The skin or membrane of squid is mainly composed of colloid, which will become brittle during heating or processing. When the squid is heated or stressed, the colloid will break, causing the skin or membrane to fall off and form squid whiskers.
In order to avoid squid peeling, you can pay attention to the following points:
1. Fresh squid: Choose fresh squid. The higher the freshness, the stronger the squid skin, and the less likely it is to drop flowers.
2. Quick treatment: before cooking, treat squid as soon as possible to reduce the stress time of the skin.
3. Mild treatment: In the process of cleaning and cooking, treat squid as gently as possible, avoid excessive stirring or excessive frying, and reduce the chance of skin stress.
4. Proper heating time: control the heating time of squid to avoid excessive embrittlement of skin caused by excessive heating.
Although peeling squid may affect its appearance, it generally has little effect on food safety and taste. If squid blooms, it can be adjusted and treated according to specific dishes or personal preferences.
