The second type of detector is the photoelectric smoke alarm, which uses a light beam to detect the presence of smoke. According to UL, these alarm types are more effective at sounding when a fire originates from a smoldering source, like a lit cigarette that falls into a couch cushion.
Fill a pot with 2 to 3 inches of water. Set a steamer basket on top so the basket sits above the water inside. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Lay the baby broccoli in the steamer basket and place the lid on top. Steam the baby broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the stalks and florets brighten in color and become tender. Serve warm. Wash and trim the stalks.
Bring a pot of water to a good boil, and put your broccoli in for 3 minutes (if your altitude is above 5000 feet like me, youâll want to add one minute). After 3 minutes, carefully pull your broccoli out and place it in ice cold water for another 3 minutes. After 3 minutes in the ice-water, pull your broccoli out. Place it in a strainer if possible, or a towel to dry off. Once your broccoli is dry, place it in a single layer on a flat sheet making sure the pieces donât touch each other and place in your freezer.
