Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Sprinkle with cracked black pepper just before serving.

How to Test For Doneness

Pierce the thickest part of the asparagus with the tip of sharp knife or fork. The asparagus is done when the stalk is just tender and meets the knife with slight resistance. Do not overcook the asparagus as this will cause the asparagus to become mushy.
