Cooking vacuum-packed vegetables in the microwave

Not everyone has a microwave but I like acronyms as well as the next person.

Sorry, that acronym is not an appetizing way to describe cooking.

 

isn't it?

 I like acronyms too but I am pedantic enough to believe that if you can't pronounce it as a new word (NATO, SNAFU) it isn't an acronym it's an initialism.

The military often finds weird ways to "say" acronyms that should be unpronounceable.

Not a virtue though.

Tried fresh broccoli for the first time last night.  It was packaged with butter.  I gave it one minute, then a rest of 8-10, then more minutes until it puffed (didn't time it, but about 3 minutes).  It was edible, but regular steamed broccoli is much better.  So for me, this method fails on fresh broccoli.
