, in order not to spoil the product, you need to know a few basic rules

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the video, which gives one of the traditional methods of cleaning and cooking squids, and below I will describe more ways that can be done.

As you can see from the video, everything is done quite simply. And now I will describe in more detail.

On the shelves of our stores mostly sold already peeled frozen squid, and we are accustomed to deal more with such a product. Non-frozen mollusks are sold with head and tentacles. Therefore, the cleaning methods of these two products are slightly different.

If you purchased whole carcasses, then they need to cut off the tentacles. After cleaning, they can also be used for cooking. Then, holding with one hand the carcass and the other with the head, you need to gently pull it. This action will make it easy to remove the head along with the insides.

Now, in both cases, we have whole carcasses with which we still have to work.

If you use frozen carcasses, then of course, they must first be thawed. This is best done at natural room temperature. Use a microwave to nothing, so as not to destroy the delicate structure of meat.

There are three cleaning methods:

With a fresh carcass, the film is removed in one motion. But with the frozen one you have to tinker a bit.

1. Such carcasses have a surface film of a characteristic brownish-pink color. It can be removed simply by picking up with a knife. But it takes a considerable amount of time.
2. Therefore, you can use the method proposed in the video, that is, put the carcasses in boiling water and boil for 2 minutes.
3. But, personally, I prefer to use the third method. It provides for the filling of mollusks with boiling water. As a rule, with this method, the upper film immediately begins to curl. It is necessary to hold the carcasses in boiling water for two minutes, but no more.

Then the carcasses should immediately be placed in cold or icy water. And you can put them in a colander under running water. At the same time, part of the film can be easily washed off with water, and another part can be easily removed with a knife, just scraping the surface.

The fact is that if you leave them to cool in a natural way, the heat treatment process will occur until the meat has completely cooled. And our task is only to remove the films, we do not need additional heating of the meat. We will deal with this a bit later.

Already peeled and washed carcasses are usually white, or slightly creamy. However, there is still a very thin film on the outer and inner surface that you just won’t see, but gently picking it up from the edge, it can easily be pulled by a rather long layer. This film also needs to be removed.

This almost invisible thin film, if not removed, can play a trick on us. It is she who does not make it possible to get tender and tasty meat at the exit. This is a secret that not everyone knows and naturally, not everyone removes it. And then they say that squids should not be cooked at all, since they have no taste.

And so before us is a whole carcass cleansed from the outside. If you use it for a salad, you can make a transverse incision and clean it also from the inside. If you use the carcass for stuffing, then you will not be able to cut it, so you will need to carefully turn it out and clean it from the inside.

Inside, we will definitely need to remove the chitin chord, it has a transparent color and is quite long and dense, but pulling it from the bottom, it is quite easily removed.

Also, sometimes inside the remains of the entrails, which also must be removed. And again, we need to remove the thin transparent film.

After all manipulations, the carcasses should be washed thoroughly again.

  How to cook squid

There are also three ways to cook squid. And now we will all consider them.

• 1. Place the carcasses in cold water, salt the water, bring it to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Such carcasses will cool at room temperature.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is not recommended to leave the pan during the entire process. Squids should cook for exactly a minute, and nothing more. The time is calculated from the moment when the first “bulks” appear on the water. Otherwise, the meat will turn out tough.

• 2. Place carcasses in boiling salted water, cover with a lid, bring to a boil again. Then open the lid and cook another one and a half - two minutes. Then immediately place in cold or ice water to stop the thermal cooking process.

This is the easiest and fastest way in which the meat is tender, soft and very tasty.

• 3. Pour peeled carcasses with boiling water and let lie for 1 minute. Then drain the water, rinse the carcasses thoroughly. Then pour boiling water again, and again stand for 1 minute. Then do it all again.

In the last fill, water must be salted.

Clams should always be cooked in salted water. The structure of meat is such that then it will no longer be salted, it will not absorb the right amount of salt. And the desired taste will not get it.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is the longest in time. Three times you need to boil water, and three times soak for a minute. However, if there are a lot of carcasses, then this method can be justified. I will explain why.

Squid should be boiled in a large volume of water. Moreover, each time lower in water no more than two carcasses.

This is necessary so that the water heats up faster and the heat treatment process is minimal. If you put three or more carcasses in a pan, the heating process will be longer, and the meat will simply lie down in hot water, it will not really cook to the desired state, and it can become tough before it can cook.

Therefore, if there are a lot of squids, then with the second method it will also be a long time.

To the taste and softness of meat, squids cooked by any of these three methods do not differ in taste. Therefore, you can safely use any of them.

Sometimes they ask a question - what to do if squids turned out tough? They didn’t notice time, forgot about them and digested it ...

Never throw it away! Simmer them for at least another hour, or even two hours. The meat will again become soft, this is how a canned product is prepared. But this is only as a last resort, all the benefits and taste are just in a properly prepared product ..

From all that has been said, it can be concluded that cleaning and cooking squids is not so difficult. Having tried once, you yourself will understand this. It is enough to know only the basic techniques and rules, however, as elsewhere.

But the correct use of this useful, in all senses of the word, product will allow you to cook a lot of delicious, healthy and dietary dishes. Such, for example, as today's salads brought to your attention.

If you liked today's article, and all the more it turned out to be useful, share it with your friends. Perhaps one of them is not cooking squid salads yet. And the reason may be that they do not know delicious recipes. Or maybe because he doesn’t know how to clean them properly and cook them deliciously.
