SO HOW'D IT GO?
EDIT: Oh wait! I didn't read that in Joy of Cooking, I read it here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=11212.0
The way joy of cooking says to cook an artichoke, is that you cut off the stem and tips, put it in a bowl stem-side down, pour about a 1/4 cup of water in, take a second bowl and invert it and put it on top to cover the artichoke. Then microwave for 7 minutes, be sure to use hot pads when removing the bowl, and be careful the steam when you remove the upside-down bowl on top.
How do you cook an artichoke? Do I boil it?
Thanks
