The Le Creuset enameled cast iron Braiser is uniquely designed to provide steady, even heat to transform tough cuts of meat and hearty vegetables into tender, flavorful dishes. The wide base allows ingredients to be placed in a single layer for searing without crowding; once liquid is added, the domed lid circulates steam to lock in moisture and flavor. The versatile shape of the braiser also makes it perfect for shallow frying, steaming, stews, casseroles and serving at the table. Individually crafted by French artisans from the finest quality materials since 1925, Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware is beloved for its perfected design and exceptional heat retention that produces superior results from stove to oven to table. Designed for generations of durability, the easy-to-clean porcelain enamel requires no seasoning, minimizes sticking and is dishwasher-safe.

The 5 stars are just for the product. It's Le Creuset after all! We were disappointed that it arrived not as originally packed and it was clearly a previously returned product. Although there was nothing wrong with it, receiving someone else's reject took the edge off purchasing this top-of-the-line product at a premium price.

This is my 8th Le Creuset pan over the past 20 years. They are the best, non toxic cookware I have seen. The white enamel does not chip, even after 20 years.The 2.2 quarts braiser is perfect for 2-4 people. I had a bigger one but got rid of it due to its heavy weight. This one is about 8 lbs with lid and pan combined. The lid is heavier than the pan. However, I have another glass lid that fits perfectly on this pan if I need to see the inside.It is very versatile and the size is perfect for many dishes. I can use it to make apple pies, chicken pot pie, bread, braised beef, stir fried veggies, omelette, and paella.I like buying smaller size pots and pans from Le Creuset. The big ones are too heavy to wash unless I want to do weight lighting each time I use them.They are so pretty that you can use them to serve directly on the table or put them on a shelf for decoration instead of storage. I have many color: red, white, orange, pink, yellow, and blue. They all look pretty!

Beautiful, heirloom pan, the 3.5 quart is the perfect size for most applications. Not so heavy it can't be stored in a cabinet or used for serving. Holds heat perfectly as one would expect from Le Creuset. A perfect wedding gift for a couple starting out- it will last a lifetime if cared for properly.

Use it all the time, just about every day, once or twice, and eat the stew/chow straight out of the pot with a wooden spoon. Happy camper

Ich bin absolut begeistert von meinem Le Creuset Topf! Dieser Topf ist definitiv jeden Cent wert. Die Qualität ist einfach unschlagbar. Schon beim Auspacken merkt man, dass es sich um ein Premiumprodukt handelt. Der gusseiserne Topf ist massiv und perfekt verarbeitet. Die Emaillebeschichtung ist makellos und verleiht dem Topf nicht nur eine elegante Optik, sondern macht ihn auch äußerst pflegeleicht.Kochergebnis: Ich habe bereits verschiedenste Gerichte darin zubereitet – von Schmorgerichten bis hin zu Suppen und Eintöpfen. Jedes Mal war das Ergebnis perfekt! Dank der gleichmäßigen Hitzeverteilung und -speicherung gelingt das Anbraten von Fleisch und Gemüse hervorragend, und langes Schmoren wird zum Kinderspiel. Auch bei niedriger Hitze bleibt alles wunderbar warm, ohne anzubrennen.Handhabung: Trotz seines Gewichts liegt der Topf gut in der Hand, die Griffe sind stabil und bieten einen sicheren Halt. Der Deckel schließt sehr gut, sodass kein unnötiger Dampf entweicht und die Speisen saftig bleiben. Zudem ist der Topf ofenfest, was für Gerichte, die eine längere Garzeit benötigen, sehr praktisch ist.Pflegeleicht: Die Reinigung ist überraschend einfach! Die Emaille-Oberfläche ist so glatt, dass Essensreste kaum anhaften, und der Topf lässt sich mühelos abspülen oder auch in die Spülmaschine geben, ohne dass man sich um Kratzer oder Abnutzung sorgen muss.Fazit: Der Le Creuset Topf ist eine echte Investition, die sich für jeden lohnt, der gerne kocht. Die Qualität, die Langlebigkeit und die Kochleistung sind unübertroffen. Ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere Jahre mit diesem Topf in meiner Küche. Absolut empfehlenswert – 5 Sterne!

