Le Creuset's cast-iron braiser pan is clad in smooth enamel in our own exclusive shade of graphite grey, rendering each piece impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Designed with double handles for beautiful balance, the everyday pan lends itself to paella, casseroles and a wide range of family-sized meals. The close-fitting lid creates a blanket of heat for even cooking, lending itself to braising and keeping foods warm. The rim of each pan has a specially designed "all-round" lip for drip-free pouring with the right or left hand, and its non-reactive cooking surface braises to perfection with wet or dry cooking methods. Compatible with all types of heat sources, the lidded pan is topped with a gleaming gold-finished knob.
