The Best Way to steam broccoli

Hey there! Steaming broccoli is super easy, and I'll show you how to do it. Here's the best method:

  1. Cut your broccoli into even-sized florets (those are the tree-looking pieces)
  2. Put about 1/2 inch of water in a pot
  3. Place a steamer basket in the pot (make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the basket)
  4. Turn the heat to high and wait for the water to boil
  5. Put your broccoli in the steamer basket
  6. Cover with a lid and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender
  7. Test with a fork - it should go in easily but the broccoli shouldn't be mushy

Pro tip: Don't overcook it! Nobody likes mushy broccoli 😝
