Know before you buy
No, this braiser is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the enamel coating, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly after each use.
The manufacturer specifies compatibility with gas and electric stovetops. It is best to check your induction cooktop's manual or test the base with a magnet, as the cast iron core may be compatible, but it is not officially rated for induction use.
No, the porcelain enamel interior does not require seasoning. You can start cooking with it immediately, and the smooth surface is designed to be naturally easier to clean than raw cast iron.
This braiser is oven-safe up to 450°F. Be sure to use oven mitts when handling, as the cast iron construction will retain significant heat.
While the porcelain enamel surface is smooth and resistant to sticking, it is not a traditional nonstick coating. We recommend using a small amount of oil or butter when cooking to ensure the best food release.
