For the WMF Vitalis, designer Peter Ramminger drew inspiration from oven inserts. This was part of the task to make roasting more functional and innovative. Television chef Johann Lafer had the brilliant idea to integrate a thermometer into the glass lid. This allows the temperature to be monitored from the outside without removing the lid. The WMF Vitalis family includes a roasting pan and an aroma steamer in various designs. The stainless steel roasting pan with a glass lid is suitable for both roasting and braising on the stovetop as well as for casseroles in the oven. The easy-care Cromargan® aroma steamers are designed as small cooking kitchens for stovetops. While the roasting pan boils the liquid at the bottom, the ingredients steam one level higher in the rising vapor. For single households, there is the WMF Vitalis Compact with a capacity of 3.5 liters, ideal for small portions. The aroma steamers are available with a conventional lid or a lid with a silicone sealing ring. The range includes matching steaming bowls, steaming inserts, and porcelain dishes in two sizes for small vegetables, puddings, and flans. All WMF Vitalis products feature cool handles and a TransTherm® universal base and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

The lid is made of heat-resistant quality glass and has a silicone sealing edge that fits securely, allowing you to observe the cooking process. Cooking is monitored through a transparent thermometer (up to 100°C). The hollow handles do not get hot during normal use.
