You are going to need a steamer basket. You put about an inch or two of water in the bottom of a saucepan. Make sure the water is below the bottom of the basket. Then you add your broccoli, close the basket and boil the water. Cook the broccoli until it is tender.

The easiest way to steam broccoli is by using a steamer insert. You just put about an inch of water in the bottom of your pot. Insert the steamer and lay your broccoli inside. Put on the lid. Turn the heat up to medium-high and steam for about 10 minutes.

Clean broccoli in cold water and put in a strainer or any metal pan with holes in the bottom. Sit this on top of, not in, boiling water. Cover.
