how long should I boil my broccoli?

Question

Im making meeat loaf right now that will take about a hour when should I start the broccoli?

Answer 1

2-3 minutes tops. Put them in iced water to stop the cooking process and keep the color bright.

Answer 2

Don't boil broccoli it takes out the colour, taste and nutrients.
Cut a cross into base of thick stem to help cook evenly.
Put in microwave dish cover with plastic wrap, cook for 3mins if making enough for 2 serves. Other wise put half cup water in saucepan with lid, when boiling add broccoli replace lid drop heat to simmer cook for 3mins. After first time you will know if you like it firmer of softer and can adjust time.

Answer 3

You shouldn't boil it - steam it instead.... about 3 minutes for crisp tender and 5 minutes for soft.
