3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Braiser

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my staub cookware and this braiser is my favorite piece. I make literally everything in this piece. The color cherry is beautiful and the quality is amazing.

This braiser also doubles as a saute pan. Works great on the stove top, with or without the lid. Perfect to shallow frying and saute, plenty of room for both. Love the dark interior, helps achieve perfect color on food, and also resists staining from tomato based recipes. Oven safe and makes amazing frittatas, giant dutch baby pancakes, and crustless quiche. Also great for braising brisket, short ribs, and roasting chicken, turkey and beef. Oven to table, looks beautiful and keeps everything nice and hot.

Just sits there and braises/cooks! Tough as nails...enameled inside and out for ease of cleaning and the most consistency of heat of any cast iron braiser.

I like the shape of the braiser and it is one of my go-to pans. I use it for all my long slow braises with the lid and without the lid it is great for large batches fried chicken and no sticking to the pan! Easy clean up due to the dark enameled interior which is always a plus.

Our family loves one pot dishes. We just made oso buco in this pan and it turned out fantastic. The heat capability of the pan is amazing - heats up quickly and evenly, also stays hot for hours. It has self-basting spikes on the interior of the lid which collect and return all moisture back into dish - nothing dries out and the food stays moist. Occasionally I use this braiser as a second fry pan. The black matte finish allows for a perfect sear.

This braiser is great for one-pot meals of every sort! Fish and rice or cous-cous are perfect and add veggies for your meal on the go. Meats cook perfectly - including lamb, chicken, hen and much more! Cook slowly and evenly, coming out moist due to the dots inside the lid so moisture rotates in the pan.

Domed shaped top is good size to make a large one pot meal. Also like the spikes inside that keeps all the flavor in the pot. Dishwasher Safe is a real plus, but honestly cleans up easily with hand washing.

So easy to start by browning onions and garlic then keep adding those recipe ingredients all in the same pan. Plenty of room and a lid that fits so tightly to keep moisture inside. I've also made amazing mac and cheese for a pot luck and was so proud to have this beautiful piece on the buffet.

This fiery cherry braiser is certain to not only look good in the kitchen, but offer optimal results with your food. The cast iron is the perfect heating element for your cooking needs with an enameled interior that will expertly brown and sear whatever you are cooking. The double handles make it easy to transfer from stove to oven to table and you can be assured that the black interior will easily release your food, never stain and is incredibly easy to clean.

These braiser cast iron is shallow but wide, so easy to stir, and organized every ingredients in one beautiful presentation. It is great for braising, roasting, frying, stir fry, baking breads and mostly everything. If you are cooking stew or baked beans, it has enough space for anything in your recipe'. The innovative lid features tiny spikes on the interior that continually release condensed liquid back onto the food, yielding moist, flavorful results. Staub cast iron works on all stove top sources including gas, electric, glass, ceramic, induction, and halogen. Staub cast iron are Made in France. Heavy weight, tight-fitting lid retains moisture, spikes on the lid create a rain-forest effect evenly returning juices back onto food and it cooked like a pressure cooker. Oven safe up to 900F.

Love it! I use it ALL THE TIME! I purchased it to replace my Emeril enameled cast iron braising pan. I've been very impressed with the customer service and products from Zwilling.
