What's your favorite asparagus technique?

As the topic says, what’s your favorite time/temp for doing a portion for two, of asparagus? So it comes out soft and tender?

Thanks all.

Here is how I make asparagus:

Put hot water in container and set machine to maintain 185° F.

Break off bottom the rinse well or even soak in cold water to make sure no dirt remains.

Vacuum seal in bag with a little good olive oil and seasoning(s) of choice.

Immerse in hot water for 10-15 minutes.

Serve or I like to give them a quick sear for even more flavor.

Thanks John. I’ll give that a shot.

What seasonings do you like?

Save asparagus snaps frozen for flavoring risotto.

In addition to a little olive oil I use lemon and fresh tarragon after cooking.

Hmmm. Wouldn’t that make the asparagus cold?
