Cristel traces its origins to 1826 in Burgundy, France. The company produces stainless steel cookware in its own manufacturing facility. Cristel is known for cookware with removable handles. This system allows pots and pans to move easily from stovetop to oven and helps save storage space in the kitchen. The cookware uses multi-layer stainless steel construction that distributes heat evenly during cooking. Cristel holds the French EPV certification, which recognizes companies that preserve traditional craftsmanship and industrial expertise.
