In this video, we test four different methods to find out which works best – and debunk some common myths. Do you really need a cork in your cooking water? Does it make a difference whether you cook it slowly or quickly? And how do you achieve the perfect texture? The four preparation methods: 1. Cooking pot – The classic: Fast, but risky – will the octopus be too tough? 2. Sous vide – Gentle cooking method: Does slow cooking really work better? 3. Texas steaming – Oven steaming: Can it be done without high-tech? 4. Combi steamer – The professional method: Is this the best way to cook the perfect octopus? In this video, we show you step by step how to get the octopus perfectly tender – and what to look out for with each method. Recipe: How to Cook Octopus Tenderly in Four Variations Step 1: Prepare the Perfect Stock To ensure the octopus is not only tender but also flavorful, we first prepare a stock that will be used for all cooking methods: Ingredients for the stock: • 1.5 liters of water • 200 ml white wine • 2 bay leaves • 1 garlic clove (lightly pressed) • 1 small onion (roughly chopped) • 1 carrot (chopped) • 1 celery stick (chopped) • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns Preparation: • Place all ingredients in a large pot. • Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. • Then use as a base for each cooking method. ⸻ Step 2: Comparing the Four Cooking Methods 1. Octopus in a Pot (Classic Method) • Place the octopus in the boiling liquid. • Reduce heat and simmer gently for 90 minutes. • Target internal temperature: 97–98°C (208–210°F) • Test occasionally with a wooden skewer to see if it's tender. 2. Octopus in the Sous Vide Method • Vacuum seal the octopus with some of the liquid. • Place it in a water bath at 84°C (185°F) for 4 hours. • Target internal temperature: 82–84°C (180–183°F) • Remove and check for tenderness. 3. Octopus in the Texas Crutch (Oven Steaming) • Place the octopus in an ovenproof dish and cover with liquid. • Cover with aluminum foil and cook in the oven at 140–150°C for approximately 2.5 hours. • Target internal temperature: 97–98°C 4. Octopus in the combi steamer (professional method) • Place the octopus in a deep baking tray and add some cooking liquid. • Use the 100°C steam function for approximately 1.5 hours until tender. • Target internal temperature: 97°C (determined by the automatic program) David's Grill: http://route66grill.de David is also your official contact for Polish grills.
