Pasta cooker 24cm with glas lid

Perfect pasta in our pasta pots

Cooking perfect pasta isn't strictly reserved for Italians. Pasta is a staple food in most households – and it tastes especially good when cooked in the right pot!

Pasta cooked in the right pot – a gourmet delight

You can't go wrong with pasta, can you? Oh yes you can! If the pasta is too soft or too hard it takes away a lot of the pleasure of eating it. A WMF pasta pot is the perfect tool for perfect pasta. In our special pots, you get the best out of any type of pasta. Did you know that there are more than 100 different types of pasta? Among the favourites are tagliatelle, spaghetti and fusilli. Our pasta pots are specially designed to cook each type of pasta so that it can be fully enjoyed. The pots' attractive design, available in a range of sizes, is so aesthetically pleasing that they can be used to serve pasta as well as to cook it in. We recommend our serving pieces in addition to the pasta pots to help you get the pasta out of the pots easily and cleanly.

Become a pasta pro – with the help of WMF pasta pots and the right guidance

The oldest pasta recipe in the world was created in China 4000 years ago. Pasta has been known in Germany for around 400 years – the traditional Swabian spaetzle remain a German favourite today. Because of this, the WMF spaetzle press now forms part of our assortment. Pasta doesn't need to be homemade for it to taste good, but it's all about the right pasta pot and the right way of preparing it. You know that pasta is just right when it is "al dente", a little bit soft on the outside but firm to the bite on the inside. The ideal pasta pot is tall and has a large enough capacity to hold pasta and the water to boil it in. The basic rule is that the pot should only be filled two-thirds of the way to the top. Our pots made from rust-proof Cromargan® stainless steel have a stand ring so that the water does not boil over. The pasta is cooked in the allocated amount of time and then drained through a colander. And last of all it is time to serve and eat it – bon appetit!

WMF pots – for amateurs and professionals alike!

It isn't just pasta pots that give you the perfect results, but the other pots from the WMF assortment as well. Choose your favourite pots and pans from our cookware selection to enhance your frying and cooking experience.

The right lid for every pot!

Every pot comes with a matching lid. Our pots are fitted with high-tech lids which also have special functions to help you cook.

WMF pot lids have it covered.

But which lid is the right one? The lids in our collections are not only made to physically fit the pot, but they are made to look right with it as well. WMF metal lids combine safety with the high standards that the professional chef as well as the enthusiastic amateur have come to expect. The lids are in most cases fitted with hollow handles. The thermal break means the handle stays comfortable to touch when the lid is on the pot sitting on the hotplate. The lids are made from our tried-and-tested Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 and it should go without saying that they are dishwasher safe and suitable for induction hobs. We offer lids both in matte and polished designs, meaning that you can always find the lid that goes best with your pot.

Our lids are completely watertight.

Traditional lids are in most cases made to be non-insertable. The heavy design of the lid can also reliably close the pot without hermetically sealing it. A non-insertable lid doesn't have a seal, unlike for example a pressure cooker lid, but the specially designed edge ensures a perfect fit. A number of lids have a vent hole to stop an unwanted vacuum from building up inside the pot.

Spare lids – making sure you always have the size you need!

Our lids may be robust, but no item of cookware is accident-proof. If you want to replace a lid for one of our pots then we recommend measuring the diameter of the pot just to be sure before placing your order with us. Measurements should be taken at the top inside edge if you want to be sure you're ordering the right one. Because our pots and frying pans are meticulously designed to provide a perfect fit, the measurements don't need to be exact. We sell pots in diameters from 12 to 32 cm, and you will be able to find a matching lid for any pot in our product range, whether you need a replacement or just want a spare.

Pots and lids – quality from WMF

Pots and lids come together as a perfectly harmonised unit both in our cookware sets and when bought as individual items. Choose pots with lids from our collections that aren't just functional but aesthetically pleasing as well. If you want to keep an eye on your cooking at all times then we recommend our collection of lids made from heat-resistant high-quality glass.

The better the cookware, the tastier your dinner!

Cooking is no different to any other household task: the better the tools, the easier it is to get good results. When it comes to pots this advice should particularly be taken seriously. The right cookware makes cooking a real joy!

Every pot is different – take your pick!

Nowadays any chef, whether amateur or professional, can choose from a wide range of pots. Differences in shape, construction and material make each WMF pot specially suited to its intended use.
