How do broccoli crowns differ from a whole head?

A crown is the head with most of the thick stalk removed. You get the florets and short stems, with less trimming and waste, but you lose the stalk.

How should I store them?

Keep them unwashed in a loose or perforated bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. Use within a few days; yellowing florets are past their best.

What is the best way to cook them?

Steam for about 4 to 6 minutes until tender-crisp, or roast at high heat with oil until the edges brown. Cut florets to similar size so they cook evenly.

Yes. Raw florets work in salads and with dips, though they are firmer and more fibrous than cooked. Blanching for a minute softens them slightly.

Are the stems edible?

Yes. The short stems on a crown are edible; peel any tough outer layer and slice them, then cook a little longer than the florets.
