Know before you buy
Yes, the HT150 alloy cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass surfaces.
No, the porcelain enamel interior acts as a non-stick surface and does not require seasoning. It is ready to use right out of the box.
Yes, the braiser and its lid are oven-safe at temperatures up to 450°F, making it suitable for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
While the enamel is durable, harsh dishwasher detergents and high-heat cycles can dull the finish and potentially cause chipping over time. Hand-washing with mild soap and a soft sponge will keep the pan looking new for much longer.
Those ridges are designed for self-basting. They collect steam during the cooking process and condense it back into liquid, which drips onto your food to keep it moist and flavorful.
The handles are cast directly into the body of the pan, which provides a sturdy, secure grip. Because they are made of cast iron, they will get hot, so you should always use thick oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pan.
