Asparagus Pan

A delicious vegetable, the asparagus! This seasonal vegetable is mainly available in the spring and is also known as white gold. The vegetable is often combined with egg, salmon or ham, and hollandaise sauce. The green variety is available almost all year round and, in addition to grilling, is also delicious to boil. To prepare the vegetable in the finest way possible, an asparagus pan is undoubtedly handy!

Tip: The tip of the asparagus is the most tender. As a result, it hardly needs any cooking. You place the asparagus in the pan and you will see that the tip sticks out above the water. This is exactly the intention, so that the tip of the asparagus is steamed instead of boiled.

What is the advantage of an Asparagus Pan?

As the name suggests, the asparagus pan is specially designed to cook asparagus. The pan offers numerous benefits. First of all, the asparagus can be cooked upright thanks to the tall and narrow design. In this way, the tips protrude above the water, allowing them to be steamed until soft. This results in perfectly cooked asparagus! Additionally, this method of cooking in an asparagus pan benefits the taste and nutritional value of the vegetable. How do you use an asparagus pan? Cooking asparagus in an asparagus pan is very simple! To help you get started, we have compiled the tips below for you. Peel the asparagus and place them upright in the basket. Make sure the tips of the asparagus are pointing upwards. Place the basket in the asparagus pan and fill it with water. Ensure that the tips stick out above the water. Place the asparagus pan on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Let the asparagus cook for a few minutes and then turn off the heat. Now let the asparagus pan stand for 15 minutes

After 15 minutes, remove the basket from the pan and let the asparagus drain briefly on a tea towel.

When choosing an asparagus pan, there are a number of things you should pay attention to. Are you looking, but have no idea which one to choose? Then take into account the points below, which can be found in the specifications at the bottom of the product page!

Heat source: first check if the pan is suitable for your hob, especially if you have an induction hob. Fortunately, there are plenty of asparagus pans nowadays that can be used on both induction and other heat sources, but not all pans are universal. So choose the pan that fits your stovetop! Material: choose the pan made of the material you prefer. Stainless steel and copper, for example, are known for good heat conductivity, while cast iron has a higher durability rating. Get informed and make the right choice. Capacity: consider carefully in advance how many people you are cooking for. Do you have a large household or do you often cook smaller portions? Take this into account when making a choice. An asparagus pan with a diameter of 16 cm, for example, is enough for cooking 2 kg of asparagus. Basket: a good asparagus pan comes with a basket. Choose your pan based on that. With an insert basket, you can easily place the asparagus in the pan and take it out again.
