How to clean squid easily and simply

As you have noticed, each recipe begins with the fact that you first need to clean and boil the squid. The cooking time and, of course, the taste depend on how quickly and correctly we cope with this task. ready meal generally.

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

I suggest you watch the video where one of the traditional ways cleaning and boiling squid, and a little lower I will describe more ways by which this can be done.

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

On the shelves of our stores, they mainly sell already peeled frozen squids, and we are used to dealing more with just such a product. Unfrozen clams are sold with head and tentacles. Therefore, the cleaning methods of these two products are somewhat different.

If you purchased whole carcasses, then you need to cut off the tentacles from them. They, after cleaning, can also be used for cooking. Then, holding the carcass with one hand and the head with the other, you need to gently pull it. This action will allow you to easily 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. It's best to do it naturally. room temperature. There is no need to use a microwave so as not to destroy the delicate structure of the meat.

There are three cleaning methods:

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

Such carcasses have a surface film of a characteristic brownish-pink color. It can be removed simply by picking it up with a knife. But this takes a significant amount of time.
Therefore, you can use the method suggested in the video, that is, put the carcasses in boiling water and boil for 2 minutes.
But, personally, I prefer to use the third method. It involves pouring 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.

After that, the carcasses should immediately be placed in a cold or ice water. Or 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, simply by scraping the surface.

The fact is that if you leave them to cool natural way, then the heat treatment process will continue until the meat is 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 little later.

Already cleaned and washed carcasses are usually white or slightly creamy in color. However, there is still a very thin film on the outer and inner surfaces, which you just won’t see, but gently picking it up from the edge, it will easily stretch in a rather long layer. This film also needs to be removed.

This almost invisible thin film, if not removed, can play a cruel joke 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 of course 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, cleaned from the outside. If you use it for a salad, you can make a transverse incision and peel it from the inside as well. If you use the carcass for stuffing, then it will not be possible to cut it, so it will need to be carefully turned out and cleaned from the inside.

Inside, we will definitely have to remove the chitinous chord, it has a transparent color and is quite long and dense, but pulling it from below, it is quite easy to remove.

Also, sometimes there may be remnants of the insides inside, which also need to be removed. And again - the same, we need to remove a thin transparent film.

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

How to cook squid

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

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 move away from the pan during the whole process. Squids should be cooked for exactly a minute, and no more. The time is calculated from the moment when the first "gurgles" appear on the water. Otherwise, the meat will be tough.

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

This is the simplest and fast way at which the meat is tender, soft and very tasty.

3. Pour boiled water over the cleaned carcasses and let it soak for 1 minute. Then drain the water, rinse the carcasses thoroughly. Then again pour boiling water, and again stand for 1 minute. Then do everything again.

In the last filling, the water must be salted.

Shellfish should always be boiled in salted water. The structure of the meat is such that then it will no longer be salted, it will not take in right amount salt. And you won't get the taste you want.

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

Cook squids in a large volume of water. And each time lower into the 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, then the heating process will be longer, and the meat will simply lie in hot water, will not really cook to the desired state, and can become tough before it has time to cook.

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

In terms of taste and softness of meat, squids cooked in any of these three ways do not differ in taste. So feel free to use any of them.

Sometimes they ask the question - what to do if the squid turned out to be tough? They didn’t mark the time, forgot about them and digested them ...

Under no circumstances should you throw it away! Cook them over low heat for at least another hour, or even two hours is better. The meat will become soft again, that's how they cook canned product. But this is only in last resort, all the benefits and taste are just in a properly prepared product ..

From all of the above, we can conclude that it is not so difficult to clean and cook squid. Once you try it, you will understand it yourself. It is enough to know only the basic techniques and rules, however, as elsewhere.

But correct use this useful, in every sense of the word, product will allow you to cook a lot of tasty, healthy and diet meals. Such, for example, as today's salads offered to your attention.

If you liked today's article, and even more so it turned out to be useful, share it with your friends. Perhaps one of them is not preparing squid salads yet.
