Ottinetti Cookware - made in Italy since 1920, is unique and stylish combining the optimal cooking properties of food grade metal with the beauty of brass. It sits alone in the market as a traditional, handcrafted product designed to last. There is no plastic or ceramic surface that might wear off or become damaged. Ottinetti is lighter in weight than other traditional materials such as cast iron. The bowl shaped base of these classic Italian made colanders are perfect for draining hot pasta or vegetables as the water does not pool in the bottom. DEBUNKING THE ALZHEIMERS MYTH: From the Alzheimers Association of America: “During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminium emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminium through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminium in causing Alzheimer’s.” Brand Information For 100 years Ottinetti have been driven by tradition and innovation, passion and creative spirit to create high quality kitchenware. Ottinetti products are still expertly crafted in Italy by descendants of the original founder Italo Ottinetti. Care & Use 1 Some dulling or darkening of the interior will occur with use.
