How long to cook cabbage

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 3:00

How is it cut?

Leaves for stuffing need only to go soft enough to fold without cracking.

How do you want it?

How to tell without a timer

Into the ice bath now.

Straight into ice water when the timer ends. Cabbage left in the hot pot keep cooking.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
