How to cook squid for salad?

Properly boiled squids have a delicate taste, their flesh is soft and slightly juicy.It is recommended to purchase seafood carcasses in an unpeeled form - not so much in order to save, but based on its taste and nutritional values. In production, as a rule, such a product is purified with the help of special solutions, which cannot give useful qualities to the product.

It is very simple to clean the carcasses - the film is quite thin, and is quickly removed. If you try to remove from a raw carcass, the skin will break and may remain in places on the carcass.

You can speed up the process in this way:

  • put all the carcasses in a deep container;
  • to boil water;
  • pour boiling water over the carcasses so that it completely covers the squid;
  • after a minute, drain the water and rinse off the remnants of the skin under cool running water, take out the insides and the chord (chitinous vertebra).

Peeled squids are ready for cooking.

There are several cooking options for this product:

  1. A pot of water is placed on the stove, one lavrushka is put in it, a little salt. As soon as the water begins to boil, put the squids in it and cook for 2-4 minutes. The cooking time is affected by the total number of squid carcasses. Take out the carcass and lower it into a container of ice water.
  2. Boil a large amount of water. Peeled squids in bulk container. Pour boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain the water, sprinkle the carcasses with cold water. Repeat the whole procedure.

Squid meat, like shrimp, is very tender in structure. Therefore, it does not require prolonged heat treatment. On the contrary, if the product lends itself to too long a cooking process, useful substances are lost, and the meat becomes too hard, dense, loses its tenderness.
