Steps

Octopus cooking

Rinse the octopus perfectly.
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
once it is boiling, take the octopus by the head, immerse the tentacles in boiling water for a few seconds ten let the octopus rise.
Repeat this operation 3 times. This way you can make sure that the meats are already starting to soften.

Place the octopus in a plate. Rinse the pot, cool it, fill it with cold water and add a teaspoon of salt.
Immerse the octopus in water, make sure it is completely covered with water, tentacles upwards, body immersed in the bottom.
Place the pot on the stove and monitor the temperature. The water will slowly begin to color and the octopus will begin curl.
when the water reaches 100* degrees, cover with a lid and from that moment calculate 10 minutes of cooking (20 minutes for octopuses over 1 kg).
Then turn off the heat and let the octopus cook covered in its water. From time to time (not too often) turn the octopus and check the softness with a fork.
The octopus should cook in 50 minutes.
