CHARACTERISTICS
Luxurious kitchen cookware with a revolutionary system of steam control and straining. Unique
glass-stainless steel covers with 3 working positions: 1. NO HOLE FOR STEAM in order to reach
boil quickly and warm up food while saving energy, 2. SMALL HOLE FOR STEAM for comfortable
cooking without overboiling and for straining vegetables cut into small pieces, 3. LARGE HOLE FOR
STRAINING potatoes and pasta and for intense cooking without overboiling. The covers can be placed
in the grips; steam runs back into the vessel.
Made of high-grade stainless steel 18/10, cookware ULTIMA has solid grips of resistant plastic that do
not burn if used properly. All the vessels have a scale for measuring out.
Cookware ULTIMA has an extra thick sandwich bottom. Heat is transferred from the cooker into the
vessels continuously without variation and evenly throughout the bottom. Cooking is easier, without
unwanted overcooking.
The sandwich bottom has excellent heat retaining properties, which economise on energy. The cooker
can be switched off before the end of cooking and the cooker remains efficient even if set to a low
output. Food left in the vessels preserves its temperature for a long time.
Cookware ULTIMA is made to meet the demands of intense and prolonged use and the highest
demands placed on healthy, comfortable and economic cooking.
Cookware ULTIMA is suitable for all types of cookers: gas, electric, vitro-ceramic and induction cookers.

Four pluses for cooking
1. NO HOLE FOR STEAM
Reaching boil quickly and warming up food while saving energy
To reach boiling point quickly and to warm up food while saving energy, place the cover onto the
vessel so that the protruding ends of the handle are directed to the
vessel (pic. 1). Set the cooker to medium or higher output. When the generated steam begins to
escape under the stainless steel rim of the cover, turn the cover to the position or to the position
or reduce the heat output of the cooker (pic. 2, 3).

2. SMALL HOLE FOR STEAM
For comfortable cooking without overboiling and for straining vegetables cut into small pieces, beans,
etc., place the cover onto the vessel so that the protruding ends of the handle are directed to the
position on the grips of the vessel (pic. 2).
Comfortable cooking without overboiling
Set the cooker to low or medium output; an amount of steam which is sufficient for comfortable
cooking without overboiling will continuously escape through the small hole between the vessel
and the cover.
Straining vegetables cut into small pieces
Firmly squeeze the protruding ends of the handle of the cover in the grips of the vessel and strain the
finely cut vegetables, beans, etc. (pic. 5).
3. LARGE HOLE FOR STEAM
To strain potatoes, pasta, etc. and for intense cooking without overboiling, place the cover onto the
vessel so that the protruding ends of the handle are directed to the
vessel (pic. 3).
Straining potatoes, pasta
Firmly squeeze the protruding ends of the handle of the cover in the grips of the vessel and strain the
potatoes, pasta, etc. (pic. 6).
Intense cooking without overboiling
Set the cooker to medium or higher output; an amount of steam which is sufficient for intense cooking
without overboiling will continuously escape through the large hole between the vessel and the cover.
WARNING! For food that tends to create froth when cooked, such as pasta, stock, etc., set
the output of the cooker to generate only a reasonable amount of foam.
WARNING! The stainless steel parts of the cookware can be hot; use protective kitchen aids
for straining – oven mitt, heatproof mat, etc.
4. SETTING THE COVER ASIDE
Steam runs back into the vessel
