reelin 2 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 My tip is in the 'in the kitchen' part i would use probably two kiwi fruits for a couple of hours Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dutchxfisher 18 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 just soak for as long as you can afford in the kiwi, I would say no less than a couple of hours and ideally over night. I've used this before, and it works a treat, especially if you're not overly experienced with cooking squid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reelin 2 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just as long as you dont make them too soft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Easiest way we've found to tenderise squid is to freeze it first. Obviously u defrost it before cooking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hoopsy 697 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 i always run mine in the scaling bag which semmt tenderises them then the missus cuts into rings and freezes them in zip lock bags can cook for 6 hrs and still tender Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I tried the kiwi trick the other night but had to leave it in for 6 hours (not by choice), it worked well but was probably a bit too tender so i'll try the recomended 2 hours next time.if soaked overnight i think you would end up with a bag of snot?great tip thankswes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BullwinkleII 0 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 kiwi fruit makes kangaroo into mush within 4 hours so be careful how much you risk leaving overnight or for any great length of time. Id try 2 hours to start with.in fact im ging to try it right now. thanks for the tip . for some reason i had never thought of using it on squid. I always freeze mine cut up and with a dash of milk. -craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
