Quiet steam, bright kitchen

CRISTEL Universal Steamer in brushed stainless—the calm, stackable way to cook with nothing but heat and water.

At the table

A softer way to cook

Simply universal

Weeknight cooking often asks for gentler heat without another bulky appliance. The CRISTEL Universal Steamer nests onto matching sauté-pans, saucepans, and stewpans, so vegetables, dumplings, and fish meet steam—not chaos. Two thoughtful sizes—8" and 9.5"—mean you reach for what fits, not a workaround. Detachable handles, sold separately, click on only when you need to move from stove to oven or to the table.

Food tastes like itself

Made of 18/10 stainless steel with a brushed finish, the insert is easy to clean and preserves the taste of what you cook. Steam rises evenly, lids stay on the vessel you already love, and dinner keeps its color and clarity. Certified Made in France, it brings a quiet precision to everyday meals.

For the home cook who edits

Someone who prefers one thoughtful insert over a cupboard of single-use gear and cooks on CRISTEL vessels of matching diameters.

How it lives in your kitchen

Place the steamer onto a same-diameter CRISTEL pan with simmering water below, add ingredients, cover with the pan’s lid, and lift using a detachable handle when it’s time to serve.
