Notes
- Fork – I highly recommend the fork test for quickly testing how done your broccoli is and also feel the centre of one of the florets as when its frozen it takes a while to be piping hot in the middle.
- Bits – Note that the packs of frozen broccoli always have little tiny bits of broccoli and you need to bin these as they will go to mush in the microwave.
