Discover the heritage of the CRISTEL® brand with our new 1826® collection. This brushed-finish stainless steel saucepan reflects the rich and symbolic history of the world of cookware. In 1826, the world’s first stamped saucepan was born, manufactured in our factory in Fesches-le-Châtel. Two centuries later, this new collection, symbolically named 1826®, commemorates this long-standing heritage and embodies the spirit and passion that drives CRISTEL® every day, showcasing the expertise of the men and women who work to bring you high-quality products. The tapered design of this saucepan is no accident since it was manufactured to reflect its ancestor, designed two centuries ago. Its shape provides for compact storage, saving considerable space in your cupboards. Thanks to the efficiency of its heat-diffusing base in three superimposed layers (induction stainless steel - aluminum - 18/10 stainless steel), this induction-compatible saucepan guarantees rapid, even heat distribution over the entire surface of the base, ensuring optimal cooking. Its stainless steel 1-ply body ensures good temperature retention when serving food. The ergonomic, heat-resistant handle, firmly riveted to the body, does not heat up on induction and glass-ceramic hobs, avoiding the risk of burns while guaranteeing a comfortable, secure grip. In addition, its polished stainless-steel finish provides an elegant contrast to the rest of the brushed-finish stainless steel structure. This new set is composed of the following 8 items: 1.5 Qt. Saucepan (6" diameter) with lid / 3 Qt. Saucepan (8" diameter) with lid / 4.5 Qt. Stewpot (9.5" diameter) with lid / 8" diameter Stainless Steel Frying Pan / 10" diameter Stainless Steel Frying Pan The rounded glass lid not only enhances heat distribution but also retains moisture during cooking, ensuring that food stays moist and tastes great. Its stainless steel knob ensures pleasant handling without the risk of burning yourself. Its borosilicate glass structure makes it highly resistant to temperatures of up to 400°F, so it can be used for covered roasting in the oven. Crafted to hold up to the high standards of the culinary industry, the 1826® collection will fulfill the needs of home cooks and professional chefs. Enhance your set with a large range of frying pans, stewpots, and other Made in France items from the same collection.
