Papaya Enzyme Tablets

I've read quite a few posts in the last months on this forum and another one about papaya enzyme tablets helping with stuck episodes, etc. Well, last night on TV I saw an entirely different use for it. I was watching Iron Chef America. The "secret ingredient" was octopus. I've eaten octopus more than once and it's kind of rubbery/chewy. Michael Symon was cooking a pot of it and he put a handful of papaya enzyme tablets in the pot! They asked him about it and he said it would tenderize it. I think I'm going to buy some and try it with other meat in the crock pot. I would NEVER have thought of trying this but I can see the logic so I'll let you know once I get to give it a shot!

Papaya enzymes are the main ingredient in Adolph's meat tenderizer--sorry, I'm a home ec. teacher!
