Cristel 1826 Stainless Steel Skillet, 8"

The stainless steel skillet is a great everyday pan for searing, sautéing and browning when you want steady, responsive heat. It is also a smart choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.

Yes. The stainless steel skillet is oven safe up to 550°F, so you can move from stovetop to oven without switching pans. It also makes it easy to bring a finished dish straight to the table.

The three-layer heat-diffusing base helps the skillet heat rapidly and evenly. That more consistent heat supports better browning and more reliable results across the cooking surface.

Preheat the pan, then add your cooking fat and let it warm before adding food. When searing proteins, give them time to brown and release naturally before flipping, then deglaze to capture flavorful browned bits.

Cristel named the 1826 collection to commemorate the world’s first stamped saucepan, made in 1826 at the brand’s factory in Fesches-le-Châtel. The brushed-finish stainless steel design reflects that heritage while fitting right into a modern kitchen.
