Sounds like me, except I would drink the broccoli water.
Once you reset your palette, cutting out excess salt and sugar and cheap fats, and processed foods, you learn to enjoy the taste of whole foods all on their own. Salted ourselves to taste, which is far less than processed food will add.
Microwave is brilliant for cooking broccoli. I want it fast, fresh and moist. You kill the flavour and the nutritional value by overcooking it in an oven.
You can put it in a bit of water on the stove for a few minutes and get the same result too, without overcooking it. I know microwaves are faster though, but I have a different appreciation of time I guess…

…there’s gotta be a healthy solution somewhere between industrially processed meals and plain microwave-boiled broccoli
Yeah but… microwaved? Just switch that for an oven and we might have terms.

Yeah I use my hob (British for stove) when I have a larger quantity to do. It’s also an excellent way to do it.
