EntranceSquid how to cut. Squids: cooking secrets
Squids are usually sold frozen. I advise you to choose unpeeled squid, as peeled clams are re-frozen, which reduces the quality of any product, and, moreover, such a delicate one as seafood.
It is better to take small squids - their meat is much more tender and softer.
How to properly process squid before cooking
Peeled squid
Defrost squid, like other seafood, should be either in the refrigerator or when room temperature. It is strictly forbidden to defrost the mollusk in the microwave or under hot water.
There are two processing methods:
1. After defrosting, cut off the tentacles, pull out the chord, turn the squid inside out and peel off all the films.
2. Dip the squid in boiling water for 30 seconds, as soon as the protein begins to curl, the film itself will detach from the carcass. Remove immediately and rinse off excess under running cold water. But you must remember that the heat treatment process of the product has been started and the squid has already begun to cook.
How to cook squid on the grill
Grilled squid
Put the squid on the grill for literally 1-2 minutes - the meat will instantly grab, become elastic. Remove from heat, salt, pepper - the product is ready for use.
The main thing is not to overexpose the squid on fire, otherwise you will get a hard rubber sole.
Before frying, peeled squid can be marinated in olive oil with a mixture of spices - salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, coriander.
For marinade, you can also use kefir, sour cream, mayonnaise - depending on personal taste preferences.
Grilled squids can be served with green butter (thyme, rosemary, garlic, parsley, vegetable oil, olive oil) and baked lemon (cut the lemon in half, put on a preheated pan, leave for a couple of minutes, then bake in the oven for 15 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees).
How to cook squid properly
Calamari before cooking
Cooking takes approximately 1-3 minutes - depending on the size of the clams. The universal cooking process is as follows: bring water to a boil, salt, pepper, throw in a bay leaf, lower the squid, wait the necessary time and immediately get the squid.
Dishes with squid

Bring to a boil, cook for 2 minutes, add butter, salt, pepper, sugar.

Breaded squid rings
Cut the peeled squid into rings, salt and pepper. Separately, prepare the standard ingredients for breading: egg, flour, crackers. Roll the squid in flour, then in a well-beaten egg, again in flour and gently bread in breadcrumbs.
Put the breaded rings in the freezer for 10 minutes - this way the shape will “grab” and it will be easier to fry them. Heat the oil to 160 degrees, lower the squid rings into the oil for 1.5 minutes. Place on paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve with any sauces: tartar, adjika, garlic, sour cream or spicy sauces.

How to cook squids so that they turn out soft and tasty. Recipes for salads and hot dishes.
Squids are tasty and healthy - and you can’t help but take advantage of this, especially in Lent! Let's learn how to handle these clams, especially since they cook in minutes!
How to choose
When buying frozen squid, pay attention to the color of the meat that is visible under the outer film - it should be whitish. The skin itself can be different - its color varies from pink to purple.
Squid carcasses should be easily separated from each other - stuck together may indicate that the product has already been defrosted.
The smaller the carcass, the sweeter the meat.
How to clean
The frozen squid carcass should be doused with boiling water - the film covering the meat will curl up - and it can be easily removed by hand. If the squids have already melted, fill them with hot, but not boiling (!) Water for 3 minutes. After that, remove the skin with your hands. From the inside we take out and remove the transparent chitin plates.
Now the squid carcass is ready for further cooking.
How to cook
Boil water, add spices to it (bay leaf, peppercorns - to taste). Dip the squid carcasses into boiling water, cover with a lid and ... turn off the stove. After 10 minutes, the squids are ready. They will be soft and tender. Cut squid and add them to salads, sandwiches, sushi, pasta and risotto.
How to stew
Best with vegetables and sour cream! The secret of the dish is to first fry vegetables (onions, carrots, garlic), bring them to readiness and only at the very end add squids (3-5 minutes before the end of cooking) and simmer under a lid over low heat. Otherwise, the squid will turn out rubber. Braised squids are good with rice or pasta.
How to fry
Squids are fried over high heat for one minute, after which the stove is turned off - and squids reach under the lid. Squid rings are dipped in lezon and deep-fried, they can also be cooked in batter or in breadcrumbs.
How to marinate
Squids are marinated for 1-2 hours. As a marinade, mustard, boiling vegetable oil with spices, and soy sauce are most often used.

