We will describe the best of them and draw your attention to those subtleties that are important when choosing and cooking this product.
Selection rules
So, those who prefer the market go to the market, and those who prefer supermarkets go there. But we go for the same thing - beef tongue. We need to choose this product correctly so that it is of high quality and fresh.
The first rule when buying meat products- this is the presence of a sanitary stamp on the product. The stamp confirms that the meat has been inspected and no diseases have been identified in the animal. Let's look at the appearance:
- The product should have a pink or slightly purple hue;
- Must smell fresh and meaty. A different smell is already suggestive of the staleness of the product;
- When pressed with a finger fresh language should be elastic, and the hole from the dent should disappear. The softness of the product indicates repeated freezing;
- When incising the tongue, pay attention to the meat juice. It must be transparent. If there is blood on the offal, then this indicates freshness. With an abundance of meat juice, you should know that this tongue is far from fresh.
A stale tongue will first of all smell bad and have an olive tint. Of course, it is very easy to get poisoned with such an offal. Therefore, be vigilant when choosing meat products.
What you need to know about the beneficial properties of offal

We will not delve into such a science as chemistry, we will only say one thing: in the beef tongue is all the periodic table useful for humans. The product contains all the proteins, acids and vitamins necessary for health and longevity.
Subtleties and secrets of cooking

The most troublesome task of preparing the tongue will be for those who are armed with a gas stove.
But don't get discouraged and roll up your sleeves. Final result will be worth it.
We remind you: the pan should be at least twice as large as the tongue itself. So, here's how to cook beef tongue properly:
- Stage one: cut the already clean product in half. We lower it into a container, fill it with cold water and put it on a lit stove;
- Bringing the water to a boil, you need to remove the foam. Then cook the product on medium heat for about twenty minutes. Then we take out the tongue and wash it well. Pour out the broth, and wash the pan;
- We put a clean pot of water on a hot stove and wait for it to boil. Then salt, put meat in it and reduce the heat to a minimum;
- We cook for at least three hours, and then the hostess needs to look for herself whether to continue the process or not. After half an hour after boiling, we throw onions and 2-3 dry bay leaves into the broth. We check the readiness of the offal by piercing it with a sharp object. With ease of puncture - the tongue is ready. Take it out and put it in cold water. After holding the offal in water for a quarter of an hour, remove the skin from it.
