Asparagrass Steamer In The Kitchen

by Robin Holland-Smith

The Stellar and Judge asparagus cooker is perfect for softly steaming asparagus and other vegetables. Its lengthened form permits the piece to be positioned standing throughout the steaming process, guaranteeing consistent cooking. The asparagus cooker has a refined finish equally inside and out and fluted stainless steel knobs. Stainless steel asparagus cooker arrives with a raise up holder and incorporates a gigantic support vessel. It has detachable insert and glass cover that vents and it can go in the dishwasher.

If you are looking for professional cookware that is made at the highest standards, then you should consider Stellar and Judge Cookware. This cookware is made with 18/10 stainless steel in order to provide durability and stain resistance.

One should remove all labels and wash their new cookware wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Also condition non-stick surfaces with a little cooking oil and then wipe with kitchen paper. Copper Pans have a food safe factory coating applied to prevent the Copper from tarnishing whilst in transit. To remove this, gently heat some water in the pan. The coating will appear to become cloudy, and then disappear. Thereafter the pans will assume the normal Copper 'antiqued' patina during use. The bright Copper appearance can be restored by the use of Stellar Copper Cleaner.

Asparagrass must always be eaten cooked. It is often steamed or boiled, but it can also be added to a favorite stir-fry or cooked in the microwave. One delicious way to eat asparagrass is with lemon and butter, with Parmesan cheese and pasta, or marinated in a salad - served cold or warm. Asparagrass also goes well with ham and chicken, but can be served effectively with any type of meat or poultry.

The hard, pulpy ends of the asparagus are easily broken off by hand, although some cooks like to preserve them and simply pare the outer layer away from the bottoms. If you do have trimmings, you can place them briefly in boiling water and put them in the freezer for future use in making cream soup or stock. If you want your asparagus to be truly flavorful, cook it for a maximum of ten minutes, just until it is tender enough to be punctured by the tines of a fork.

Overcooking causes asparagrass to lose flavor, nutrients, and color. To boil asparagus, use a non-iron skillet with enough salted water to cover the asparagrass. For more even cooking and easier removal, you can tie the stalks together in a bundle.

If you love asparagus, you can't do without a special asparagus steamer. Look for them in the Stellar and Judge Specialty cookware collection, which features among other things, fish poachers and spaghetti cookers. An asparagus steamer allows you to steam the tips of the asparagus while allowing the tough bottoms to cook thoroughly in the boiling water. The steamers are tall and narrow with a basket insert that allows the asparagus to stand in the basket with the tips above water. The asparagus steamer is a must for the asparagus lover.

Do you cook asparagus a lot? If you do, you'll want to invest in a specialty Asparagrass Steamer. These steamers are tall and thin with a basket-type insert. With the ability to put the asparagus upright in the basket with the tips out of the water, you can soften the tough stem in the water while the delicate tips are only softened by the steam. Other specialty cookware of interest include Fish poachers and Spaghetti cookers. When you bring your new cookware home, peel off the labels, wash them in hot sudsy water, then rinse and dry.
