Artichoke season is upon us. (The crown jewel of springtime!) The best way to celebrate this seasonal vegetable is to enjoy it just as it is: Simply steamed, with a side of melted butter or aioli for dipping. Skip the stovetop steamer or pressure cooker and cook whole artichokes in the microwave in an Anyday Deep dish. The lid keeps all of the moisture inside of the dish, steaming artichokes in a fraction of the time.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
