Leftover squid intended for storage until the next morning should be cooked first, then cooled and refrigerated. Since the storage duration alone does not guarantee safety, it is essential to carefully manage the temperature after cooking and check for any abnormalities.

## Procedure

  1. Preparation of Squid: Remove the innards and bones from the squid and wash it thoroughly.

  2. Cook: Heat the squid using your preferred cooking method.

  3. Cooling: After cooking, divide the squid into shallow containers, avoid leaving it at room temperature for a long time, and refrigerate once it has cooled down.

Points to Note

  • Storing raw squid for an extended period can compromise both its quality and safety.

  • Even after cooking, it is advisable to consume refrigerated squid within 1 to 2 days.

Summary

When storing leftover squid overnight, ensure it is cooked thoroughly to the center, followed by prompt cooling and refrigeration. Since storage duration alone does not uniformly guarantee safety, do not consume the squid if it emits unusual odors, becomes slimy, or discolors.
