If the guts are fresh: very thoroughly clean the - first with a knife. Then thoroughly rinse several times in warm water. Drained sprinkle a thick layer of salt and scrub with a stiff brush until they are quite clean. Then again intensively rinse under running water. Yes cleared guts pour cold water and leave it for at least an hour. After that time, we translate them into a pot, pour cold water and bring to boil.
