Gentle asparagus steaming – thanks to high-sided shape and wire insert
A tall-sided interior keeps spears upright while the wire insert lifts produce above simmering water so steam, not boiling, does the cooking. The insert measures Ø 14 x 19 cm and suits stovetops around Ø 14.5 cm.
Spears cook evenly without becoming waterlogged, producing tender, well-textured asparagus suitable for simple seasonal recipes.
Versatile pasta and vegetable cooking – with TransTherm universal base and 4.5-litre capacity
TransTherm base distributes heat across the base and stores warmth to maintain a steady simmer for larger portions. The 4.5-litre volume is specified for typical family portions.
Large-volume cooking accommodates spaghetti and vegetables comfortably, while the insert simplifies lifting and draining directly from the pot.
Easy monitoring and mess-free pouring – with glass lid and wide pouring rim
Tempered glass lid allows observation of the cooking process without lifting and losing heat or moisture. A moulded wide pouring rim is designed to reduce drips when transferring liquids.
Accurate timing and neat transfers become straightforward, cutting down on splashes and repeated checks.
