Description

Venere glass pot is the ideal product for cooking legumes in a flask. It can also be used as a beautiful design piece for decorating your kitchen or living room.
It was inspired by the shape of the Tuscan Chianti wine flask, which is used in rural tradition for cooking beans.
Venus, the ancient Roman goddess of beauty, love and fertility, is also the second planet in the solar system, inspiring its spherical shape.
Designed by Piercarlo Crachi for Blueside Emotional Design.

RECIPE: BEANS IN A FLASK

Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
400 g white cannellini beans
4 pinches salt
1 pinch pepper or 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 leaves of sage
2 sprigs rosemary
3 cloves garlic in the husk
1 liter still mineral water for the Venere
1.2 liters still mineral water for the Shotel or Morandi

Procedure

Soak the dried beans the day before cooking for at least 12 hours in a pot with water. The water must cover the legumes by at least 1.5 inches (4 cm).
After soaking, rinse them under running water.
Put them inside the legumiera using the plastic funnel.
Add the above ingredients one by one, and at the end add 1.2 liters of still mineral water (1 liter for the Venere version).
Place the heat diffuser over the smallest burner on your gas stove with the flame turned down to the lowest heat. Alternatively, electric burners can be used, but not infrared or induction stoves.
Close the legumiera with the special cork with a glass vent and place it on the burner. Cook for about an hour and a half or more, according to taste and the consistency desired.
If you buy the tasting ladle accessory you can check the doneness of the beans.
At this point, remove from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Do not prolong the resting time, because otherwise the beans continue to cook and risk forming a mass at the bottom of the legumiera, making it hard to remove them.
Pour the contents into a serving dish, using the cooking liquid according to your taste.
Add raw extra virgin olive oil and ground pepper and add salt only if necessary.

Other Variation

Once cooked, beans can be prepared in a thousand other ways, according to each person’s creativity and preferences.
It is suggested that the legumiera be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and dish detergent, and if necessary using a bottle brush, rinsing the inside and outside with deionized water if possible in order to eliminate water spots.
