What It’s Made Of
CRISTEL cookware stands out for its premium materials. Their frying pans and saucepans are comprised of three layers of aluminum sandwiched between premium 18/10 stainless steel (18 percent chrome; 10 percent nickel) on the inside, and induction-compatible 18/0 stainless steel on the outside. The chrome ensures rust resistance, and the nickel improves the material’s taste neutrality.
Pricing
The price of this high end set reflects its superior quality and durability. It typically retails for $959.99, although the brand frequently offers discounts, so keep an eye on the official website— especially around holidays, to take advantage. And keep in mind that cookware of this caliber does not need to be replaced as frequently as other, lower-quality pieces, which means it’s an investment that is sure to pay off in the long run.
