The Tegamino egg pan was desgined by Alessandro Mendini for Alessi. In designing the pan Mendini was consulted by Italian gastronomy expert Alberto Gozzi. Mendini and Gozzi chooses to produce the pan out of trilaminate that is ideal for preparing eggs in the most efficient way. This was needed according Mendini since he considered himself as a lousy chef that even with fried eggs had one or two mishaps. Therefore, the pot is of course predestined for use as an egg pan, but of course it can also be used to prepare other dishes. The silhouette of the pan resembles a frying egg which again emphasizes the function of the pan. The Tegamino pan is in a new condition and never been used. Delivered with original packaging.
