DUROTHERM® PRESSURE COOKER

IT’S TIME   11

The new Kuhn Rikon App makes cooking easier and saves time. Your favourite recipes turn out perfectly thanks to the precise step-by-step instructions.

Countless tried and tested recipes have been installed for all types of cooking. It doesn’t matter whether you use Kuhn Rikon cookware or other pots and pans. Select your recipe in the app and preferred cooking method. A risotto lovingly stirred in your favourite pan? Or in 7 minutes from the DUROMATIC®? Or perhaps you would prefer something soft cooked in our HOTPAN® cookware? Follow the instructions and select your cooking method.

Specifically with the DUROMATIC® Comfort the app also shows whether the pan has been closed properly and the temperature sensors constantly report the cooking time remaining when “guided cooking” is used. This results in successful cooking with no burning.

By the way; the app is continually being expanded with new «yummy» recipes and tips. And as tastes are known to differ, the cooking time can be adjusted on an individual basis. Try it!

The app operates on Android and iOs.

SAYONARA ONION TEARS HELLO SLICING KNIFE

This knife will cause tears of joy to flow at the most – not those routinely associated with cutting onions. Every professional cook knows: the easier a knife blade slides through an onion, the less juice is released to irritate the eyes. Meat as well as fish or herbs can be cut up more precisely, more safely and yes – more reverently. Thanks to their ergonomic handle, knives in the COLORI® Titanium series sit firmly in the hand. The Japanese stainless steel blade is ice-tempered, extremely durable and very, very sharp. Just what professional and amateur cooks like.

» Ice-hardened blade in Japanese stainless steel

» Remains very sharp for a very long time

» Titanium coating protects and strengthens the blade

» Ergonomic, comfortable non-slip handles

» Includes blade protector

THROUGH FIRE AND ICE FOR BETTER CUTTING STABILITYControlled heat and extreme cold make the COLORI® Titanium Knives a tough and uncompromising kitchen aid.

MORE DETAILSk-r.live/t

The blades of the Colori® Titanium Knives are first heated to 1000 degrees Centigrade and then tempered at minus 80 degrees. This strengthens them for a long, tough deployment in the kitchen. The titanium coating gives the blade extra firmness and a beautiful look.

AH! OH! AVOCADO!GREEN SUPER FOODThis green power food is booming. Thanks to its valuable Avocados have become a staple of healthy eating and is especially popular served as guacamole.

AVOCADO 5-IN-1(Art. 23013)

More details: k-r.shop/avo

The avocado is enjoying growing popularity worldwide and is regarded as a healthy superfood. It contains everything the body needs to stay healthy: many unsaturated fatty acids, valuable minerals and vital B-vitamins, as well as vitamin A, carotene, biotin and vitamin E.

It should however be kept in mind that a 3.5 oz. of the fruit is replete with 217 calories. Thus it is not a diet food.

In many simple recipes it does taste deliciously nutty. As classic guacamole, fanned out on toast, as a

spread, cooked with vegetables or in a smoothie. The avocado originates in Mexico. The trees grow over 65 ft. high. More than 400 sorts are now cultivated worldwide. The high demand for avocados is not without problems as some tropical forests are being cleared for its cultivation and the water consumption is very high. When purchasing the fruit due regard should therefore be paid to sustainability.

And how do we know one is ripe? It’s quite simple: it gives to slight pressure.

« Nature can be quite challenging. We have been racking our brains for ages as to how to get the best out of fruit and vegetables. There are countless steps and a lot of fine tuning on the way until design and functionality are in perfect harmony. »Fabian Joder Industrial designer

More details: k-r.shop/wp

A good vegetable peeler does not simply consist of a sharp blade. It also con-sists of ingenuity, perfect ergonomics and the right amount of creativity at the right time in the right place.

The success story of the legendary, transverse vegetable peeler was born in Switzerland! The first vegetable peeler with a transverse, moveable blade was invented in 1947 by Alfred Neweczerzal, a Davos-born descendant of Czech immigrants.

A lot of time has passed since this stroke of Swiss genius. The swiss manufactured peeler (see picture, peeler in the middle) by Kuhn Rikon have been sold in the millions.

IT’S TIME   23

... In cooking and in life. Tobias Gerfin, CEO of Kuhn Rikon, explains what time means to him:

TIME IS TASTE.A fresh harvested fruit tastes delicious instantly. A mature cheese or a fine wine develop their aromas over time.

TIME IS RELATIVE.On holiday it disappears in the blink of an eye. If we are waiting for a delayed flight, it hardly moves.

TIME IS FINITE.A stirring concert reaches the end. Your children leave home.

TIME CANNOT BE TURNED BACK.To experience the birth of your child just once more. To score the winning penalty in the top right corner.

ENJOY TIME CONSCIOUSLY.A sunset by the sea and time stands still. That moment when you stand on the ski slope with untouched powdered snow.

Precisely when cooking in a relaxed way, taking pleasure in eating and keep company with the ones we love, time is then particularly valuable. We wish you many beautiful moments of happiness. Enjoy them.

OUR SWISSNESS SEAL, BECAUSE QUALITY ENTAILS COMMITMENTNearly everyone knows the advertising slogan «Who invented it?» It comes as no surprise that the answer is to be found in Switzerland. Heinrich Kuhn, the founder of Kuhn Rikon, and his son Jacques were passionate inventors as well. Their pioneering spirit produced the DUROMATIC® among other items, the first pressure cooker worldwide with a spring valve, «made in Switzerland» from Rikon.

Today our family firm is active worldwide and has a steadily growing number of employees. We do not only invest in the new and further development of our products and manufacturing techniques, but also in our production site at the company headquarters in Rikon.

In order to keep up with the increasing demand, to remain competitive

globally and to be able to offer a broad product palette, part of our range is manufactured in the EU and the Far East. One thing however always remains unchanged, independently of the origin of our products: the Kuhn Rikon quality requirement. We work together with reliable partners, who meet the strict standards of our Swiss product managers, designers and engineers.

It goes without saying that we check every product – irrespective of where it is made – in our laboratory in Rikon or with external partners (e.g. TÜV, SQTS) rigorously.

It is also important to us that the origin of our products is immediately identifiable for everyone. From the presentation on our website, via the communication on the

packaging through to the marketing of our products we follow a strict guide-line. Our «Kuhn Rikon Switzerland» logo is to be found on all the products manufactured in Switzerland. All other articles bear our «Swiss Design» label. This clear logo usage and practice is consistently used not only on our packaging but also in our channels of communication. You can see the precise key to how this is done below.

But no matter which of our products you decide on, you will always be getting a product with the typical Kuhn Rikon script and the know-how of our design and engineer team.
