CRISTEL USA Steamer Insert in stainless steel with brushed finish

Quiet steam, clear intent

A brushed stainless circle that perches on your favorite pan, sending up gentle heat and weeknight calm.

At the stove

The pause between simmer and serve

Detachable grace

Bulky steamers hog space and rarely fit the cookware you actually use. The CRISTEL Steamer Insert nests into matching vessels of the same diameter, so dinner moves without fuss. Brushed stainless wipes clean after cooking, and the detachable handle (sold separately) connects only when you need it.

Food, unmasked

Steaming keeps the flavor you went to the market for. With the Strate steamer’s 18/10 stainless build and calm, open form, vegetables, dumplings, and fish emerge tasting like themselves. Two sizes—1 qt (5.5 in) and 6.5 qt (10 in)—meet small suppers and generous tables alike.

For the kitchen you live in

Home cooks who value compact tools that fit CRISTEL sauté-pans, saucepans, and stewpans of matching diameter.

How it’s used

Nest the Steamer Insert into a same-diameter CRISTEL vessel with a little simmering water below, attach the detachable handle only to lift or move, then remove it while cooking.
