This is a foolproof recipe for tender, snappy asparagus using sous vide mode in the Anova Precision Oven. If the time and temperature settings look familiar, that's because we're using the same values as we would when cooking sous vide, but with no need for a bag or a water bath. The steam keeps the moisture in the asparagus from evaporating away, and the precise temperature control ensures you get perfect texture and vibrant color, and that you never have to go back to the dry, shriveled asparagus of the past.
