introduced in 2007 by alessi, the pasta pot by ducasse and jouin is a result of a rediscovery by Alain Ducasse of an ancient cooking method used by olive pickers. ducasse, one of the greatest chefs of our time, has brought to light a unique pot which produces a new and interesting flavor (i.e. the starches are not discarded
with the cooking water but are totally absorbed by the pasta, and the same holds true for the ingredients of
the sauce).
first you put the dry pasta in the pasta pot, sauteing
lightly if you wish; then the various ingredients of whichever sauce you wish to make; then last comes water
or broth, all at once or gradually, cooking everything together with the specially designed cover, stirring
occasionally. in just a little more time than normally required to boil the pasta according to the classic
method, your pasta with sauce is done and served directly at the table on the included trivet. a booklet containing a number of recipes developed by
Ducasse himself is included.
dimensions: 2 qt 26.5oz. 17.5 x 9.5 h 5.5. includes: one casserole in multiply (AISI 430, aluminum, 18/10 stainless steel), one
lid in 18/10 stainless steel, one spoon and one trivet in melamine.
