Our Le Creuset braising pan showcases a porcelain enamel coating in inky blue, a stunning shade you'll only find at Crate & Barrel. Impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains and maintaining consistent heat, the large cast iron braiser is designed with an "all-round" lip for drip-free pouring with either hand. The pan also features a close-fitting lid that creates a blanket of heat for even cooking and superb braising. The lidded braising pan is compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and induction stoves to outdoor grills.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.
