How long do you cook broccoli in the microwave?
Try this. Take broccoli and cauliflour and put it into a plastic container with a screw on lid. Screw the lid on about three quarters tight so that the steam will have a vent. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds and serve on a plate. You can substitute a butter dish with a snap on lid if you poke a hole in the lid with an icepick for the vent. This is the way resturants serve steamed vegatables. Different microwaves work at different wattages, so you may have to reduce or increase cook times.
