Cook for 3-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears. Thinner spears will cook in 3 minutes. Thicker could take up to 12 minutes. I recommend checking them every 3 minutes or so!

Notes

To store: Store in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.

To freeze: You could freeze this asparagus after cooking it for sure, up to 3 months in an air-tight container. You may not want to, though. The texture is likely to be akin to canned asparagus when you defrost it. Very soggy and kind of stringy. But some people don't mind freezer food. I'm more picky!
