Know before you buy
Cooking asparagus upright allows the thicker, fibrous stems to boil in the water while the delicate tips remain above the surface to steam. This ensures the entire stalk is cooked perfectly without the tips becoming mushy or overdone.
The steamer measures 9 inches tall and 5.5 inches in diameter. You will need a pot that is at least 9 inches deep to accommodate the basket, and wide enough to fit the 5.5-inch diameter comfortably.
The vertical design is excellent for any long or tall vegetables. It works well for ears of corn, carrots, yams, and even artichokes.
Yes, the durable stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and prevent any potential water spotting.
No, the RSVP Endurance Asparagus Steamer is a standalone wire basket. You will need to use a lid from your existing cookware collection that fits the pot you choose to pair it with.
