Housewives who do not want to preparate cabbage rolls for a long time prefer to buy semi-finished products that do not always answer expectations.
Those who are not too lazy to cook come up with various tricks that allow you to disassemble a head of cabbage into leaves in a matter of minutes.
Since ancient times, it has been customary to boil cabbage, remove the leaves, and then dip it in boiling water again and again until it is completely disassembled. Now everything is easier.
Method number 1. Freezing
Way for the laziest. To do this, just put a whole head of cabbage in the freezer and wait until it freezes through. Before cooking, you need to get it, defrost at room temperature and pick the leaves.
True, in rolls, such cabbage may turn out to be too soft, flabby and fibrous, and its taste will change.
Method number 2. Microwave
Such processing takes less time than freezing.
To do this, remove the stalk, spoiled leaves, wrap with cling film or put them in a bag and send them to the microwave.
We turn on the oven at maximum power and wait 3-6 minutes, depending on the size of the head.
During this time, the cabbage is steamed no worse than in boiling water, but do not overdo it and do not boil the head.
