There's a fine line when the broccoli is cooked and a bit
of resistance when chewing and when it's been reduced to
green baby food.  I do the frozen stuff in the bag in the
microwave for about 5 minutes.  Cut the bag open, dump it
into a microwave safe bowl, CorningWare is my choice, a
bit of salt and several cubes of cheese.  Back into the
microwave, covered, for about two minutes and the cheese
is melted.

Stir, plate, eat, perfecto.
