We really like crisp tender steamed broccoli, and always have. However, lately I have had extreme "flufferdoodles" and head for the door. ![Blush :blush: :blush:](https://www.discusscooking.com/forums/images/smilies/blush.gif)

I've been steaming broccolini without any problems, but I miss plain 'ole broccoli. Broccolini is actually a cross-breed of broccoli and Chinese broccoli, with a unique flavor. We really like it roughly chopped and steamed in the microwave, with a little water/butter/garlic/salt/MSG, just like I do broccoli.
I take Beano tablets when I eat beans, but I'd rather not use it if I don't need it. My mom would use a little baking soda to cut the gas in beans and I wonder if it would work for broccoli also? Now that I think about it, she also claimed that a little mustard powder in the water did the same for dried beans.
I read somewhere if you use a little milk in the steaming water, it will help.
Does anyone have any bright ideas that work for gas-less broccoli ?![Chef :chef: :chef:](https://www.discusscooking.com/forums/images/smilies/chef.gif)
