Know before you buy
No, this pan does not require seasoning. It features a black satin enamel interior that is designed to develop a natural patina over time, which eventually acts like a nonstick surface.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended to preserve the finish and appearance of the enamel over the long term.
The braiser is oven and broiler safe up to 500°F. This makes it ideal for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
The pan weighs 6.5 pounds. It features large, ergonomic loop handles designed to provide a secure grip, even when you are wearing oven mitts.
This braiser has a wider, shallower profile with curved sides, making it better suited for searing, sautéing, and browning. While a Dutch oven is designed for deep liquids and slow braising, this pan functions more like a hybrid between a skillet and a casserole dish.
