Why choose non-stick cookware from Cristel?

Cooking the most delicate foods such as eggs, nuts, and fish is often easier using non-stick cookware.

Therefore, CRISTEL also provides cookware with PTFE non-stick coating that is free of PFOA and PFOS.

Selection of Raw Materials

What is PFAS?

Within the PFAS family, there are both inert (chemically inactive) and toxic types. The material used in our non-stick coatings, PTFE, falls into this inert group. This means it poses no risk to human health.

High resistance to water, impact, and heat makes this material highly stable. PFAS are considered "eternal" materials because they do not react with the environment and do not biodegrade naturally.

This inert property also applies in the human body — therefore, PTFE, even if accidentally ingested, has no impact on health.

We also designed our production process with a closed water circulation system, so that no waste is discharged into the environment from our industrial process.

The coating products we use do not contain PFAS which are harmful to human health.

Our non-stick coatings are chosen for their high performance and superior stability.

Routine inspections are carried out by independent laboratories approved by health authorities to ensure its suitability for food use.
This coating is applied to our stainless steel products at our factory located in Fesches-le-Châtel, in the Doubs region of France.

There is no such thing as a perfect non-stick coating.

Over the years, our R&D team has been working to develop a more durable non-stick coating than what we currently have.

Ceramic-based coatings are available on the market today, and since 2009, CRISTEL has offered this solution through its Céram'in coating. However, because this type of coating is very brittle, its durability is much lower than the coatings we use today (it cannot withstand high temperatures or mechanical impact).

PTFE-coated pans have a lifespan two to three times longer than ceramic pans. Therefore, we believe that using ceramic coatings doesn't make environmental sense. Furthermore, because these coatings are complex compounds and lack the long-term data or studies that "traditional" coatings offer, there's currently no guarantee that they're completely safe. CRISTEL stainless steel remains the best alternative for healthy, long-lasting cooking.

What is the best way to cook with Cristel stainless steel cookware?

Except for fish, stainless steel cookware is actually non-stick if used properly. When heated to the appropriate temperature for cooking, your stainless steel cookware will bake and brown all foods perfectly and ensure every dish tastes delicious.
