Can you over boil an artichoke?
Online Answer
Preparing artichokes is quite easy though I have found that many home cooks, even accomplished ones, often overcook them, so that both the delicious tips of the leaves and the hearts are mushy. They shouldn't be. ... Some artichokes are tender after being boiled or steamed for 15 minutes.
