Now many restaurants or food stalls will sell crayfish, but the products sold outside are not very reassuring after all, so many people will choose to buy crayfish and come back to cook themselves.
However, although the crayfish is delicious, it is more complicated to clean and will not be cleaned, which can easily lead to the silt and bacteria in the crayfish not being cleaned, and the cooked crayfish will become worse in taste, and at the same time have a certain impact on our health.
So how do you clean the crayfish? Today I will share with you the method of cleaning crayfish.
If you also like to eat crayfish, but don't know how to clean crayfish, then you have to learn it.
Step 1: Soak in water
First of all, after buying the crayfish back, do not rush to cook, but first put the crayfish in water to soak for a day, the vitality of the crayfish is more tenacious, do not be afraid of soaking water one day crayfish will die.
When the crayfish are soaked in clean water, they will constantly spit out water, and while spitting water, the crayfish will also spit out sediment and dirty things.
So if you see that the water becomes turbid, it is best to change the water so that you can better clean the crayfish.
If the time is relatively tight, then you can add some edible salt and white vinegar to the water, these two condiments for the crayfish, is more exciting, after being stimulated, the crayfish will frantically spit sand.
At the same time, white vinegar and edible salt also have the effect of sterilization and disinfection, which can remove some bacteria from the crayfish.
Step 2: Wash the crayfish
After the crayfish can't spit out any sand, we can wash the crayfish, because the shell of the crayfish is also very dirty, and it is impossible to completely clean up the dirty things on the shell by soaking, so we must brush it well.
When washing, it is best to find a small brush or toothbrush that is not used, brush the shell of the crayfish well, and it is best to brush the abdomen several times, because the abdomen of the crayfish is very muddy.
When cleaning, remember to hold down the crayfish's pliers in case the crayfish's pliers scratch us.
In addition, it is best to use flowing water to wash the crayfish, while washing while brushing, so that the dirty things can flow to the sewer with the flow of water, prevent the dirty things from flowing into the basin, and pollute other crayfish twice.
Step 3: Remove the internal organs
The internal organs of the crayfish are also very dirty, especially in the stomach, there are a lot of bacteria and dirty things, and the internal organs of the crayfish are in the head, so after cleaning the crayfish, we can use scissors to cut a knife obliquely at two-thirds of the head of the crayfish.
After cutting it out, we will find that the head of the crayfish has some black substance, which is the stomach of the crayfish, and we had better remove it.
But the head of the crayfish may also have shrimp yellow, shrimp yellow is very nutritious and delicious, so we should be careful when handling, remove the black substance, do not cut off the shrimp yellow.
Step 4: Go to the shrimp line
When cleaning crayfish, be sure to remove the shrimp line, which is equivalent to the intestines of a crayfish, and there are a lot of dirty things in it.
So after removing the internal organs of the crayfish, we can grab the tail of the crayfish, twist it slightly left and right, and the middle piece will be twisted down, and then pull out along the curve of the shrimp, and slowly the shrimp line will be pulled out.
After doing these few steps, the crayfish was cleaned up by us, how do you usually clean up the crayfish?
