Don't put a cork in it!
Is there any animal that we eat that's more mystifying than the octopus? An octopus can camouflage itself and shape-shift in ways that sci-fi nerds only dream of. They have a complex and decentralized nervous system that allows each individual limb to register senses and make decisions independently. Plus, octopuses have repeatedly demonstrated escape-artist abilities; one even broke out of its enclosure andto the ocean.
* While an animal’s intelligence shouldn’t be the only reason we try to protect them, it’s hard not to feel some likeness with such a clever creature. We can all do our part by keeping an eye onWhat You Need to Know Before You Cook OctopusAn octopus is a mollusk, more specifically a cephalopod along with squid and cuttlefish.
Aside from freezing, there are some other methods that people claim can help tenderize the meat before cooking. I didn't try all of them—massaging the tentacles with salt for 20 minutes, which is what sushi chefs do, is needlessly laborious unless you're a sushi chef. But I did try beating an octopus with the flat side of a meat tenderizer for about a minute to see what effect it had.
Humans have been boiling octopus for about as long as we've been eating it. It works. But there are still some ideas out there about how to make it work better. I experimented with a couple approaches: with and without a cork in the pot, and using a cold versus hot start. All my octopus samples reached tenderness in the same amount of time—about one hour—and I couldn't spot a lick of difference among them.
. By trapping steam and raising the pressure inside the cooker, and therefore raising the boiling point of the water as well, you can cook octopus much more quickly than at a standard sea-level boil of 212°F .
