Conveniently strain water into the same vessel you boil pasta, potatoes and more in with these single-ply pasta inserts designed to be compatible with the detachable, interchangeable handles of the Strate collection (sold separately). Pasta inserts are available in three sizes: 5-qt. insert is compatible with the Cristel Strate 5.5-qt. stock pot, 7-qt. insert is compatible with the Cristel Strate 7.5-qt. stock pot, and the 10-qt. insert in compatible with the Cristel Strate 10-qt. stock pot.

Completely made in France, the Strate collection from Cristel is a breakthrough in convenience and versatility, boasting innovative compact design features such as detachable, interchangeable handles, flat lids (sold, separately) and nesting capabilities.

The detachable, interchangeable handles allow you to customize each sleek, stainless steel vessel, and make for space-saving efficiency in storage and the dishwasher. These handles securely fasten to vessels thanks to a patented locking mechanism, and will not detach until you unlock them. The two side handles can be attached to hot vessels in the oven for safe transport without the need for potholders or oven mitts. Interchangeable handles easily turn a cooking pan into a serving vessel.

An entire Cristel collection takes up about a quarter of the space as other similarly sized collections, making it ideal for smaller living spaces, boat galleys, motorhomes, or anyone who enjoys convenience and quality.

Cristel Strate is optimized for induction cooking, but works wonderfully on any heat source. A base layer of aluminum sandwiched between interior and exterior layers of solid, brushed 18/10 stainless steel provides exceptional thermal efficiency, even heat and no hot spots. Wide-edge rims allow for precise pouring and help prevent messes.

NOTICE: These inserts are sold without handles or lids. Inserts are meant to be combined with Cristel Strate interchangeable, detachable handles (sold separately).
