Remarks
It's rather long to do, but with this method, you will just have the best of the cauliflower, which cooks rapidly.
Regarding the cooking, it's important for this to be quick so that the cauliflower stays firm and keeps its flavour, but also so that your house is not filled with the smell of overcooked cauliflower.
If you have, in spite of everything, ended up with a soaking wet cauliflower, you can dry it by putting the florets in a salad spinner.
