Bon Appetit Oval Griddle Pan, by Ettore Sottsass and Christopher Redfern for Serafino Zani

The  award winning "Bon Appetit" pan, designed by Ettore Sottsass and Christopher Redfern, is made of cast aluminium, coated with high quality and resistant non-stick, and characterised by its wide profiles and the high, generous thickness of the material. 

The long handles are made of Bakelite, a heat-resistant material that makes gripping easy and safe.

All the pieces come equipped with a special heat-diffusing base which allows their use on all heat sources: gas, electric plate, glass-ceramic and induction.

The production, done by hand, is carried out through gravity casting. The molten aluminium in the crucible is taken with a "cup" and poured into the pair of moulds which have the shape of the objects inside them. Once the mould has cooled, it is opened and the product removed. The entire turning production process then begins - which must perfectly follow the design of the object -, the application of the base necessary for the four heat sources (gas, electricity, glass ceramic, induction), the application of the non-stick part , the assembly of the handles, the final testing.

The handles of saucepans and pans, and the long handles of other fire pieces have been designed to facilitate grip, thanks to their large dimensions and ergonomic shape. The long handles are made of Bakelite: their particular shape prevents the hand from getting too close to the aluminium part, helping to avoid burns.

With this line, Serafino Zani has introduced an important technical improvement in aluminium fire pieces: all "Bon Appetit" fire pieces are in fact equipped with a special steel base which allows their use on all heat sources, including induction.
