    I heard once that octopus cooks better in copper and that if you dont have
    where to cook it , you could just add 2 copper coins to the water. what do
    you think? thanks :)

    It’s better if you put the octopus in cold water, then heat the water up
    to simmering temperature. Then you let the octopus simmer until it is
    edible.

    I heard people said that if you want to prepare octopus, you need to remove
    its ink bag and its eyes, is that correct? because I saw people cooked
    octopus with their eyes hadn’t been removed ( ink bag removed ).
    And they told me to use white wine to get rid of the bad smell of the
    octopus.

    Hubby bought home octopus to cook and I have no idea how to do it, I loved
    this video with such great tips, thank you so much. I liked the bread part
    as well.

    Chef, I saw another chef cook octopus and she did it without any water.
    However, the video was in Portuguese and I may have missed something. She
    said that the octopus had so much water that it cooked itself. Have you
    ever heard of this? And if you have, would you advise against it?

    Intriguing. Given my husband’s dislike for all things cephalopod (he used
    to fix commercial kitchen equipment and a chef decided to defrost a bucket
    of squid in the hot kitchen for an hour…the smell was overpowering) I
    doubt I will ever make this recipe, but I love to learn new things
    regardless.

    We ( My Family ) always cooked the Octopus in the boiling water with some
    Vinegar & some fresh Lemons in it,& it always came out great, Not rubbery
    or over done etc.

    Chef Tony if you are in N.Y. Go to Canal Street ( Chinatown) walk along
    the Stores there & they have all of the Fresh Fish outside Even Octopus, On
    Ice there. I use to buy all of my Fish for my Christmas dinner there every
    Year. always fresh etc.

    Well other than what you see in the video that is no seasoning untill you
    put the salad together afterwards So once the Octopus has cooled down slice
    in pieces about 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick toss in a large bowl with some boiled
    potatoes and string beans one finely chopped Garlic clove fresh Italian
    parsley, fresh lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste and the best olive oil
    you can find (see other video on how to choose) for a nice twist I like to
    add some fresh chopped mint. Enjoy And Buon Appetito!

    the real key to cooking this thing for tender and not mushy is letting it
    sit in water and allow it to cool do not remove let it cool to room temp
    nice and easy then grill or what ever
