Konstantin Grcic has designed the new pressure cooker 'Subito' for the Italian manufacturer Serafino Zani.

'Subito' is made of 18/10 extra-thick stainless steel and features patented heat spreader bottom (a 'sandwich' of steel+aluminium+steel) to ensure greater and more uniform heat conductivity. It is compatible with gas hobs, electric cooktops, pyroceram and induction.

This pressure cooker is very easy to close and open and the two valves are extreme safety during use.

Made in 4 different capacities (3, 5, 7, 9 litres), Subito is made in polished or black finishing.

Serafino Zani has been successfully working with Konstantin Grcic since 2007. One result of this partnership has been the 'Passami il sale' programme. The first objects to appear were the steel trays and baskets made using laser technology, and the salad set, a single body made of steel wire. These were followed by the 'Al dente' line of stainless-steel pots and the 'Accento' 18/10 stainless-steel cutlery. The project also includes the 'Aiutante' and 'Nozze' oil&vinegar and salt&pepper sets and the 'Al dente' oven dish-holders made in cordierite porcelain.

The 'Passami il sale' project, developed as a result of the partnership between Serafino Zani and the German designer Konstantin Grcic, has been extended with the addition of the 'Al Dente' pieces.

After the series of trays and containers in laser-cut steel, presented in 2007, the project is now focusing on the kitchen, with a series of pots, saucepans and frying pans in stainless steel.
The additions brought to the classic form of the pot is the inclined profile of the handles and their large dimensions, designed for a safer grip and a lid housed within the body of the pot, and thus closing much more securely.

This line will be presented at the Ambiente Frankfurter Messe from February 8 to 12 2008.
