DescriptionDescription: In 1946, Skultuna consulted the silversmith Erik Fleming to “design household articles”. In addition to producing attractive designs to increase sales, he was expected to adhere to new guidelines for standard measurements due to the growing number of electric cookers in Swedish homes. Saucepans must also withstand being boiled dry, and lids should fit pans of different volumes. Skultuna Bruk was one of the first Scandinavian manufacturers of aluminium pans. Aluminium cooking vessels conducted heat very well and prevented food from burning as easily.
