Know before you buy
The light-colored interior makes it much easier to monitor the color of your food while cooking, helping you prevent burning or over-browning during searing and simmering.
No, the enameled cast iron surface is ready to use right out of the box. You do not need to season it like traditional raw cast iron.
While the enamel is durable, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish and longevity of the piece.
The braiser features a wider, shallower shape compared to a deep Dutch oven. This design is specifically optimized for searing meats and creating flavorful pan sauces, as it provides more surface area for evaporation and browning.
While the enamel is very durable, we recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to prevent potential scratching or dulling of the interior surface over time.
