This braiser is clad in durable, creamy enamel that renders the cast iron impervious to acid, odors and stains—and requires no seasoning. Topped with a gleaming gold-finished knob, 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 an elegant presentation of short ribs, potato gratin or apple crumble.