Many northern cuisines, whether Asian or Mediterranean, include seafood. If you know how to cook squid tasty and fast, so that the meat turns out soft, then you can provide your diet useful substances that this product contains. Salads, deep-fried rings or a stuffed carcass will complement both a festive and everyday table.
What are useful squids
Seafood contains many vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, manganese, iron, calcium and vitamin C. Squid is recommended even for those who are on a diet. His beneficial features:
- helps absorb iron. For example, 85 grams contains about 90% of the daily requirement of copper, which plays an important role in the metabolism and storage of iron, which means it is involved in the formation of red blood cells. Copper deficiency can cause anemia.
- prevents the development of inflammatory processes due to the content of selenium.
- relieves headaches, as it is rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin);
- normalizes the condition of the skin, hair, nails due to the contained animal protein;
- reduces the risk of heart disease by a large number vitamin B12;
- stabilizes blood sugar levels due to the content of vitamin B3;
- reduces pressure due to the presence of potassium in the composition;
- relaxes muscles and nervous system due to magnesium;
- strengthens the immune system thanks to zinc;
- contributes to the formation of healthy strong teeth and bones, because the meat is saturated with mineral phosphorus.
How to clean a squid carcass
If you bought frozen seafood, you do not need to lower it immediately into hot water. It is better to leave the carcasses to lie down for a while at room temperature. When they become plastic, take a cutting board, a sharp knife and start cleaning.
Before cooking
Press the raw carcass firmly against the board with one hand, carefully remove the thin film with the other. If the skin does not come off well, pour boiling water over the squid. The head and tentacles must be cut off. You can throw away the head, and the tentacles will come in handy when cooking. Remove the insides - chitinous plates resembling cellophane. When the carcass turns white, it can be boiled, fried or baked in the oven.
After cooking
If you decide to boil the squid without pre-cleaning, then you can get rid of the film in a few minutes. Dip the boiled carcasses in cold water for a minute, and then gently pull off the film by picking it up with your fingers or using a new kitchen brush with soft bristles - after a few strokes it will roll into balls and peel off easily.
How to cook squids so that they are soft
Squid cannot be kept in boiling water for more than 3 minutes, otherwise the tender meat will turn into a piece of rubber, and it will be unrealistic to chew it. The cooking time of seafood does not depend on the form in which you will cook it - peeled or with skin on.
Cooking time of the cleaned carcass
If you do not know how to cook peeled squid, use these tips:
- pour water into the pan, wait until the liquid boils;
- add salt, seasonings to boiling water;
- place the peeled carcasses in boiling water for 2 minutes, when the meat turns white, drain the water. If you have digested seafood, boil them again, but not more than 30 minutes - during this time the meat will become soft again;
- cut the boiled carcasses into rings and serve with beer or use to make a salad.
How long to cook unpeeled squid
The cooking process of peeled carcasses and those with film is almost identical. This option will take a little more time. Proceed like this:
- defrost carcasses;
- put a pot filled with water on the stove;
- add salt, lavrushka to boiling water, allspice;
- lower the carcasses into the water, turn off the fire, then cover the pan with a lid;
- after a few minutes, take out the seafood.
How to cook delicious squid
Squid is the least expensive of all seafood, so you can eat it much more often than shrimp or mussels. Try stuffing the carcass, make pasta or risotto with fried rings, make a salad with egg and mayonnaise, or just bake the whole squid and serve instead of meat.
Baked in the oven
Seafood must first be marinated: leave for several hours in a mixture of lemon juice, pepper, garlic and paprika. After that, you can transfer to the grill and bake, pouring over the remnants of the marinade. The oven temperature should be 200 degrees, in time the process should not take more than 30 minutes.
Stewed
Stewed squids are best obtained with the addition of sour cream. To prepare the dish, you need to put the chopped carcasses in a hot frying pan with oil and simmer for a minute and a half. Next, adding flour, fry the rings over high heat for 30 seconds. At the end, pour boiling water, season and simmer it under a closed lid over low heat for another one and a half minutes.
fried
Before frying squids, they must be boiled, then cut into strips or rings. Prepared seafood is recommended to be dipped in lezon (sour cream whipped with eggs, salt and spices), rolled in breadcrumbs and fried in vegetable oil (or butter) or deep-fried. It is not worth keeping the product on fire - after 5 minutes you can serve the dish.
In a slow cooker
If you like to use modern technology, adapt any recipe for a slow cooker. To cook squid, boil 2 liters of water, add seasonings, salt, leave it to boil for 5 minutes. After that, start lowering one carcass, holding each for 10 seconds, take it out - this time is enough.
