Cristel Castel'Pro Frying Pan

The 5-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots and providing the precise temperature control needed for delicate searing or sautéing.

This pan does not have a nonstick coating; it is made of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter, and ensuring your ingredients are at room temperature.

Yes, the exterior is made of 18/0 stainless steel, which is fully compatible with induction cooktops. It also performs excellently on gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stoves.

The etched markings inside the pan allow you to measure liquids or reduce sauces directly in the skillet without needing extra measuring cups. It is a practical feature that helps maintain precision when following recipes or creating pan sauces.

The stainless steel handle is ergonomically designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handle will become hot, so you must use oven mitts when removing it.

Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with a mild detergent and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.
