just simply put some squids with pepper, salt, and instant teriyaki sauce, and heat them in microwave. Not the best way to cook them, but at least they are ediable for dinner

That doesn't sound too bad. I'd try it.

I would suggest pan frying rather than microwaving... squid is easily overcooked.

I love calamari!

I remember the first time I tried it at university, wasn't too keen on the premise of eating what I deemed to be rubber rings; it used to be served as a starter in the SU's bar, picked up a real taste for it and haven't turned back since... even when the SU had to remove it from the menu due to poisoning some students.

You've got to get the balance of flavours right though; I've had times where it's tasted foul due to overcooking or the flavour of the squid was destroyed by overpowering seasoning and whatnot. Well worth the trouble, even if you have got ten kilos of the stuff to get through!

Don't waste the tentacle either. Cut around the beak, remove the ring of tentacle meat intact and discard the head and beak (watch out for the beak, you don't want that). I always buy fresh or frozen, raw whole squid and prepare it myself. The pre-cooked stuff certainly is "rubber rings".
