1. Choose a saucepan that will hold all of the artichokes you’ll be cooking. Fill it halfway with water and set it on high heat to bring it to a boil. Trim the artichokes in the meantime.
2. Rinse the artichokes and cut the stem flush with the base so they can stand level. Lemon juice should be applied to the cut regions. Cut an inch from the top of each artichoke and massage the cut area with lemon juice.
3. Snip the top half-inch of each leaf with kitchen shears. Place the artichoke’s base side down in the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a moderate simmer, Then weigh the artichokes’ tops with a dish lid that fits into the pot to keep them immersed.
