Asparagus Steamer
The asparagus steamer is characterized by its tall, narrow shape. Because of its length, this steamer is ideal for preparing your asparagus. With this multifunctional asparagus steamer, you can also easily cook spaghetti and other "long" vegetables. Thanks to its basket or insert, you can easily lift out the contents of the steamer for easy draining!
Tip: asparagus tips are the most tender. That's why it hardly needs cooking at all. Put the asparagus in the steamer, and you'll see that the tips stick out of the water. That's the point: the tip of the asparagus is steamed rather than boiled. Wondering how to cook asparagus?
