WMF unveils cooking perfection

FOR THE PASSIONATE HOME CHEF always in pursuit of perfection when it comes to cooking for family or friends, WMF has proved to be an indispensable companion in the kitchen. No wonder, since the household name in premium cookware has been setting standards with its innovations for more than 160 years - from the precision of its kitchen knives to time-saving pressure cookers, stylish cutlery and table accessories.

WMF has never rested on its laurels, either. Constantly striving to create timeless, beautiful products with a high level of craftsmanship, it recently unveiled its groundbreaking Fusiontec cookware series as part of the top-of-the-line Signature Range.

TOP PERFORMANCE

A pot that heats up fast, is scratch-resistant and requires the bare minimum of oil for efficient cooking - such is the ultimate tool for the health and energy-conscious home chef. To create such a product, WMF banked on its innovative technology to combine the best properties of different cookware materials. Imagine, then, the speed of copper, the ultra high heat-retention capability of cast iron, the scratch resistance of glass, corrosion-resistance of stainless steel and the thermal conductivity of aluminium. Fusiontec delivers cookware that does all that and more.

The making of Fusiontec is a highly complex one. It starts with a steel core to which multiple mineral layers are applied one after the other using different firing processes at extremely high temperatures. That results in its unique, highly scratch-resistant, robust material with excellent heat distribution and retention.

With typical Made-in-Germany quality, Fusiontec cookware is made to last, with a timeless sleek design in trendy colours and a delicate metallic finish. The sturdy yet beautiful pots look as good as they cook, and lend a luxurious touch to any kitchen - they're too pretty to be kept inside a cupboard.

FUSIONTEC AROMATIC

In the mood for a delicate, creamy risotto or a hearty tajine? With the latest Fusiontec Aromatic cookware,you'll get perfect results with its innovative design that retains maximum flavour. Key to the Aromatic is its 'dimpled' condensation lid that preserves up to 25 per cent more juices inside the pot, so you never have to worry about all that precious goodness dissipating from your soup or stew while it cooks.

The weight of the lid keeps it firmly on the pot, while the stainless steel knobbled surface on its underside creates a rain-like effect while cooking, for perfectly even condensation. The special design of the lid also allows you to add cold water or ice cubes to enhance the condensation effect. This gives your cooking a more intense and natural flavour.

Thanks to the unique Fusiontec material and its fast-heating effect, Fusiontec Aromatic uses less energy, and only a little oil is needed for you to saute your aromatics and add all your other ingredients. It's so versatile that you can use it for more than braising stews or making soups. Try a quick stir-fry or even make flavourful and healthy fried rice. Congee is especially smooth and full of tasty goodness when prepared in the Fusiontec Aromatic.

FUSIONTEC COMPACT

Just because you're tight on kitchen space doesn't mean you have to scrimp on your cookware collection. WMF has cleverly created a collection of multi-tasking space savers that you'll love.

The Fusiontec Compact series comes in different colours, with matching glass lids so you can peek at all that deliciousness bubbling within. Most of all, these full-sized pots and accessories can be neatly stacked - Marie Kondo would be proud, indeed. And for the avid home chefs, it's an excuse to indulge in some of the finest cookware ever made. With a 30-year warranty on the inner and outer surfaces behind it, you'll be using them for a lifetime.
