The inner coatings of Lagostina non-stick pans are made with multiple layers of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), an extraordinary plastic material that causes the "slippery" component of non-stick pans. PTFE consists of tetrafluoroethylene molecules, exclusively containing carbon and fluoride. The non-stick coating is not attacked by acids or alkaline bases and is very stable when heated. The health authorities in the United States, Canada, France, Italy, Europe and other countries have approved use of PTFE non-stick coatings in the cookware sector. It is an inert substance that has no chemical reactions with food, water or detergents. If ingested it is totally harmless; the particles are not toxic and are expelled on their own like normal fibres. The non-stick coating is so safe that it is used also in medicine to coat pace makers and artery replacement prostheses, and has even been injected into patients with severe kidney conditions. For all non-stick coatings Lagostina guarantees the absence of PFOA, cadmium and lead. PFOA is used to manufacture polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a component of the non-stick coating. At 300° C (572° F) PFOA has a life of 0.14 seconds, 99.2% of this component is destroyed in one minute. Lagostina products are subjected to this temperature for 10 minutes during the production cycle. The absence of this component on the finished product is therefore assured, both for its absence in the raw material and for the methods it is treated with. The guarantee on Lagostina coatings covers manufacturing defects, such as bubbles in the coating, flaking and various localised lifting. It does not cover defects caused by misuse or professional use or by wear.

Lagostina is a premium cookware brand from Italy. Since 1901, Lagostina’s core values of impeccable Italian craftsmanship, high-quality materials, technological innovation, and elegant design have endured.

As a big fan of Lagostina cookware (most of our cookwares are Lagostina!), we are thrilled to test and review the Lagostina Domina Vitamin Stovetop Pressure Cooker.

So, we are more than thrilled to get our hands on one of their latest innovation – the new Lagostina Domina Vitamin Pressure Cooker with the open-close patented system « Easy Opening »!

We will evaluate the Lagostina Domina Vitamin Pressure Cooker based on 7 aspects: Appearance & Ergonomics Design, Functionality, Usability, Performance, Accessories, Price, and Warranty.

The stainless steel material is not only a beauty, but it’s also metal-utensil safe, and you can brown a piece of meat directly in the pressure cooker before pressure cooking – one less pan to wash!
