Thank you both very much! Pierino, If I could bother you further? I have heard about the smaller sized veggies be the most flavorful. Does this apply to a lot of different veggies? Thanks again!

Dotparker, I'd rather not generalize too much. It's just my own personal taste, but anytime I see really tiny brussels sprouts at the farmers market or at the supermarket I grab as many as I can carry. To my palate they really do taste better.

To add to the advice from Chris, it also depends on the size of the sprouts. I look for the smallest I can find. I seek out ones that are now wider than your index fingernail. I think those taste best and they do cook mighty fast.

About 5 minutes, maybe a bit longer, but if you make them often, you'll stop looking at the clock and just poke them with a fork. When the fork goes in, they're done.
Cooking time shortens a bit if you cut the Brussels sprouts in half.
