A true bain-marie is the secret behind the silkiest hollandaise, the most stable béarnaise, and the smoothest melted chocolate. The Cristel Strate Bain-Marie Insert brings this classic French technique to your home kitchen with the precision and reliability of professional-grade stainless steel.
Designed to sit perfectly inside Cristel saucepans and sauté pans of the same diameter, the insert remains stable during use — no wobbling, no slipping. The gentle, indirect heat of the water bath protects your most delicate preparations from scorching or splitting, giving you the control that direct heat simply can’t offer.
Made from brushed 18/10 stainless steel, it preserves the natural flavor of your food and cleans up effortlessly after use.
- Available in 2 sizes: 1 qt (5.5" diameter) and 3 qt (8" diameter)
- Fits Cristel Strate saucepans and sauté pans of the same diameter
- 18/10 stainless steel, brushed finish — flavor-neutral and easy to clean
- Ideal for hollandaise, béarnaise, sabayon, melted chocolate, and gentle reheating
- Detachable handle compatible (sold separately)
- Certified Made in France — BV Cert. 6019453
Detachable handles are designed for maneuvering cookware during cooking. For safety, remove before prolonged stovetop use.
