The color is very pretty and the visual imperfection is neglect-able. There were a couple pinholes on the pot and lid but doesn’t seem to affect functionality. The lid is a lot heavier than I thought so it mimics the sealant affect the iron lid provides. I like it you can see how the food is cooking without having to lift the lid constantly to check. The only downside is the braiser is a lot bigger than I anticipated, so if your stovetop is not wide enough it won’t heat up evenly. Other than that this is a great purchase.
Having 20 pieces of Staub kind of says it all, nothing else performs like it, not All Clad or Le Creuset. This is a another Staub gift for my nephew and aspiring chef.
Overall the product is nice but when I received it the knob was discolored and not the right color (gold instead of silver). I reached out a few weeks ago to get this resolved and have yet to hear back. Given the amount of money that was spent on this I would've expected better quality. I understand these are not normal circumstances but it's been over two weeks and I've heard nothing back. Outside of this issue I like the Braiser. It works well and is good quality. I just wish it was okay to use it the dishwasher on a frequent basis.

We are a family of four and I was in the market for a versatile everyday pan. This pan goes beyond expectations! Perfect to roast chicken and vegetables, meats, stews, and casseroles. Also a great Paella pan, which I make weekly. The cast iron interior makes for a real crispy bottom, which we all fight over. This pan can be used on my induction cook top, as well as inside the oven. Have also used this as a deep fryer which works out great because I don't have room for tons of different pans and appliances. in the kitchen. Works as a beautiful serving piece, which not only saves more space, but also makes less clean up. This pan checks all the boxes.
This is absolutely my favorite pan! It works for almost everything and it also happens to beautiful, so I just keep it on my stovetop. I also often use it in the oven as it can withstand the heat.
This is hands down my favorite go to roaster/sauté pan, etc; It does everything. I leave it in my oven top as I use it daily. In the oven or on the stove, this product works beautifully.
