Cooking tips:1. Squeeze the razor by hand to avoid too much water in the razor when it is baked. Dissolving sea salt causes the razor meat to be too salty. 2. The spices in sea salt are added according to personal taste. They are not added or affected at all. 3. It's better to cut the razor's tendon with a knife. When the tendon is broken, the razor won't break. So the water won't be lost. 4. Do not open the lid of the pot during the baking process, so as to keep the temperature in the pot. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
