Preparing dried squid at home requires a few simple kitchen tools to ensure proper cleaning, cutting, and cooking. A sharp knife or kitchen scissors is essential for trimming the head, fins, and slicing the squid into strips. A cutting board provides a safe surface for preparation. When cooking, a grill pan, skillet, or even an open flame can be used to roast the squid until it becomes fragrant and slightly charred. Tongs help handle the hot squid safely during cooking. Finally, a rolling pin or mallet is often used to gently pound or flatten the squid, making it more tender and easier to eat.
