Cristel removable handles and side handles

Interchangeable, functional and compatible with all collections featuring the removable system of the French brand, the Cristel removable handles and side handles are the perfect complement to handle your cookware safely and comfortably, and to transform a frying pan into a paella pan or a pot into a saucepan. Their click fastening mechanism, with safety lock and release button, allows you to attach and remove the handle or side handles easily, quickly and safely, even with just one hand.

IMPORTANT!: All Cristel handles and side handles are compatible with all collections featuring the removable system of the French brand. You can interchange them without any problem, as all pieces feature the same attachment mechanism.

These pieces perfectly reflect the philosophy of Cristel, recognised for developing and perfecting the system of removable and interchangeable handles and side handles: solid and functional solutions designed to make cooking easier, without complications. Cristel removable handles and side handles are made in France with Origine France Garantie certification. Their secure and firm locking mechanism provides comfort, flexibility and optimal storage space management. Designed by Paul Dodane and made from excellent quality materials, the handles and side handles of this system turn each piece into a versatile and efficient utensil, elevating the cook&serve concept: from hob to table in a single gesture.

The internal mechanism is made of stainless steel in all removable handles and side handles, whether in wood, stainless steel or bakelite. You’ll see how easy they are to attach and remove, how safe and comfortable it is to handle your pots, casseroles and frying pans, and how practical they are when storing your cookware.
