How long do you cook broccoli in the microwave?

Answer

Put broccoli in a bowl with water so that it goes about one third the way up, and microwave from 3 to 5 minutes depending on how soft you want it, or in a bag to steam it in the microwave for about the same time.

ANSWER:

Try this. Take broccoli and cauliflour and put it into a plastic container with a screw on lid. Screw the lid on about three quarters tight so that the steam will have a vent. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds and serve on a plate. You can substitute a butter dish with a snap on lid if you poke a hole in the lid with an icepick for the vent. This is the way resturants serve steamed vegatables. Different microwaves work at different wattages, so you may have to reduce or increase cook times.
