131. Steamer Basket Method: Fill a large pot with about 1 in (2.5 cm) of water and bring to a rolling boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket (or metal colander) inside the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Once done, season with a bit of salt.
14Large Skillet Method: Fill a large skillet filled with just enough water to cover the bottom, and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the broccoli florets directly in the skillet, and cover it with a lid. Steam the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes on low heat, or until it's bright green and tender-crisp. Once done, season with a bit of salt.

What it reads	Made by	Does K0 wait for it?
Every Level 1 line	Level 1	yes, it is there from the start
Web pages only: each line's role tag from the page	Level 1	yes, it is there from the start

Waits for: nothing; it runs first

Ran at the same time as, in this run: nothing

K0 labels every Level 1 line with its role, and marks the line where each recipe starts. Every later step reads these labels: K1 takes the title and servings lines, K2 the ingredient lines, K4 the method lines.

Why a model is needed here. This is a pdf, so its Level 1 is plain transcribed text with no role tags. A web-page Level 1 carries tags and skips the model entirely.
Code guesses first. Code gives every line a rough first role.
Haiku checks. Haiku 5.5, thinking off, with the full verbatim rules for this step, sees all 14 lines (each cut at 240 characters) with code's guess. It returns one role per line and the line where each recipe's title starts.
Code keeps the valid answers. A role is kept only if the line number and role are real. A line Haiku skips keeps code's guess, and if the call fails, code's guesses stand.

Waits for: K0

Ran at the same time as, in this run: nothing

K1 fills three tables: Title (name, servings, total time), Cook Time (prep, cook, total) and Extras (text that is not a step or an ingredient, such as the headnote).

Code drafts all three. Title: the first title lines. Servings: a pattern match for lower and upper numbers, with leftover words sent to Extras. Times: a pattern match for each label and its value. Extras: the headnote, note and label lines.
Haiku checks two things. Haiku 5.5, thinking off, with Ryan's R1 to R21 rules, sees only the lines that are not ingredients or method (here lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12), plus code's draft. It returns the Cook Time label and value pairs, and which lines go to Extras with a name for each. It never writes the title, the servings or the Extras text.
Code keeps only what is printed. A time is kept only if its value is printed on a time line. Extras text is always copied word for word from Level 1. If the call fails, code's draft stands.
Then the Nov 4 rules step. Code, right after K1: a "Takes" line fills the total time (R82), a title loses a closing colon (R80), "Serves 4 as a main, 8 or more as a side" gives 4 to 8 (R81), and an Extras note keeps its mark or number in its name (R77).
