All Cristel cooking systems are known for their space-saving features as well as exceptional cooking performance. The Strate collection features a brushed 18/10 stainless steel construction and Cristel's innovative detachable handle system, which allows cookware to be nested for compact storage. Fast heat up time and even heat distribution are hallmarks of the Cristel cooking systems. The stewpans bridge the gap between saucepans and stockpots and are sold with flat glass lids. The stewpan is perfect for chili, stews and braising smaller amounts of beef or pork. Other uses include soups, cooking vegetables or steaming items in the 9.5" universal steamer
