Let stand for 3 minutes. | 10. To steam cauliflower, place it in a steamer basket, and then place in a pot with 2 inches of water. Cover and steam. A whole head of cauliflower (1 ½ pounds) will take 15 to 20 minutes to cook, but begin checking for tenderness after 12 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
