I used to really like to microwave broccoli. The color stayed so nice and the texture was perfect. Now since I heard ALL the nutrients in broccoli disappear when microwaved, I'm steaming it or blanching it. It's okay, but honestly, not as good as the microwave. :( I never thought of the weight of pots and pans versus a plate or other container without all that water when folks can't trust the strength of their hands. I wish there was a really good solution. {{sigh}} Thank you so much for visiting me here in cyberspace and giving me something to research. I sure appreciate the time you took to comment. It means a lot to me. I know what you mean, Deb. I used to really like to microwave broccoli. The color stayed so nice and the texture was perfect.

I've been microwaving my veggies since my hand arthritis got bad. The pots are lighter and easier to handle while cooking and washing them, and it takes less watching than boiling. But I need those antioxidants! Wow! I’ve been microwaving my veggies since my hand arthritis got bad.
