I don't know how to blanch vegetables. There. I said it. It seems like an important skill to know, and also one that I want to try out for a mac'n'cheese with broccoli dinner.
My veggies are always too mushy. Which is kind of how I like them, but not very sophisticated, if you ask me. I found this website and I'm going to do what it says. Well, kinda. I'm going to forgo the ice bath! I'll let you know how everything goes. Obvi.
How to blanch vegetables. It seems easy enough.
Update 1/21/12: I did it! I did end up using an ice bath, but I still may forgo it in the future. Read about the results HERE!!
