Notes
Cook’s note:
The best way to keep fresh asparagus for a long while in the refrigerator is to slice off the stems and then stand them in a bowl with a couple of inches of water in the bottom. It keeps for a very long time this way. Add water as necessary.
Tip
Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
