Refresh Limp Artichokes

  • To refresh limp artichokes, simply re-cut the stems, then stand the artichokes in a bowl or glass of cold water and chill. Change the water daily and they will keep for days. This also works with asparagus spears and broccoli.
  • Use a stainless steel blade to cut artichokes. A carbon blade will discolor the flesh of the artichoke. Avoid cooking artichokes in aluminum or iron pans. These pans will make your artichokes an unpleasant gray-green color. Avoid serving wine with artichokes.
  • Most experts agree that artichokes will ruin the flavor of a wine.
