CHICAGO— Bialetti is bringing its new Mineral-DS line of cookware to the market and will be presenting the assortment at the International Home + Housewares Show, here.
The hard anodized, dishwasher-safe cookware line features a “micro-divot” textured non-stick interior that is designed to provide release, Bialetti said.
Mineral-DS also features a three-layer reinforced non-stick coating and is oven and metal-utensil safe, PFOA-free and can be used on any cooktop surface, including induction stoves, the company said.
Jason Vaske, vp/marketing of cookware and coffee for Bradshaw International, said that there were two consumer trends the company honed in on when creating the cookware— easy cleanup and durability.
“The combination offers consumers what they are searching for in cookware. In development, we discovered an added consumer benefit. The roughed interior disperses oil evenly across the pan bottom, reducing pooling of oil to one side,” he said.
Vaske explained that the Mineral-DS design is manufactured with a steel pellet blasting technique on the interior to create micro-divots on the surface, which increases the hardness of the interior.
“We created Mineral-DS to incorporate the latest non-stick technology, utilizing a steel-blasting surface preparation technique and hard anodized the aluminum vessel,” he said.
The Bialetti Mineral-DS cookware line will be available in 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch sauté pans with a suggested retail price range of $34.99 to $54.99.
