What could be better than cooking with products crafted alongside the world’s greatest chefs? That’s the challenge we embraced. In close collaboration with Michelin-starred chefs, we designed the Castel Pro stainless steel Sauté pan to meet the highest standards of professional kitchens. Ideal for everything from browning ground beef and sautéing vegetables to searing meats, this versatile pan is available in two convenient sizes: 3.5 Qt. and 5.5 Qt.
Crafted with our patented ULTRAPLY® Light technology, the Castel Pro Saute pan features a robust yet lightweight 5-ply construction that’s easy to handle, even in fast-paced cooking environments. The aluminum-reinforced layers provide exceptional thermal efficiency, delivering rapid, even heat with no hot spots. This responsiveness allows for precise temperature control, making it easy to shift from high-heat searing to gentle simmering in seconds.
The pan is equipped with a solid stainless-steel handle that remains cool to the touch during cooking. Ergonomically designed and securely attached with stainless rivets, the handle offers a safe, comfortable grip. ULTRAPLY® Light technology also supports low-temperature, fat-free cooking, preserving the texture, color, and nutritional value of your ingredients while enhancing their natural flavors.

BEFORE USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, wash your CRISTEL product in very hot water with liquid dish soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
Cooking: The CRISTEL thermodiffuser base or multiclad construction are made of 3 to 5 separate layers of material, thereby guaranteeing optimal heat distribution.
Once the desired temperature has been reached, REDUCE the heat source to avoid overheating your ingredients.
If cooking with GAS, make sure that the flame never extends beyond the thermodiffuser base.
Fat-free cooking with an Stainless Steel base: Preheat your CRISTEL product.
The ideal cooking temperature is reached when dropping some water, it turns instantly into tiny rolling bubbles.
Reduce then the heat by a third. You can now place the meat in the pan on its flat side.
It will stick initially but will be easily lifted from the pan once moisture will be appear on the surface of the meat. Turn the meat over and proceed the same way on the other side. For “medium” cooking, turn the heat to a minimum, add the lid on and leave it to cook for a few minutes.
Cooking at low temperature: Use very little water. Braising should be done on a very gentle heat, with the lid on, to avoid evaporation. Tender vegetables, fish, poultry and meat will retain all of their mineral, salts, trace elements, and vitamins.
Boiling: Add salt when water starts boiling, making sure it dissolves completely.
Oven cooking: All Stainless Steel CRISTEL products with detachable parts are designed for oven cooking up to 550ºF, including glass lids up to a temperature of 400ºF.
Avoid thermal shocks (hot/cold, from the fridge to the oven, for example, etc.).
