Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser, 3.5 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser, 3.5 Qt. is the pan many cooks reach for more than their Dutch oven. Its wide, shallow base browns meat and vegetables in a single layer, and the domed lid turns that same pan into a braiser once liquid goes in.

An 11.8-inch cooking surface gives you room to sear four chicken thighs or a pan of short ribs without crowding, so food browns instead of steaming. Low sides make it easy to flip and baste and help a pan sauce reduce quickly. With the lid on, the dome circulates steam back over the food for tender, saucy results. It also works as a casserole, a paella pan, or a serving dish at the table.

Available colors: Marseille, Sea Salt, White, Caribbean, Flame, Bleu Riviera, Licorice, Artichaut, Oyster, Cerise, Flamme Dorée, Nectar and Nuit. Choose your color from the options on this page; every color shares the same size, construction, and performance.

This is the most versatile braiser size for a household of two to four. If you often cook for six or more, the 5 Qt. Signature Braiser adds more surface area.

Because the enamel is fused to the cast iron, it needs no seasoning and will not react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or citrus. Le Creuset cast iron is also the lightest per quart in the industry, which you will notice every time you lift a full pot.
