Professional chefs choose Stellar and Judge Cookware because of its adherence to the highest cookware standards. This cookware is constructed of 18/10 Stainless Steel (with 10% nickel and 18% chrome) that is premium grade. This alloy allows the cookware to resist stains and gives it an optimal hardness.
Before using new cookware, one should be sure to remove any labels and wash in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry it. Non-stick surfaces should also be conditioned using a tiny bit of cooking oil spread on the surface, wiping it then with paper towel. There is a food-safe factory coating found on copper pans to keep them from tarnishing during transport, and this can be removed by heating water gently in the pan, which will make the coating become cloudy in appearance before it disappears completely. After the coating has been removed and one begins to use the pan, it will develop the copper ‘antiqued’ patina one normally sees. If desired, Stellar Copper Cleaner can be used to restore the bright copper appearance to the surface.

After cooking, it can be eaten either cold or warm, alone or with a meal. There is no end to the ways to cook or eat this wonderful vegetable.
You can cut the tuff ends off and peel the remaining outer tuff skin away or you can simply snap the ends off. Don’t throw the ends away, they are great for freezing and later can be used in soup. Do not cook the asparagus for longer than 10 minutes, you want to be able to stick it with a fork, but you don’t want it to be mushy.
Overcooking causes asparagrass to lose flavor, nutrients, and color. To boil asparagus, use a non-iron skillet with enough salted water to cover the asparagrass. For more even cooking and easier removal, you can tie the stalks together in a bundle.
