Frying pan, paella pan or shallow casserole? If you are looking for a versatile piece to cook at your own pace, serve in style and move from hob to oven simply by attaching or removing the handle or side handles, the Casteline Cristel Multi-Layer Stainless Steel Frying Pan is an excellent choice. Thanks to its system of removable and interchangeable handle and side handles, developed and perfected by the French brand, this multi-layer frying pan is the perfect ally for cooking, serving and presenting your dishes with complete comfort, directly from hob to table. And when you are not using it, you will see how practical it is to be able to remove the handle to store it in the cupboard.
Note: The Casteline frying pan does not include side handles or handle. The handle and removable side handles are sold separately; you can find them individually here or as a set of one handle and two side handles here.
The stainless steel frying pan is part of the Casteline collection by Cristel, which integrates two of the brand's most representative technologies: a multi-layer construction with a tri-ply body and high-performance thermodiffusion base, and its renowned system of removable handles and side handles, with a secure and firm anchoring mechanism that provides comfort, flexibility and optimised storage space. Designed by Paul Dodane and crafted from excellent quality materials, the pieces in the collection stand out for their versatility, efficiency and functional design. A range that elevates the cook&serve concept: from hob to table in a single gesture.
The frying pan features a multi-layer construction that combines a tri-ply body of 18/10 stainless steel and aluminium with a 5-layer thermodiffusion base. Thanks to this structure, heat is distributed evenly throughout the cookware, generated primarily at the base and transmitted progressively towards the walls. This ensures homogeneous, stable and efficient cooking, so you can cook with ease and peace of mind, enjoying perfect results.
