She doesn't specifically mention microwaving, but I'm sure it's fine. Just be sure not to use a plastic container or if you're using plastic wrap, don't let it touch the veggies while cooking. I've heard that can be dangerous, and I try to avoid that. But other wise, I think it's more than okay!

I'll have to try your method more often; last night I steamed broccoli on the stovetop and it would be much easier to nuke them. Only sometimes I don't like how it makes the house smell, LOL!
