- 1). Start by selecting the lightest color celery in the display since dark green celery requires a longer cooking time and is not as tender.
- 2). Cut off the bottom of the bunch with a sharp knife just below where the various stalks separate and cut off the leaves at the top of the stalks.
- 3). Scrub each stalk with a vegetable brush under clean running water to remove the dirt ingrained in the grooves of the individual stalks. Trim the stalks of any blemishes at the top and bottom and along the sides.
- 4). Cut the celery into the desired length, making certain they will lie submerged in your pan.
- 5). Fill a pan with enough water to completely submerge the celery and boil uncovered on medium high heat for approximately 45 to 60 minutes or until tender without becoming wilted.
