The Cataplana, this object of mystery is nothing more than a culinary utensil, with Portuguese origins, composed of two pots joined by a safety hinge that closes in a seashell fashion with two hemispheres that allow it to be hermetically sealed. This closure allows for its induction and steam cooking making it the "grandmother" of our pressure cooker and enabling its healthy cooking, without added oils or fats, of foods. The flavor of foods and aromas remain guarded like a pearl in this cooker.
The design, lines and harmony of this Cataplana also make it graceful at the table, where it can be carried by resting it on its stand, making it more secure.
Traditionally made of copper, it thus allows us to combine all the advantages of this noble metal, whose origins take us back thousands of years, and is still the undisputed choice of top chefs around the world. There are also steel and aluminum models that are more easily cleaned.
