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.

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