Bottle stand to drain beans flask
Description
I designed this object to drain the glass flask in which I cook beans after washing it. The flask is quite heavy, so it requires sturdy support. The precise dimensions for my flask are: larger diameter = 85.2 mm, smaller (inner cylinder) = 46 mm, inner cylinder height = 90 mm (see Fusion 360 file). A small suggestion for the recipe of “Tuscan-style fiasco* beans”: place the beans in the flask (fresh beans directly, dried beans after soaking overnight), adding water to cover the beans by approximately 3-4 cm. Add a teaspoon of salt, one or two cloves of garlic, a few fresh sage leaves, a pinch of freshly ground pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional). Seal the flask, allowing for steam to escape, and cook over a VERY LOW heat until the beans are cooked. Be patient; it will take at least an hour or more…the recipe takes this name because Tuscan farmers, the night before going to bed, would put the beans to cook in a glass flask (without straw) placed among the embers/wood of the now dying home fireplace…and the next morning they had cooked beans for lunch/dinner. Frankly, I don’t know how possible it is to replicate this procedure, but I assure you that with a simple gas stove and a suitable glass flask (vent cap), if cooked over low heat, you obtain an excellent, very flavorful dish. *: The “fiasco” is a typical bottle mainly used for Tuscan Chianti, very full-bodied with a narrow neck; it is generally wrapped in woven straw to prevent breakage from impacts (my mother was a flask straw-wrapper for a few years in the 1950s…)
