A classic frying pan with gently rounded sides, for searing, browning and making a pan sauce in the same pan. Made in France, with no coating to wear off.
Five layers, all the way up the sides: three layers of aluminum sealed between polished 18/10 stainless steel inside and 18/0 stainless outside. Food only touches the 18/10 steel, and no aluminum is exposed anywhere on the pan.
The long handle is solid stainless steel on stainless rivets, shaped to stay cool on the stovetop. It works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic, goes in the oven up to 550 F, and can go in the dishwasher.
New to bare steel? Heat the pan empty, add a thin film of oil, and give food time to let go. Our guide to cooking on stainless walks through it.
Made in France, with Cristel's lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. Four sizes from 8 to 12 inches.
Width: 8 in (20 cm), 10 in (26 cm), 11 in (28 cm) or 12 in (30 cm), across the top.
