Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser with Glass Lid, 2.25 Qt.

The Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser with Glass Lid, 2.25 Qt. is the small-household braiser: a wide, shallow enameled cast iron base for searing in a single layer, topped with a tempered glass lid so you can keep an eye on a simmer without letting the steam out.

A braiser sits between a skillet and a Dutch oven. The wide base gives meat and vegetables room to brown without crowding, and the low sides make it easy to turn food and reduce a sauce. Once liquid goes in, the lid traps moisture so tougher cuts turn tender. At 2.25 quarts it handles chicken thighs for two, a shakshuka, a small gratin, or a skillet cobbler, and it is light enough to move from stove to oven to table without a second set of hands.

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

It is the right size for one to three people. If you regularly cook for four or more, the 3.5 Qt. Signature Braiser gives you roughly 50 percent 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.
