Things You'll Need:
- Small or medium pot
- Vegetable steamer

Step 1
Fill a small or medium pot with 2 cups of water.

Place the pot on the stove on medium heat. Place an open vegetable steamer in the pot. Vegetable steamers can usually be purchased at just about any grocery store. For fancier ones, visit specialty stores like Crate and Barrel.

Step 3
While the water is heating, prep the broccoli. Using a knife, cut the heads from the broccoli, leaving about 2 inches of stalk attached to each head you cut off. You will steam only these heads.

Step 5
Remove the pot from the stove, drain and serve.
