on the other hand, my preferred method (which i won't say is best because i'm not a douche) is grilling them. olive oil/pepper/salt, straight on the grill, rotating so they don't get darker than light brown. if you're a foof you can skewer them. best with thinnish stalks.
lol. i dont go around call others douches because im not a douche. also you say you're not a douche because you dont say what is best, but you say that the microwave is ABSOLUTELY not the best, implying you know whats best, which is quite confusing. honestly are you messed in the head or something? i just gave an opinion and you respond with unwarranted hostility in a manner that i really dont think the word "douche" could be applied better towards.
for any skeptics, who are interested in learning, here are some others with explanations of why they think using the microwave has benefits for cooking varying fruits and veggies. i also use it temper chocolate, among other things.

also ive tried personally many methods for asparagus and the one i explained above, in my experience, consistently preserves the texture, flavor and color of the asparagus while allowing for a clean finish and infusion of flavors.
