This braiser is clad in Le Creuset's signature red-orange enamel inspired by the raw beauty of molten iron being poured from a crucible—or creuset. The durable coating renders the cast iron impervious to acid, odors and stains and requires no seasoning. The tight-fitting glass lid creates a blanket of heat for even cooking, ideal for braising meats or vegetables and keeping casseroles or baked goods warm (and keeping an eye on your recipe's progress). This versatile pan goes effortlessly from stove to oven to table for a summery presentation of short ribs, nachos or nectarine crumble.

Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
