How to Boil Cauliflower

1. 1

   Remove the leaves and any excess stem.

2. 2

   Wash both sides well under running water.

3. 3

   Check the size of your pot to make sure you can add the whole head of cauliflower.

4. 4

   Add enough water to cover the cauliflower.

5. 5

   Add the salt and vinegar to the water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil (covering makes it boil faster).

6. 6

   Add the cauliflower to the boiling water, cover with a lid and boil for 4 minutes.

7. 7

   Reduce the time if you're going to cook the cauliflower with heat later.

8. 8

   Once the 4 minutes are up, drain the water away and let it cool on a cutting board.

9. 9

   Use your hands to break apart the florets.
