How do you blanch squid?

Answer:

To blanch squid, clean and cut the squid in pieces ready for cooking. Drop the squid into boiling water deep enough to cover the squid for 30 seconds or until the flesh becomes opaque. The water does not need to return to a rolling boil. Avoid overcooking (more than a minute) as squid will become tough and rubbery. Remove the squid from the boiling water and dunk into ice water to chill. Drain.
