Broccoli and cauliflower
Cut into even florets; peel and slice the stalk too.

Florets
Remove leaves and trim the base.
Turn upside down and cut the florets off where they meet the main stalk.
Halve or quarter larger florets through the stem so all are the same size.
Peel the tough skin off the stalk and slice it — it cooks like the florets.
Tips
- Cutting through the stem (not the head) keeps florets neat and avoids crumbs.
