A popular way to cook broccoli removes potentially cancer-fighting compounds from it — here's how you should cook it instead

Using a pressure cooker is the best method.

This isn't news. Been doing this for 30 years.

I eat mine RAW, slathered in Ranch Dip! Yummy!

Not to rain on your parade, but shouldnt one throughly wash the the broccoli before steaming it ??????

No, I'm not going to do that.

I make a smoothie out of raw broccoli, carrots and what ever fresh fruits I can find

Micro wave...really? From what I understand Microwaves destroy all the nutritional value of food. It is not the same as steaming..which is by far the best way to do it.

George Bush doesn't care. U can cook it just so, and it'll be perfect. It'll fight cancer & maybe even save ur life. But....there's just this one problem, heh heh heh heh.... GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T GIVE A FLOCK!!! Huh?

It's a whole lot tastier microwaving it with lemon and butter

So, what keeps you from drinking the water the broccoli is boiled in? Wouldn't you still get the nutrients? Just saying. . .

Been doing it that way for years!

"Plus, there's the ease of just popping it in the microwave ........"

Doesn't anyone really cook anymore?

Cook (grill) in a wok or eat it raw in a smoothie stalk and all.

Great idea. My question.... What's broccoli? Ha ha ha.

we steam all veggies in microwave...steaming is the best no matter how much water U steam with.

So... it's steaming, but in a lazy way of doing it.

Microwaves DO NOT CAUSE CANCER - Those that continue to believe this myth can take off your tin foil hats. You can also go a Caribbean Cruise - your ship will not fall off the flat earth.

Hate to tell all those microwave haters - don't look in restaurant kitchens if you're ordering steamed veggies of any kind - yes they are microwaved for a few minutes.

Just don't leave them in there too long or they get brown and shriveled and hard.

steaming in an actual vegetable steamer is an even better way to steam it................
