Designed to sublimate your preparations, this pan combines top-of-the-range materials, advanced diffusion technology and formidable ergonomics. Whether you're a passionate cook or an enlightened amateur, it's sure to become an everyday essential.

Top-of-the-range design for controlled cooking

This saucepan is made from brushed 18/10 stainless steel, a material appreciated in the kitchen for its robustness, impeccable hygiene and absence of taste transfer. Its composition (18% chromium, 10% nickel) gives it :

• Enhanced resistance to oxidation and scratches
• Long service life, even in intensive use
• Perfect food neutrality, ideal for all ingredients

Beneath its elegant satin finish lies a triple-thickness thermodiffusion capped base. It is composed of :

• An inner layer of 18/10 stainless steel: safe food contact
• An aluminum core: fast, even thermal conductivity
• An outer layer of magnetic stainless steel: compatible withinduction and all burners

Thanks to this structure, temperature rise is rapid and cooking remains uniform over the entire surface. And as the pan can withstand temperatures of up to +300°C in the oven, it's perfect for long cooking, reduced sauces, or even express cooking.

But the real signature of this range is its emblematic conical shape, inspired by the very first model stamped by Cristel in 1826. This historic design also brings real practical benefits:

• Natural evaporation of liquids, ideal for reductions and caramelizations
• Better accessibility with utensils for stirring or scraping
• More even cooking, with no build-up in corners
• Easier pouring thanks to the integrated wide pouring rim

Cristel saucepans designed for your comfort

This pan has a polished stainless steel handle and is riveted. Not only does it have an elegant design, it is also designed to stay cool on the hob, and offers an excellent grip. Robust, it ensures safe handling without gloves or potholders.

Available in a choice of three sizes, the pan adapts to all your needs:

• 16cm - volume: 1.3L; height: 8cm - perfect for preparing a portion of rice, a sauce, or melting butter without getting it all over the place
• 18cm - volume: 1.8L; height: 8.5cm - ideal for steaming vegetables, making béchamel sauce or hard-boiled eggs

Easy maintenance and everyday durability

In addition to its culinary performance, Cristel's 1826 saucepan is designed to simplify your life. It is dishwasher-safe, but can also be washed by hand. To keep its original shine:

• Use a soft sponge and a standard washing-up liquid
• In the event of stubborn marks, a special stainless steel paste will restore the shine
• Simply avoid abrasive sponges and metal utensils
