I myself and a more of a traditional cooker, however, I do own a pressure cooker and this piece of technology is absolutely fantastic for whatever you need it for, especially if your time is very limited. Chef Tony, you are awesome!!!
I have had this Power pressure cooker the Large one for about 7 years now and LOVE IT. Doing my first octopus today I did brown it in a bit of vegetable oil first then added a cup of Kikoman soy sauce, Lemon pepper blend, a half cup of white vinigar, and some salt topped with water till barely covered. We shall see!
Watching your video in April 2024 and it was wonderful! You saved me time and most important the octopus was so tender and juicy! Your idea about seafood was great and that’s exactly what I’ve done ! The seafood soup was delicious ✨✨✨💜
This is awesome. I did 5lb octopus 🐙 30 min. Let it cool until no pressure. Removed pot sat on the counter while preparing the rest of palm Sunday meal. Right before serving separated skin and sockets from legs and head. Diced legs and head about half inch pieces. In the pan garlic and olive oil and finish with Limon
Thanku for this video! It was definitely my speed and with the perfect amount of details I needed. My bf dives for octopus and we just received a pressure cooker as a gift. Going to try this out tonight. Mahalo!
The best way to cook octopus is put it in the steam basket ( water is NOT touching the octopus) and steam for 45 min. No salt as octopus is salty by it nature. After 45 min check every 5 min with the fork for tenderness. Cooking this way will keep the flavor in octopus rather that it will go into water. Serve with lemon juice and olive oil. THE BEST!
CHEF, I tried your pressure cooker method. It made the octopus Fork Tender. BUT I couldn't get frozen octopus from anywhere other than the pacific rim. When I took it out of the pressure cooker The Skin & sucker cups had turned to a gelatinous mass it was sticky as hell and gooey and hard to remove but when I stripped it off I had perfectly tender white-ish octopus tentacles. That ever happen to you? The package said it was blanched.
Fry the octopus quickly in hot rapeseed or olive oil and it doesn't need tenderising. As for the $100 plus electric pressure cooker I'll stick to my traditional stainless steel pressure cooker on a gas or electric hob.
@@rudyruth6117 - Apologies. Maybe I didn't express myself clearly. The octopus still has to be cooked for about 20 minutes in a pressure cooker. Just not one costing $100.

Irina Popov the steamer? What if it’s a small octopus 🐙?
Hum, this is interesting. I have a rice cooker with a atewmwr basket, might try this technique. Thanks for the tip!
Making now
Looks great and good video! *insert two thumbs up*
Now I want a pressure cooker and make octopus salad
Michaela DeBiase it came out so so tender...unbelivable
Interesting. Pressure cooker would definitely make it tender.
Wow. Chef Tony thank for sharing!

What ever happened to me? I’m all here
@@cheftonyscarpati I was asking if that ever happened to you. You know the part about the octopus skin and suckers turning to gross gell. Has it?
@@Raul28153 no because I don’t use pacific Octopuss, it’s not as good as Mediterranean
This was a pretty good video, at 1.5 speed. Hilarious video at .75 speed. Ok at normal speed too.
Moar garlic!
I was always told to never add salt when cooking octopus
When I get it fresh from Italy no salt is needed but when frozen kind of looses the ocean flavors
@@cheftonyscarpati Ok thanks Tony
Thamks!

Why lemon it screws up the taste of the food it reminds me of Friday we all had fish with lemon in grade school f up. Times
I put in a bit frozen -

Peter your dreaming I've been eating octopus for over 50 years
It’s total rubber! This tip didn’t work for me.
