I use this pan at least 3 or 4 times a week, as we are eating in more due to the quarantine restrictions. The heat in the pan is distributed evenly and does such a great job browning. I make our entire meal in the Braiser and serve the meal in it as well. Beautiful and functional cookware.
I’ve lived my life of 56 years..over 37 years of them cooking a lot and I’ve used all sorts of cooking implements.
This has to be my favorite of all time! It cooks evenly, has ample room to make a myriad of dishes, and best of all—-it cleans up like a charm! It isn’t too crazy heavy and I adore the see through lid...GENUIS! It will be with me forever! It’s also capable of being a heirloom piece, it’s made that well!!
This braiser is so versatile. It can be used to make soup, steam, deep fry, pan fry, saute, braise or bake. I purchased it to use to make cioppino at Christmas time, it has the perfect depth for cooking the fish stew and I can get a whole crab in it. The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly, evenly and retains heat for hours, perfect for a holiday meal. The gorgeous grenadine color says Merry Christmas all over it.
This braiser has a black matte finish on the interior that allows for better browning, braising, and roasting. The heat capability is amazing, and it will stay hot for hours. Safe for use on all types of heat sources, including gas, electric, and induction, and oven safe up to 500F including the lid. Chip resistant and dishwasher safe.
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 glass lid locks in moisture and allows easy monitoring of cooking. Domed lid accommodates large pieces of meat and enables steam to circulate. Colorful enamel finish will not chip, crack, or rust.
This pan does it all, you can sear meat, simmer a sauce, make a stew, roast vegetables, fry chicken, boil potatoes, bake a dessert, and everything in between! The black matte finish helps to create a perfect cooking surface searing anything beautifully. Pan heats up quickly and evenly and with stand temperatures up to 500F, including the lid. Love that you can monitor your cooking process through the glass lid without disrupting the meal.
The glass lid really lets you see what’s going on inside the pan during the entire cooking process. It’s really helpful to be able to know how the food looks while it’s cooking. The lid is also very sturdy and oven safe at high temperatures. I also really like the heritage style handles that come on this pan.
