How to choose
And yet, initially it is important to buy the right squid. The film covering the squid can be of any color, but inside the quality meat is always white. Those squids that have been in the window for a long time or if they have been thawed and frozen again, change their color from the inside, and this happens because the meat absorbs the color of the film. The taste of such a product also suffers. If the freezing rules were in accordance with the standards, then the carcasses are easily separated from each other.
How to prepare for cooking and how to cook
Having chosen good quality squids, we prepare them for cooking. To clean the carcass easily and quickly, you need to pour boiling water over it. Remove the top film from the outside and inside, and then remove the dorsal chord from the inside. Then rinse in cold water and our squid is ready for cooking.
We send the prepared squid carcass to a pot of boiling water, previously salted. You can also add spices to taste. Literally after 30 seconds, turn off the fire and leave the squids in hot water for another 5 minutes. Remember that the total cooking time should not exceed 3-5 minutes, otherwise the meat will turn out tough and rubbery.
Useful properties of squid
According to experts, squid meat is considered very useful for the human body. It contains many proteins and vitamins, such as B6, C, PP, E. It contains a whole set of trace elements necessary for the proper functioning of the body. Iodine, iron, copper, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, polyunsaturated fats.
Only 85 grams of squid meat is enough to consume per day to replenish the body with copper. And the presence of zinc in sufficient quantities in this product will strengthen the immune system, and therefore reduce the risk of colds.
Squid meat is recommended to be included even in the children's diet. The product does not contain cholesterol, but it contains taurine, which just contributes to the fact that the amount of cholesterol is reduced. Squids are considered a dietary product due to the absence of fat.

Method 1 Take a saucepan and pour cold water into it. Put the clam meat into the water. Season with salt and cook for 1-2 minutes. Attention! Do not move away from the pan, as soon as the water began to boil, you saw the first bubbles on the surface, immediately note the time, otherwise you will get a rubbery taste.

Important! Boil the product in salt water! Since it is during cooking that the meat will take on the desired taste of salt, if you forget to add salt, it will be impossible to do this later!
