1826 Stainless Steel Frying Pans by Cristel — Set of 2

This set brings together the 8-inch and 10-inch frying pans from Cristel®’s 1826® collection. Their brushed 18/10 stainless steel bodies sit on 3-ply thermodiffusing bases of induction stainless steel, aluminum, and 18/10 stainless steel, while the tapered silhouette recalls the factory’s 19th-century stamped-cookware heritage. Both sizes are designed to stack compactly, giving a serious stainless-steel foundation without unnecessary bulk.

“If I were building a kitchen from the beginning, stainless steel frying pans would come before specialty coatings. Eight and ten inches cover an extraordinary amount of daily cooking, and good pans improve with familiarity because you learn their heat rather than replacing them when fashion changes.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
