Cleaning methods:
1. Gauze. Fold a large piece of gauze in 4 layers. In the central part we have caviar. Dip gauze in the basin or in a pot of warm water, begin to rotate. Gradually, the film will move away, the pieces will remain on the gauze. The method is convenient, simple, but long and time consuming.
2. Hot. Relatively fast way. Caviar is filled with hot water for a few seconds. All films depart from the balls. The disadvantage of this method is the need to choose pieces from the product.

4. Whisk. Yastyk is torn in several places, the caviar is filled with warm water, the whisk is immersed and the product is stirred. Gradually, films will be wound on the rim. Then the eggs are poured into a sieve, the remaining yastok is chosen by hand.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Choose the one that is most convenient for you.
