Chef’s Tips
Avoid overcooking! Overcooked broccoli loses its vibrant color and crunch. Keep a close eye on your broccoli, and if you’re at all concerned or unsure, it’s better to undercook than overcook.If you don’t plan on serving right away then cool it in an ice bath. The shock of an ice bath immediately after cooking will keep your broccoli looking and tasting fresher for longer.You only want a couple of inches of water in the saucepan fit with a steamer basket. Whatever you do, do not add so much water that the basket can touch the top of the water. There should be about 5-6 inches of space between the boiling water and bottom of your steamer basket.
