Fill a pan with water, salt it and put it to boil.
In the meantime, rinse the broccoli and cut the florets free beneath the flower canopy. or 3-5 minutes. If the florets are smaller, 3 minutes are enough for it to be perfectly cooked.
When the water is boiling, put the broccoli florets into the pan. Turn the stove to low heat. You may even cover the pan with a lid. Let the broccoli florets simmer for 3-5 minutes
