edo asparagus steamer with basket
Design Patricia Urquiola, 2017
18/10 stainless steel, PVD coating
Made by Alessi
Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Edo saucepans constitute a blend of different cultural references and formal suggestions. Edo is the former name of Tokyo and the reference to Japan for this project originates from a crockery set that Patricia Urquiola uses in her own kitchen. She purchased these saucepans in Japan, and their simple, graceful design was the source of inspiration for the Edo series. The name Edo also brings to mind the Latin term "edere", in other words "to eat", and it further expresses that encounter between different cultures that has inspired the entire project.
This series is also rich in the assortment available: Edo features multiple types of pans, available in various sizes and materials, so you can choose the utensil that best suits your particular kind of cooking. The asparagus steamer features:
- A high-sided, narrow, cylindrical pot with basket and lid. Made of 18/10 stainless steel. The pot and lid feature a polished exterior finish with a satin finish on the inside.
- The handles, which are welded to the body of the asparagus steamer, are made of precision cast 18/10 steel with a bronze PVD finish. TIG welding is used to secure the handles, ensuring top quality attachment and durability.
- This utensil is ideal for cooking asparagus. It enables boiling to absolute perfection. The asparagus is placed vertically inside the basket, leaving the tips pointing upward, outside the water.
- Once cooked, the comfortable handle on the basket allows extraction from the pot and easy removal of the asparagus, ready to be enjoyed or used to create one of the many dishes that contain this delicious vegetable.
- Ideal for asparagus lovers and for those who appreciate its excellent nutritional qualities. Rich in fibre, vitamins and mineral salts, no healthy, natural detox diet would be complete without asparagus.
- Dishwasher-safe
10" w | 7" d | 10.5" h | 4qt. 7.5oz.
