Cristel Castel’Pro 5-Ply Saucepans, 1 qt.

A 5-ply stainless steel saucepan is ideal for tasks where control matters, like simmering sauces, heating soups and cooking grains. The layered build is designed to heat efficiently and respond quickly when you adjust the temperature.

In this 5-ply stainless steel and aluminum construction, three aluminum layers sit between two stainless steel layers. The aluminum helps the pan heat up and cool down quickly for more precise stovetop control.

Yes. The base layer is 18/0 stainless steel, which makes the saucepans compatible with induction cooktops.

Each saucepan includes interior measurement markings for quick, accurate measuring. Rounded corners make it easier to stir thoroughly and clean afterward, and the rounded rim is designed for smooth, mess-free pouring.

The saucepans have large, easy-to-grip handles that are ergonomically designed for comfort and are made to stay cool on stovetops. As with any cookware, handle temperature can vary depending on burner size and heat level.

The self-basting lid is designed to help return moisture back into the pan as you cook. It can be especially helpful when you want a steady simmer without drying out sauces and other stovetop dishes.
