This is what a cooking video should be: informative, fun, clever, humorous, tested, and result-driven. For me it's a culinary epiphany. Broccoli here I come! Nice work Dan!
-
I have never empathized more with a video - Dan's hatred of broccoli dust (cauliflower dust too), the absolute abhorrence for (over)steamed broc, and discovering that cutting through stems was the best way to cut it up.
-
We get an extra lesson on how to hold a peeler. That's pretty helpful imo
-
The broccoli stalk is actually the best part of raw broccoli IMO, it has a crisp, delicate flavour and is even almost a little sweet.
-
As usual, Dan is ATK's sharpest, most likeable host. I would love to see some of your scientific approaches applied to bread dough. Like adding MSG for umami flavor, preferments vs. cold ferments, lower pH producing better results, etc.

Chopping up broccoli at 2:36 didn't make me cringe, because I actually do that for one application. I make a sort of broccoli pesto to have with pasta. I chop the broccoli, cook it until very soft, then mash it with garlic, salt, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. If you start mashing with the stems and the garlic, you get a nice smooth sauce. The crowns can be mashed more coarsely. Mix it with pasta, and it's quite yummy. Since it's going to be mashed anyway, no need to be careful with the chopping.
-
It's really gratifying to hear someone suggest the same way I've been separating broccoli florets (and teaching my cooks to do it too).
-
For all kinds of roasted veggies, I microwave in an open container until they're al dente, maybe 2-3 minutes. That head start saves half the oven time and gets them browner.
-
I love peeling the stems and eating them raw. So sweet and crisp.
-
I just watched eight minutes on broccoli…and do not have any regrets. 😂 Well done, Dan. You and the entire team knocked it out of the park.
-
Oh how I absolutely love this series!
-
I love ALL your vids Dan and have gone back to be sure I’ve caught them all - DO keep them coming! This one especially great! Thanks!!
-
Brilliant! Love it Dan! Game changer for me! Many many thanks!
-
Yes I was shuddering when you cut the broccoli crowns! Love the comparisons to dogs 😂. Keep the videos coming Dan.
-
All the thoughtful details make this a great video. I have been steamed broccoli only, but will now begin using these tips.
-
Love you Dan ❤ and all the crazy, funny, nerdy writing. You make me giggle and feel happy. Off to the kitchen I go, inspired!
-
Dan, you are so right! I do most of what you talked about. I even grate cheese on mine. The sky’s the limit. I also roast my cauliflower. Mmmm snack food never was better! Thanks
-
I do love me some broccoli but that little peeling the outer skin trick….priceless! Can’t wait for my garden fresh broccoli to be ready! 😋
-
This video was hilarious and awesome to watch! Love Dan, and love broccoli.

Chef Dan, this was terrific! thanks you and sharing
