I love this braiser and use it 3-4 times a week. Very versatile and well worth the investment. I cook lots of vegetables and meats and get them nice and crispy and perfectly cooked once I learned to not over fill the braiser. It can hold quite a bit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of my favorite pieces of cookware evaaahh
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: in the kitchen
I own a lot of cookware. A lot. From lots of other Staub pieces (also great) to French stainless steel and tinned copper pieces. This has really earned its keep - so much so that it just sits on the stovetop now instead of going back into the cabinet. Like others have mentioned, it heats evenly and is incredibly versatile - wide enough to sear meat without crowding, enough surface area for quick reductions, great for rice dishes, sautes, stews, shellfish, sauces, it's actually my go to pan for boiling spaghetti noodles (and uses less water) or cooking/finishing pasta in sauce. I haven't used it as a roaster yet but it would also do a fantastic job roasting a good sized bird because of the shape and depth. It really has a surprisingly generous size and width despite being only listed as 3.5 qts. The rounded sides are perfect for even heating and working with a spoon/spatula etc. and I do prefer them over a straight sided saute pan. If you're having a hard time deciding on this one, you should get it. This one piece can do the job of numerous others, cleans up well, and looks good doing it.

A Modern Classic
on April 27, 2020
Posted by: Lars Reich
Looks like a turn of the century classic but has all of Staub's modern characteristics. Enameled inside and out for less stick and more easy cleanup. Small spikes beneath lid continue to circulate moisture when closed.

This amazing black matte braiser is must in any kitchen. Not only will it fit right in with any decor, it will also cook and brown your food to perfection. The black matte exterior matches the nonstick enameled interior that will evenly distribute and retain heat as expected from cast iron. Plus, it's super easy to clean!

These braiser cast iron is shallow but wide, so easy to stir, and organized every ingredients in one beautiful presentation. It is great for braising, roasting, frying, stir fry, baking breads and mostly everything. If you are cooking stew or baked beans, it has enough space for anything in your recipe'. The innovative lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. Staub cast iron works on all stove top sources including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen. Staub cast iron are Made in France. Heavy weight, tight-fitting lid retains moisture, spikes on the lid create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food and it cooked like a pressure cooker. Oven safe up to 900F.

Traditional look in an enamelled cast iron!
on April 13, 2020
Posted by: Alamedagirl
The Beautiful enamelled black matte braiser my everything pan..I braise, saute, fry and sear in it. I love the shape and the slightly upswung handles make it so easy to maneuver. The lid is nice and heavy when I want to braise it fits tightly and the sides are a perfect depth. The black matte color, looks loke traditional cast iron but a million times better.

This braiser does a lot more than braise. You can pan fry, deep fry, steam and sauté in this pan. The textured black matte enamel interior ensures exceptional browning / searing; cast iron has incredible heat retention and distribution. Tight-fitting lid locks in moisture so you don't have to keep adding liquid to the pan diluting your flavor base. Enamel finish will not chip, crack, or rust.
