Know before you buy
Yes, the Tramontina Bestow braiser is fully compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops due to its cast iron construction.
While the enamel is smooth and easy to clean, it is not a traditional chemical nonstick coating. It provides a natural release surface that performs best when you use a small amount of oil or butter during cooking.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the enamel finish and prevent the cast iron from rusting, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water.
This braiser is oven-safe up to 450°F, which is ideal for most braising, roasting, and baking recipes.
The lid features interior ridges designed to collect steam and condensation during the cooking process. This moisture then drips back down onto your food, keeping it tender and flavorful without needing manual basting.
Yes, the knob is made of metal and will become hot when used in the oven or on the stovetop. Always use oven mitts or a kitchen towel when handling the lid during or after cooking.
