    Learn more about this Ruffoni

    In Italy, when making pasta, we always reserve some cooking water – it smooths out sauces and helps them cling to the pasta just the way they should. That’s why we designed the Pasta Pot: a compact stockpot with a perfectly fitting strainer insert that lets you lift and drain pasta easily, while keeping the cooking water in the pot for your sauce. Practical and versatile, it’s the go-to pot for everyday pasta meals – and just as handy for simmering stocks, soups, or a comforting minestrone.

    Made with best-in-class clad stainless steel: a thick core of super conductive aluminum alloy guarantees great responsiveness, ensuring food will not burn or overcook. The inside is lined in brushed stainless steel, practical and easy to clean, whilst the external stainless steel layer is induction-ready and hammered by our master artisans to ensure lasting beauty. The stainless steel handles are decorated with delicate leaves, and the lid is crowned by a silver-plated knob shaped like two garlic cloves, crafted by our partner silversmiths in Milan.

    Induction compatible.
    Made in Italy.

    Ideas for use

    Getting the most out of your Ruffoni Stockpot

    Stockpots are approximately as tall as they are wide: a clever proportion that maximizes their capacity, meaning you can cook plenty of food at once.

    Fill with water and any veggies found wondering at the back of the fridge for a light and tasty homemade vegetable stock, or add meat and bones for delicious homemade stock which can be used in any number of dishes (our favorite: risotto!). Alternatively, make a flavor base with soffritto, then layer on your favorite seasonal vegetables and simmer gently for endless soup options, nourishing and satisfying. The stockpot can also be used to gently simmer grains or prepare oatmeal for breakfast, or take a page out of all nonnas' book and mix vegetables, legumes and short pasta for a nourishing minestrone that the whole family will enjoy.

    Bring directly to the table to keep your soup warm until serving and elevate any simple supper to special occasion. Store your stockpot right on the stovetop or on a display shelf when not in use to enjoy its warm shine every time you walk into your kitchen.
