Stefano Giovannoni stimulates our imagination with his Mami cookware design. The Alessi Mami pots and pans with their fun, round belly shapes evoke images of a happy kitchen. 18/10 stainless steel cookware has sandwiched aluminum base for even heat distribution and for induction cooking. Hollow handles are less hot. The alessi Mami cookware has a good selection of sizes and shapes: stock pots, saucepans, and low wide pots that substitute for fry pans. 4 sizes of non-stick coated fry pans are also part of the Mami cookware. Mami Pots and pans can be used on induction, gas, electric and ceramic cook tops. Immediate hand washing is recommended for the Mami cookware.
