ATLANTA, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cristel, the number one selling premium cookware line in France, is proud to make its national stateside debut with Casteline Tech, a new cookware collection exclusively available at select Bloomingdale's and bloomingdales.com. Constructed with superior craftsmanship in the Franche-Comte region of France, each piece is thoughtfully designed with a detachable handle that allows for compact storage and moves elegantly from the stovetop to the table for serving or to the refrigerator for storage.

Engineered in France by leading concept designer Paul Dodane, the pieces in the Casteline Tech line are 5-ply stainless steel and feature flat lids that highlight the aesthetics and functionality of the products. The unique flat lids allow for easy stackability that serve to provide storage solutions to culinary enthusiasts or for anyone looking to maximize space in their kitchen. Whereas typically only six to seven conventional cookware pieces can fit in an average kitchen drawer, the Casteline Tech's stackability allows for twenty one pieces dramatically maximizing the use of space.

"Most home cooks struggle with space in their kitchen but don't want to compromise quality, appearance or craftsmanship. With Casteline Tech, we wanted to create a cookware collection that is not only elegant but offers superior quality and space-saving convenience," said Alex Campbell, General Manager of Cristel USA. "We have been listening to the culinary community including both at-home and professional chefs and are thrilled to launch Casteline Tech to the US culinary world at the national retail level."

The new line, along with all Cristel products, has been awarded the "Origine FRANCE Garantie" seal, granted only to companies that are accredited with one hundred percent French-made products in all aspects of materials, production and design. Manufactured often by second or third generation artisans, Casteline Tech's sleek modern designs also offer conveniences such as a lifetime warranty and are dishwasher-safe.

Casteline Tech is available exclusively at select Bloomingdale's and bloomingdales.com both in individual cookware pieces, including a 2-quart saucepan with lid, a 4-quart saute pan with lid and a 10-quart stock pot with lid, starting at $119.99 and in eight and twelve piece sets for $599.99 and $999.99 respectively.
