Oh hi and welcome back today we are going to be grilling asparagus and the first step your going to want to do in grilling asparagus is cleaning and preparing your vegetables. The way I like to do it is the snap technique where it snaps it will eat. The nice thing about is generally they always end up with the same height and it is beautiful when you are going to your presentation. The next step would be washing your vegetables so we will come on over to our sink where we have our stainless steel strainer again and you are going to want to take cold water. Cause cold water is our friend, hot water carries bacteria and you are going to want to give them a nice general rinse and once you are done you are going to give them a nice shake and you are going to bring them to our pot of water which is on a nice high heat. Once it comes to a boil I like to keep it on a nice high heat just for the purposes of we like to cook it quick. I work in the restaurant business and the restaurant business you have to be quick. So once you put your lid on it's roughly about I will say 2 minutes and then you could pull them out. Once those are done we would move on to our next step which would be actually putting them on the grill and getting them prepare.
