Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser, 2.25 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser, 2.25 Qt. is a full braiser built at a smaller scale, with an enameled cast iron lid and a stainless steel knob, sized for one to three people.

Like its larger siblings, it pairs a wide, shallow base with low sides, so you can sear in a single layer and then braise with the lid on. The cast iron lid holds heat and circulates steam back over the food, and the stainless steel knob means there is no temperature limit on the lid in the oven. At roughly 10.25 inches across, it handles a pair of chicken breasts, a small frittata, a gratin for two, or a skillet dessert.

Available colors: Marseille, Cerise, Flame, Oyster, Artichaut and White. Choose your color from the options on this page; every color shares the same size, construction, and performance.

It is the right braiser for couples and small kitchens. If you would rather watch the food as it cooks, the same size is also available with a glass lid.

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.

Hand-selected by our Greenville team for cooks building a kitchen that works as hard as they do. Available for local pickup at our Buncombe Street shop.
