From the Maker
CRISTEL
Fesches-le-Châtel, France
CRISTEL traces its lineage to a factory founded in 1826 in Fesches-le-Châtel, France, and reborn in the 1980s when a group of determined former employees reopened its doors. The French maker is best known for its precision stainless steel cookware with removable handles — the "Cook & Serve" concept introduced in the 1990s — designed to move seamlessly from stovetop to table to storage. More than 90% of production is crafted in-house in France, and every stainless steel piece carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
