Riffon risotto dish

[Marinag]

Riffon, copperware manufacturer actually has a special risotto pan on sale, which looks very different from any othe pan with a peculiar handle:

Your link sent me to a website with two pans called risotto pans. I don't see any advantage in either of them over a more multi-purpose clad-and-stainless saucier or enameled cast iron pan for risotto.

I believe Williams Sonoma used to sell this same Ruffoni "risotto pan" in the U.S. It seems to be--in fact, I'd go so far as to say it IS--just a small rondeau or sauteuse with an annoying and pointless wire bail handle. (OK, I admit it--that's only my opinion.) The item that they currently offer as a Ruffoni "risotto pan" looks just like a small saucier. In fact, it IS a small saucier. I don't know whether I find this kind of marketing more amusing than insulting, or vice versa.

I have made risotto in a wide variety of pan, as well as an electric skillet. This looks like a very pretty pan and if you have the money to buy it you should certainly feel free to do so, but it will not make better risotto than ordinary pans.
