I had a bigger one like this, but it was too big. This one is perfect! It stays on my stove all the time. I use it to boil pasta, sauté shrimp, brown ground beef…. It’s a great pan! No issues at all.

Thing I love most is the ease of cleaning with coated cast iron.

Coming out of the box this 3.5qt braised looks beautiful. And I’ve never see it several times now and it truly is a great pan. It’s losing in the quality stakes there are several obvious bubbles in the enamel on the outside which is disappointing because this was more expensive than the Lodge Braiser of the same size.In terms of cooking it’s great I have no complaints, I’ve seared off several roasts and even toasted bread using it. I noticed it does stain easier than my other cast iron enamel but 2 Cups of Water and 2tablespoons of baking soda boiled for 10 minutes takes care of them.There are four obvious flaws in my enamel coating which is disappointing - All similar in size and shape to what I pictured so I suspect it’s probably something to do with how it’s placed for enamelling, but I do have even cheaper enamelled pots which don’t appear to have those issues so I am disappointed.In terms of value for money - yes I think it’s value for money, assuming the enamel flaws don’t eventually become areas where it flakes off this pan will last me for years.

Needed a new 10 inch oven safe pot. This was perfect.

I noticed this red hot braiser when I bought my Wasatch Backcountry Iron skillet and was completely enticed by the price. I have a couple different la creuset dutch ovens and thought a smaller more shallow version might be a good addition to my collection. It is my new obsession. The lid really does "self baste" as moisture captured in the lid is evenly dispersed back into the base. My first use was caramelizing onions and was happy to find I could cook them low and slow, checking in on them every 15-20 minutes. They did not dry out or stick to the bottom. I made a pot pie next. Perfect. Then a frittata. No stick! I am not always so careful when it comes to dishwashing and my braiser looks brand new after more than two dozen uses. Super happy I splurged and bought this beauty!

The pan arrived with a large piece of enamel broken off the lid. Not a well made pan. Easily damaged. returned the product to Amazon.