I want to demystify this product a little bit. I got the 3.5 court and let me just say that you can feed a family of four with it without any issues. I am glad I got the one that I did, as I had wondered if the larger model would be better for us...it is not. This is perfect. It is 12 inches wide. Withoug the lid, the bottom is 2 inches deep. If you add the lid the it holds 3.5 inches.Heat distribution is absolutely perfect. There are no hot spots or cold spots. I cook on a Thermadore range, that is gas and I have had no issues at all. Heat retention of the cast iron is a match for any of the Griswold stuff that I have.OK...now let's talk looks. I got the red, and IT LOOKS GREAT! It looks so good that it is going to live on my stove all the time.In short, this is flawless. If you need one buy this one. Sure, it is a lot of money, but you get what you pay for here.

This is a wonderful little brazier. The thick, cream colored, enamel interior lets me see how the cooking is progressing. And I can move the brazier from stovetop to oven without worry. When I'm brazing just for 2 and don't want to drag out big, heavy pots/pans, the little brazier is ideal. Still I manage to fit 3 chicken breasts OR 4 thighs OR 6 drumsticks (smallish chicken). Always laugh when people say the pan is heavy; well, of course, it's caste iron. Bought the little 2.25 qt. brazier because it was small and therefore lighter than most caste iron braziers. Generally use fully clad stainless steel pots/pans because they are extremely versatile, lighter weight, and non-toxic. Sometimes, however, a slow braise is necessary and caste iron fills the bill. The large handles make gripping the brazier with large silicone oven mitts and/or doubled towels easy. Clean up is just as easy as with my stainless steel pans--hot soapy water and scrubby sponge or dish brush. Haven't had any burnt food issues or sticking. However, I have many years experience cooking with caste iron, so I knew what to expect. The little brazier is wonderful. Though I've only had it for a month if it's like my other LC caste iron pots and roasters, I expect to pass it down to the next generation.

This expensive pot replaces my old non-stick 5-quart aluminum frying pan. Everything I did in that old rag (and more) can be done in this cast iron beauty! Expensive? Yes. However, you usually get what you pay for. I do not, for a minute, regret buying this braiser. It is many times better than my old frying pan. It cooks evenly. It’s 5 quart capacity is versatile: You can cook for a few or for many. You can fry, braise, stew, brown, sear, roast, bake, cook rice, and make soup in it. And, it keeps food hot longer with its heavy construction and lid.Heavy? Yes. But not unmanageable for a woman with average strength. Due to its size, storage is an issue for me. I want it readily available but not in the way. The top of the refrigerator is where I keep it, while my 5 quart Dutch oven (yes, also Le Creuset) lives on my stove. It works.Clean-up is easy—sometimes a little soak is needed, but it always comes out clean. Another plus is that it doesn’t require any additional care—no seasoning or immediate drying. It is dishwasher-safe, although I always hand-wash cooking pots. Why hand wash? Two reasons: 1. Big items take up too much needed space in the dishwasher and can interfere with the water spray needed for thorough cleaning. 2. I don’t like what the dishwasher detergent can do to some surfaces. It can cause damage to aluminum and other materials. So, i just don’t want to take a chance with my Le Creuset cookware.Beauty. As with all of the Le Creuset line of cookware, this pot can easily go from the kitchen to the table, or even to the patio or fire pit area. As previously mentioned, it is sturdy and heavy; food will stay hot longer under its hefty lid. It is perfect for taking hot food to a dinner party or potluck meal.This braiser is a good investment for my family. I can honestly recommend it highly to anyone in the market for such a pot.
