Test Kitchens Know-How

No double oven, no problem. Follow our plan for a low-stress kitchen-to-table strategy.

• Heat soup on the cooktop.
• Bake the tenderloin (30 to 35 minutes at 500°). It needs to stand at least 15 minutes, but longer is fine; it’s what we do. The tenderloin will stand about 45 minutes.
• Slice while the onion pudding stands and the asparagus broil.
• Reduce oven temp to 350°, and bake the Sweet Onion Pudding.
• Remove from oven, and let stand while the asparagus broil. Set the oven to broil.
• Broil the asparagus 5 1⁄2 inches from heat while the rolls warm on the bottom rack.
