Great recipe, although I do agree with the other comments, 2 mins with cover, 2 minutes without is better for consistency of the bite. Other than that it's great and I love it!

I just had no idea how much better tasting fresh broccoli was vs. frozen broccoli. Prior to this I was just buying bags of frozen broccoli and popping them in the microwave. I finally decided it would be so much cheaper to just make it myself. And - wow, the taste is so much better. And much more filling!!

Thanks for the recipe. Since I like my broccoli very soft and tender, I steamed it for 15 minutes. I also used half a cup of water instead of 1/3 a cup. And I added some cauliflower florets to get a nice little mix. I made so much of it, I can store it in containers and portion it out for the next couple days.

I loved Alton's technique for cutting the stems and florets. It made for a much more simplified process.

AND A lot cheaper than spending 2 bucks a box for the frozen ones!

Good-tasting, easy recipe. The broccoli turned out too mushy for me when cooked for that long - I will do 2 minutes on high and 2 on low next time. I added some smoked paprika & tossed it in bacon fat since I was out of butter, yum.

I have always fixed and eaten steamed broccoli simply because it is so good for you, but I never actually enjoyed it. For some time now, I have wanted a recipe for broccoli that actually taste good and isn't complicated. I was amazed how good this broccoli is and how simple the technique is. I followed Alton's recipe to a T. I put a little salt in after placing the stalks on the bottom and sprinkled a little salt on the florets too. The seasoning was perfect. Of course I added the butter as well and tossed it as directed. The only thing I would do differently next time is cook it about 2 minutes on high and 2 minutes on low. The reason for this is it continues to cook from the time you take it off the burner until it actually gets on your plate. It was a bit over done for my liking.

This is such a great recipe for picky eaters or if you are just introducing broccoli to your young children, this is perfect!

I love veggies, but for some reason I always have a hard time getting broccoli just right, well... this recipe comes out right and is so easy. I made it tonight in an effort to not let my broccoli go bad. I love that it uses the stems, because these are the most nutritious part of the broccoli and it is a shame that so many people don't eat them. Also, it seriously only takes 6 minutes, so don't make it too early so the broccoli stays nice and bright green!

I used to love broccoli "trees" when I was young because my grandmother cooked it just right. I never knew how she cooked it so I never bothered cooking it. I would never eat the stalks either. This recipe is outstanding though! Super easy and super delicious. The stalks are even good.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli - in fact I've never even made it myself. In an effort to eat more veggies I tried this tonight. This cooked perfectly and was actually enjoyable. And made me look like I knew what I was doing, even though I've never cooked it before.
