Instructions
- Set up the sous vide water bath and set the immersion cooker to 180 F.
- Wash and dry the asparagus. Trim the woody portion off the bottom ends of the stalk.
- Put the asparagus in a plastic bag or vacuum seal bag and add the oil and garlic powder. Do not add salt until after cooking.
- If using a plastic bag use the water displacement method to remove most of the air. Don't try to do this in the water bath after it has come to temperature, 180 F is too hot and you could easily get burned. If using a vacuum sealer seal the bag.
- For the water displacement method squeeze most of the air out of the plastic bag and seal, leaving one corner open. Then carefully lower the bag into a bowl or sink full of cool water. The water pressure will push most remaining air out of the bag. Once the air has left the bag completely seal it.
- When the water bath reaches 180 F place the bag of asparagus in it. Make sure the asparagus is fully submerged in the water. You will probably need to weigh the bag down with a spoon or other item, even if is vacuum sealed. Vegetables tend to float in sous vide because of the high water temperature.
- Cook for 10 minutes. If your asparagus is very thin, like the diameter of a pencil, reduce the cooking time to 7 minutes. If your asparagus is very thick, like larger than a finger, increase the cooking time to 12 minutes.
- Serve garnished with salt to taste and lemon slices.
