Know before you buy
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
No, the porcelain enamel coating creates a non-reactive surface that does not require seasoning. It is ready to use right out of the box.
This braiser is oven-safe up to 500°F. Always use oven mitts when handling, as the cast iron handles will become very hot during use.
While the enamel is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and prevent potential chipping over time.
This size is ideal for cooking meals for 3 to 4 people. It is perfectly suited for braising short ribs, simmering stews, or baking small batches of crusty bread.
We recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Metal tools can scratch or dull the porcelain enamel surface over time.
