Brocoli, Boiled

Trim off all leaves that are not required or liked, and place the brocoli in a pan of salted water to kill any insects, etc., that may have taken shelter under the stalks. Wash them well, and put them into an uncovered saucepan of boiling water, with a large table-spoonful of salt to every half gallon of water. Keep them boiling till done, which will be in about ten or fifteen minutes, according to size. Drain them directly they are done, or they will lose colour and become sodden.
