Notes
Cook time may vary depending on how much cauliflower you are cooking. If you check the cauliflower after 5 minutes and it's still to hard, cover again and cook another 1-2 minutes.
Try cutting the florets to a similar size so they cook evenly.
Make sure to use oven mitts or a towel to remove the bowl from the microwave. It will be hot.
