Le Creuset’s Oyster 4.7 Liter Enamelled Cast Iron Braiser is the ideal piece of cookware to deliver deliciously tender dishes. This versatile piece of cookware can be used for braising, which consists of first searing meat and vegetables at a higher temperature, before slow cooking them in aromatic liquid. The Braiser’s shallow based and domed lid make it perfect for this type of cooking, locking in heat and moisture inside the pot.

The Braiser is built to last thanks to a chip-resistant enamel interior and exterior. Its wide base offers ingredients a consistent heat source, providing superior heat retention to slow cooking food evenly.

The Braiser comes in two different sizes, 3.5 L (2-3 servings), and 4.7 L (3-4 servings), ensuring you can prepare a variety of braised recipes.

FAQ's:

What's the difference between the Braiser and the Dutch Oven?

Although they do offer some of the same features in terms of materials, the key differences are in the height of the walls and the size of the base. The braiser offers more room for searing ingredients and shorter walls for holding less liquid needed to braise.

Can I use this with a glass lid?

Yes, Le Creuset tempered glass lids are safe to be used on Cast Iron products and are oven safe up to 260º C / 500º F .

Why is the lid domed?

The lid is domed to promote the circulation of hot air to redistribute moisture.
