  7. **** Cook's notes:.
  8. Rapid cooking time of cauliflower not only reduces the odor but also preserves crispness, color, and reduces the loss of nutrients that will leach into the cooking water when overcooked.
  9. To microwave cauliflower, cover a whole head of cauliflower with plastic wrap & microwave on high for 3 minutes, turn head over, and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes.
  10. To steam cauliflower, place it in a steamer basket, and then place in a pot with 2 inches of water. Cover and steam. A whole head of cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds) will take 15 to 20 minutes to cook, but begin checking for tenderness after 12 minutes.
