For the WMF Vitalis, designer Peter Ramminger was inspired by oven inserts. This was part of the task to make roasting more functional and innovative. Television chef Johann Lafer had the brilliant idea of integrating 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 aromatic steamer in various versions. The stainless steel roasting pan with a glass lid is suitable for both frying and braising on the stove as well as for casseroles in the oven. The easy-care Cromargan® aromatic steamers are designed as small cooking kitchens for stovetops. While the liquid boils in the bottom of the roasting pan, 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 quantities. The aromatic steamers are available with a conventional lid or a lid with a silicone sealing ring. The range includes matching steaming trays, steaming inserts, and porcelain bowls 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 control is provided by a transparent thermometer (up to 100°C). The hollow handles do not get hot during normal use.
