Well prove it. It has never been true, however, I'm open to proof from an expert like you. I'll wait 5 minutes for your substantiation.

I thought microwaving food took away much of their nutritional value?

And microwaving broccoli makes the whole house smell funky too.

Naw actually , this is a copy of an old article from about a year ago . I've been steaming it for years . My nutritionist told me years ago as well microwaving veggies locks in the nutrients and vitamins . At home I steam them on the stove, never boiled them at work the microwave.

Microwaving probably preserves nutritional value.

Raw is the best. Eat as much raw food as humanly possible.

In some cases GENTLE cooking renders vegetables more healthy. For instance, cooking increases the availability of vitamin A in carrots and lycopene in tomatoes; it renders cruciferous veggies (brocc., cauliflour, cabbbage, brussels sprouts, kale etc) less goitrogenic; it breaks down some of the oxalic acid in dark leafys (the compound that may contribute to kidney stones in susceptible people). The key is to do it gently! We all need to increase our consumption of veggies, though, both raw and cooked.

yea also you are consuming all the chemicals they use to grow the plant. Beware what you buy for produce.

I use a microwave steamer that was $3 at an Asian market.

Our family roasts broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans with a little olive oil and lemon juice.

Yum! I have no idea if roasting "robs" the vegetables of their nutrients, but it's my favorite way for so many things.

Grilling it works well too, and gives it a tasty char. Give it a light coating of olive oil first, then grill until it turns a darker green, being careful not to overcook such that it turns mushy.

I have yet to try grilling veggies, but have taken to roasting them to give a mild smoky flavor and to somewhat caramelize them.

I use my Revere Ware steamer pans. Been round for years. Nuke-a-matic if I am in a hurry.

Boiled vegetables are like mashed peas...tasteless and offensive

I used to sell Miracle Maid cookware. Best cookware on the market. Wet your veggies down, drain all the water. start out on high heat, when the lid starts to bubble and bounce turn as low as you can. Can't beat it. Veggies retain all vitamins and taste so much better. I would cook entire dinners in that set in less than 30 min's.

my absolute FAVORITE way to eat broccoli is spread it on a large cooking sheet, spritz good with olive oil and sprinkle garlic salt on it, roast it till tips turn slightly brown. It's still crunchy and it doesn't have the broccoli 'sulfur' smell..and kids even eat it!! I could eat the whole bowl of broccoli this way...cauliflower is also good this way.

Microwaves are dangerous. Just steam your veggies or better, eat them raw.

I usually roast mine. Wonder if that is considered as good as microwaving. I don't ever boil veggies . . .

I've read a ton about cooking broccoli and I can say the consensus is to place 1" of water into a sauce pan and when its steaming add the broccoli (in a steamer tray) to the pan. Cover and cook 5 minutes (use timer). If you like it crunchy use larger pieces and use smaller pieces if you like it slightly softer. Microwaving is terrible for veggies and they're nutrients. You can also bake them.
