Cristel frying pan

Which Cristel frying pan should you choose?

The first criterion to consider when buying your Cristel frying pan is its size. Are you cooking for 2, 4, 6 or more people? If you're cooking for 2 people, a 20 cm Cristel pan is the right size. A 24 cm Cristel pan is perfect for dishes for 4 people. If you're cooking for 6, a 28 cm Cristel frying pan is the best choice. Finally, for a table of 8 or more, the ideal is to cook in a Cristel 30 cm pan. The second criterion determining your choice of Cristel frying pan is the type of food being cooked. Will you be preparing tournedos, fillet of sea bream or pan-fried vegetables? The stainless steel frying pan is dedicated to searing meats, without water or fat. The juices will bind thanks to the Maillard reaction, leaving you with meat that's grilled on the outside and soft on the inside. You can then create a delicious meat jus by deglazing the juices. The non-stick pan features a healthy, ultra-resistant Exceliss+ coating, guaranteed PFOA and PFOS-free. It's perfect for cooking fish, potatoes, vegetables and eggs without sticking. So it's ideal to have a Cristel pan of every kind to cook all your foods! Compatible with all burners, your pans can also be used in the oven to keep food warm or reheat it.

How do I clean and maintain my Cristel stainless steel and non-stick frying pans?

Cristel stainless steel frying pans, whether non-stick or not, are dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance and optimum hygiene. You can also wash your frying pan by hand if you prefer or don't have a dishwasher, but in this case make sure you use a non-abrasive sponge. It's also important to use kitchen utensils, such as spatulas and spoons, adapted to your pans. For example, for your non-stick pan, choose wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the coating. Over time, it is also possible that the coating will become damaged and no longer be as effective. Cristel offers you the possibility of having your stove re-coated if the coating is worn. This is part of an ecological approach to avoid over-consumption, but also economical, as it costs you only about a third of a new product. Your uncoated Cristel stainless steel stove may also show signs of wear and tear, despite optimal daily maintenance. These marks (white, greasy or black) don't mean the end of your stainless steel stove's life! There are simple ways to remove them, such as using white vinegar, lemon juice or black soap.
