An asparagus cooker?An asparagus cooker...You are actually thinking of buying an asparagus cooker.... Wow.
There are people in the world who are starving and you are seriously considering buying an asparagus cooker?
You have at least a dozen pans that will cook asparagus (and yes pasta) just fine.Take the money you were going to spend on this and give it to your local Mission.
Do it now while there is still time to save yourself.

- An item for a future garage sale
While this pot was certainly useful for it's intended purpose, I did find it somewhat awkward to remove the hot, steamed asparagus to a serving plate.Because the asparagus is standing upright in a deep, narrow pot, in a wire basket, it inevitably fell out like pick up sticks, and I'd have to get out the tongs and rearrange the stalks on the platter. Some stalks would break in the process.I think the idea of cooking asparagus upright like this is to cook the thicker end of the stalks more than ... Read More

If you don't, you end up with a short end of the pasta not cooked sufficiently when the rest of it is.
Having said that I still think it is a very good piece of cookware and I use it frequently ... Read More

You can put pasta, vegies etc into the basket and it is very easy removable. The little hook let's you get the basket higher - away from watter on the bottom - and dry it. I ... Read More
