Cooking asparagus vertically not only helps the tougher ends cook at the same rate as the tender tips, but there’s no need to cut or bend the delicate vegetables to get them to fit into a pot. Need to cook up potatoes, eggs or pasta? This versatile pot does it all, from steaming to blanching to boiling. A tempered glass lid lets you watch your food’s progress, ensuring that everything is cooked to perfection.
