Passed the test with flying colors

After many years my asparagus in a large stainless steel pan with high rim cooked ... yes goes ... I was looking for a perfect solution. After many "visits" in department stores, etc. were chosen specifically this pot. Positive Reasons: diameter 18 cm and height 30 cm, so it fit loosely sometimes good 2.5 kg asparagus into it. Lace is the wire basket, which can be subdivided in addition with a removable cross, so I can sometimes a smaller amount cook without the rods falling over. In the empty "subject" that remains then you can fine the asparagus ends to cook yourself for asparagus soup or to increase the flavor. A crucial point was because actually fit 22 cm long rods in this case with me and the net amount of the gridwork. Overall, the net pot is 23.5 cm high plus about 5 cm lid and has a good thermal ground with 16 cm diameter which rests on absolutely flat ceramic hobs, etc. So the floor fits perfectly on the usual Hobs but is also suitable for induction. The stable glass lid facilitates the observation of the cooking process. A thoroughly thought out solid asparagus pot must be offensichlich bought only once.
It is often complained that as much water needs to be heated .... Now, I bring in the kettle 1 Ltr. For cooking, there is in the pot and place the pot with the asparagus into it, heat it to boiling point and then leave on low stage (ceramic box) easy to remove the asparagus simmering. Thus, only the feet of asparagus in the water the rest is cooked in the steam. Additions as needed about 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar and if you like some good butter and 1 dash of lemon juice. Cooking time depending on the asparagus about 20 to 30 minutes maximum.
