4. 4

   Sprinkle the asparagus with the salt and cracked pepper and toss in the lemon slices and bay leaf.

   Close the bag, folding it over several times and creasing the folds well to hold the steam in.

7. 7

   Take the baking sheet out of the oven and set it on top of the stove.

   Using a kitchen towel or a pair of kitchen tongs, raise the bag over the plate, open the bag, and slide the asparagus out onto the plate.
