Asparagus Steamer

The asparagus steamer is characterized by its tall, narrow shape. Because of its length, this steamer is ideal for preparing your asparagus. With this multifunctional asparagus steamer, you can also easily cook spaghetti and other "long" vegetables. Thanks to its basket or insert, you can easily lift out the contents of the steamer for easy draining!

Tip: asparagus tips are the most tender. That's why it hardly needs cooking at all. Put the asparagus in the steamer, and you'll see that the tips stick out of the water. That's the point: the tip of the asparagus is steamed rather than boiled. Wondering how to cook asparagus?

Induction asparagus steamer

Induction cooking is contactless, flameless, and fast. However, not all pans are suitable for induction. At Cookinglife, you'll find an asparagus steamer suitable for induction. Our range includes several induction asparagus steamers in different sizes. For example, you can choose from 5.5-liter, 4.2-liter, 4-liter and 3-liter pans. Whichever induction asparagus steamer you buy, it always comes with a practical steam basket. This makes it easy to remove the asparagus from the steamer. What's more, we offer asparagus steamers not only for induction, but also for other heat sources, such as gas hobs.

Stainless steel asparagus steamer

Looking for a top-quality steamer? Select a stainless steel asparagus steamer. This material is very robust, so the pans have a long service life and also ensures good heat conduction. All the asparagus steamers in our range are made of stainless steel, and represent the absolute top of the range in terms of quality. Thanks to the material, the asparagus steamers are scratch and impact resistant, and also feature a highly polished stainless steel rim.

What to look out for when buying an asparagus steamer?

To make sure you make the right choice for your asparagus steamer, here's a list of tips.

• Material: what material is the steamer made of? Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. Stainless steel and copper, for example, are known for their good thermal conductivity. Cast iron, on the other hand, is renowned for its durability. 

• Basket: a good asparagus steamer is equipped with a basket, so you can easily place the asparagus in and remove it from the steamer.

• Capacity: think carefully about the number of people you usually cook for, and take this into account when making your choice. A 16-centimeter diameter asparagus pan is enough to cook 2 kg of asparagus.

Heat source: which hob will you be cooking on? Not all pans can be used universally on all hobs, so choose a pan that's right for your particular hob.

How to use an asparagus steamer?

Asparagus steamers need to be used differently from traditional frying pans. To help you, we've put together the following tips.

1. Peel the asparagus and place vertically in the basket. Make sure that the asparagus tips face upwards.

2. Place the basket in the asparagus steamer and fill with water. Make sure the asparagus tips protrude from the water.

3. Place the asparagus steamer on the stove and bring the water to the boil. Let it boil for a few minutes, then turn off the heat. Leave the asparagus steamer to stand for 15 minutes.

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