I really like these squid. Constantly bought them in our store. There's no need for that now. After all, at home, such squid turns out to be both tastier and cheaper.

When cooking squid, it is very important not to overdo them in boiling water, otherwise they will be rubbery and tasteless. It is enough to lower the carcasses into boiling water for 30 seconds. This way they will remain soft, elastic and able to absorb the marinade.

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
