BOILED FRENCH OR GLOBE ARTICHOKES Wash artichokes; remove discolored outer leaves; cut off stem about 1/2 inch below base of leaves. Drop in rapidly boiling, salted water to cover. Cook, uncovered, for 25 to 40 minutes or until tender; drain upside down. Serve whole or in half with individual dishes of Merritt Dressing. To eat: Pull off a leaf; dip large end in Merritt Special Dressing, and eat only the white fleshy part, discarding the rest.

Microwaving artichokes is not recommended. For a medium-sized artichoke, cook it in a pot on the stove for 45 minutes or in a pressure cooker for 15-17 minutes. My own personal recipe is to add 1 T. olive oil, 1/2 t. salt, and 1 T. lemon juice to the one to two inches of water in the pot. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cook 45 minutes from the time you start cooking.

Depends on size. 25-40 minutes until fork-tender at the stem end.

Until the leaves come off easily. Steaming is better than boiling.
