Castel'Pro Cristel Mini 3-Ply Stainless Steel Saucepan

The mini 3-Ply stainless steel saucepan Castel'Pro Cristel is a 12 cm saucepan with a rounded base and 3-ply construction, ideal for heating, reducing, or thickening sauces with the skill of the best chefs. This stainless steel pan is made in France and stands out for its elegant design and multi-layer technology that provides complete temperature control, both when increasing and lowering the heat. It heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly throughout the entire body of the saucepan. A small saucepan that delivers big results.

The mini 3-Ply Castel'Pro stainless steel saucepan represents the excellence of professional kitchenware adapted for home use. Designed by Paul Dodane, a key figure of the brand, and developed in collaboration with chefs, it is a premium saucepan that guarantees maximum performance, complete control, and great durability. Made with excellent-quality materials and carefully finished, Castel'Pro is a line of a benchmark in high-end kitchenware.

Its 3-ply construction combines 18/10 stainless steel and aluminum throughout the entire body structure. This allows it to absorb and distribute heat quickly, evenly, and in a controlled way from the base to the rim, thanks to that multi-layer technology. It features an interior measuring scale and is specifically designed to stir or whisk sauces. Its curved base allows the whisk or spoon to reach everywhere and prevents the sauce from sticking to the edges, reducing splashes.

What the mini 3-Ply stainless steel saucepan Castel'Pro Cristel is ideal for

The 3-ply construction of the mini Castel'Pro saucepan ensures an immediate thermal response and even heat across the entire surface, both when increasing the heat and lowering it, giving you precise cooking control. As the whole body heats up, this small saucepan is perfect for:

• Making sauces with maximum precision, easily controlling texture and reduction point.
• Reducing stocks, juices, and broths by efficiently concentrating flavors.
• Emulsifying sauces and creams (beurre blanc, bound reductions, smooth creams) with great ease.
• Heating liquids (milk, stocks, infusions) quickly and evenly.
• Preparing sweet creams such as crème anglaise or pastry cream, or for making caramels and syrups with greater temperature control.
• Melting delicate ingredients such as butter or chocolate without the risk of overheating.
• Frying with less oil and reducing splashes.

Important note: For proper use, it is recommended to heat the saucepan gradually at medium/low power and avoid heating it empty. It should not be used at high power, since its multilayer construction allows for rapid and even heat distribution. It is advisable not to cook above 2/3 of the power your hob allows and to avoid overheating.
