How to cook squid properly so that it turns out delicious: forget about "rubber" seafood
02.01.2024 15:20
Compared to other seafood, squid seems more accessible due to its relatively low cost.
They will cost much less than shrimp or quality sea fish.
But the main complaint about squid is that they often turn out tough and inedible: we get real “rubber”.
What tricks will help to avoid this?
Do not try to shorten the defrosting time.
Of course, you always want to spend the minimum amount of time preparing the food, but in this case, there is no need to rush. Squid should be defrosted slowly.
But various tricks to speed up defrosting do not have the best effect on the quality of seafood.
Pre-treatment with boiling water is not necessary.
Many people try to simplify the process of cleaning seafood by pouring hot water over the carcasses. Yes, it makes cleaning easier, but the squids become too tough.
Long cooking is not necessary.
Do not cook the seafood for too long: the squid will become tough and tasteless. Two minutes for a whole carcass will be quite enough.
