Cristel 1826 Exceliss non-stick frying pan in brushed 18/10 stainless steel

Cristel' s 1826 non-stick frying pan: high-performance and delicate

The Cristel 1826 non-stick frying pan has been designed to give you controlled, snag-free cooking, even with the most sensitive foods. With the same sober, functional lines of the famous 1826 collection, it features a high-quality Exceliss+ coating. This elegant, technical and durable frying pan is formidably efficient in everyday use! Made in France, it is aimed at cooks looking for a top-of-the-range utensil that is as reliable as it is versatile.

18/10 stainless steel structure

The body of the pan is made of solid 18/10 stainless steel with a brushed finish. This material is appreciated for :

• Its resistance to corrosion, high temperatures and intensive use
• Its impeccable hygiene: it retains neither taste nor odor
• Its longevity, even in daily domestic use

Under the skirt of the pan is a triple-layer heat-diffusing bottom, designed for even, rapid cooking:

• 18/10 stainless steel interior: safe food contact
• Aluminum

• : high-efficiency heat conductor
• Magnetic stainless steel exterior: compatible with all burners, including induction

This bottom resists deformation, and the pan can be used in the oven up to +250°C (excluding grill mode). This is a major advantage for combined cooking or keeping warm.

Efficient non-stick Exceliss+ coating

The main asset of this frying pan is its high-performance Exceliss+ coating. Guaranteed PFOA and PFOS-free, it enables cooking with little or no fat, while ensuring smooth, non-stick cooking. Ideal for :

• Fried eggs, omelettes or pancakes
• Fish, which stays whole without breaking
• Sautéed vegetables, such as potatoes, without sticking
• Fragile dishes that need to be turned without stress

The Exceliss+ coating offers good resistance to wear and tear, as long as care instructions are followed (no metal utensils, moderate heat).

An ergonomic and iconic frying pan

Like all 1826 range cookware, this pan features a conical shape inspired by the very first deep-drawn model invented by Cristel, in 1826. This design ensures :

• more even heat distribution over the entire surface
• gradual evaporation of liquids
• easier access to the bottom of the pan
• wide pouring rim, for serving food and cooking juices without spilling

In terms of grip, the pan features a fixed, polished stainless steel handle, securely riveted for intensive use. Athermic, it stays cool on the plate for risk-free handling. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable, stable grip, even when the pan is full.

Five sizes for every need

To suit all kitchens and appetites, the Cristel 1826 non-stick frying pan is available in 5 diameters:

• 20cm - Ø bottom: 14.5cm → Ideal for a single portion, eggs, small morning dishes
• 24cm - Ø bottom: 18.5cm → Perfect for sautéed vegetables or an omelette
• 26cm - Ø bottom: 20.5cm → Versatile size for two to three people
• 28cm - Ø bottom: 21.5cm → For whole fish, pancakes, generous dishes
• 30cm - Ø bottom: 22.5cm → Perfect for family meals or large skillets

Each pan size ensures excellent stability on the griddle and even cooking, thanks to a perfectly fitted thick bottom.

Our tips for preserving Exceliss+ non-stick properties

Although the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand-washing is recommended to prolong the life of the coating. Here are a few simple tips:

• Use a soft sponge and a non-abrasive washing-up liquid
• Avoid using metal utensils, which can scratch the surface
• Prefer wooden or silicone spoons, spatulas or whisks
• Don't heat the pan empty: always add a little fat at moderate heat

By following these few tips, your frying pan will remain efficient and non-stick for a long time to come!
