What are the best tips for cooking artichoke?

Cut off top ½″ and trim stem. Rub cut surfaces with lemon to prevent browning. Pull a leaf — if it comes off easily, it's done.

How do you steam artichoke?

Steam at 25–35 min. Leaf pulls off easily when done.

Boil at 20–30 min. Faster than steaming. Add lemon to water.

Roast (halved) at 35–28 min. Halve, scoop choke, oil and season. Cover with foil first 20 min.

Grill (halved) at 10–15 min. Steam or boil first until almost done, then grill for char.
