La Cintura Di Orione Copper seafood pot

La Cintura di Orione is a unique cookware set that combines the undisputed design mastery of Richard Sapper and the expertise of culinary celebrities from France and Italy. Alain Chapel, the Troisgros family, Raymond Thuilier, Roger Verge, Gualtiero Marchesi and Angelo Paracucchi are all chefs, gourmets and culinary authorities with whom Richard Sapper consulted on the optimum shape, dimensions and materials for the cookware. The result of the collaboration between culinary and design masters is an extremely elegant and practical dinnerware set with captivating aesthetic qualities. Some of the cookware is made from an exceptionally beautiful combination of polished copper and stainless steel, which mesmerises with its deep orange sheen.
The elliptical cookware with an impressive length of 60 cm is used to prepare fish, shellfish and meats of exceptional length (e.g. zamponi, the Italian dish of pork legs). Developed with the active participation of French culinary maestro Roger Vergé, the pot is made of heat-conducting copper lined with 18/10 stainless steel. The pot is equipped with a lid and a rack that allows the food to be positioned at three different heights. This allows ingredients to be cooked or stewed at 1 cm above the bottom, steamed (4 cm) and placed at rant level to drain. Thanks to its polished copper finish, the cooker looks particularly attractive.
