Mepra and Pininfarina have created STILE, a refined cookware collection for the lovers of Italian beauty. An unmistakable design in which pure lines harmoniously find their place in everyday life. The perfect balance between shape and function: Mepra experience and Pininfarina aesthetic research have created a cookware collection in the pursuit of timeless values: Beauty, Purity, Innovation. With its contemporary, essential look, STILE brings elegance in the kitchen without forgoing functionality, making the cooking experience even more satisfying. The pureness of the lines and the clean, essential geometries shape a collection in which function and style reach the perfect balance. Made of the highest quality 18/10 Stainless Steel, the external matte finish surface contrasts with the glossy-matte finishing of the handles. Capable of working on every type of heating source, including induction, the heat-diffusing bottom with elevated thickness guarantees outstanding heat distribution. Handles are ergonomically shaped and are hollow for better heat resistance.
Item has been backordered so I just received while on vacation; therefore, I have not had an opportunity to use it yet. Appears to be well constructed, has good weight to it for cooking, and stylish design. I thought it had a lid (had looked at several before buying), but due to size can improvise with a lid from my cookware. As another reviewer mentioned, it did not come with instructions as to whether it requires being seasoned or how to do so. Will update once we actually prepare a meal.. Julie. Crestwood, KY.
