How to cook very large Brussels sprouts? My normal cooking method for Brussels sprouts is to steam them in a microwave steamer like this: 



I usually get a bag of the pre-cut sprouts, but this year I bought a stalk and I have some very large sprouts in the mix, so I'm concerned that they won't cook evenly throughout: either they'll be raw in the center, or they&mdash;and the smaller ones&mdash;will be overcooked on the outside.

Is there a better method I can use?  Or could it be as simple as halving or quartering the large ones and cooking them as normal?
Steaming is my favorite way to cook them, keeps the flavor in. I'd halve the really big ones and leave it at that, there's no need to get over-complicated with it. Some will be a bit more done but that's ok. 

If you really want to jazz them up do a quick fry with them with a bit of butter, oil and slivered almonds and pine nuts. Yummy!
