- To prevent the liver from becoming stiff, after the appearance of a ruddy crust, it must be covered with a lid and “torn”;
- After rinsing, do not rush to put the by-product on a hot frying pan, let it dry and drain, and if time is tight, then remove excess moisture using a paper towel;
- In the store, pay attention to the color of the liver you are going to buy; if the product was unfrozen, then there are light spots on it, and fresh meat should have a bright, saturated color;
