1826 Cristel Stainless Steel Saucepan

The 1826 Cristel stainless steel saucepan is a conical, minimalist, and timeless piece that pays tribute to the origins of the French brand. With a clean and highly functional design, made for everyday use, this stainless steel saucepan made in France is the most elegant example that less is more. A kitchen essential, this saucepan is perfect for heating liquids, cooking pasta or rice, blanching vegetables, frying fritters or croquettes, or making a rich pastry cream. And because it has a wide pouring rim, you'll see how neat and easy it is to serve directly onto a plate or into a cup.

The stainless steel saucepan is the most iconic piece in Cristel's 1826 collection, designed by Paul Dodane, a key figure in the brand. The entire line features a conical design inspired by the first drawn saucepan in the world and made in its historic factory in Fesches-le-Châtel, in 1826. This reference to its origins is not just aesthetic: you can see it in the conical shape of the body, in the balance of the design, and in the perfect blend of quality, tradition, and innovation—hallmarks that set Cristel apart.

It is made of European-origin 18/10 stainless steel, a highly resistant, hygienic, and durable material that also performs very well under heavy use. Thanks to its efficient diffuser base, heat is distributed evenly so you can cook in the saucepan with wonderful results. In addition, it is suitable for all cooktops including induction.

Its ergonomic handle, slightly raised, has a distinctive flat design and does not heat up. It is also made of stainless steel with a polished finish, which, in contrast with the brushed-finish body, gives the saucepan a modern and very stylish look. A piece inspired by the past and designed to meet the demands of today's kitchen.
