How Long to Steam Cauliflower
So, how long to steam cauliflower? 5 to 8 minutes, but start checking at 5. Use a timer, cut uniform florets, and don’t drown them. Respect the vegetable, and it will reward you with a side dish that’s healthy, versatile, and honestly, not that weird. Unless you forget the seasoning. Then it’s just a pale, lumpy lesson in humility.
Now go forth and steam. And remember: if your cauliflower turns gray, call it “vintage” and nobody will ask questions.
