About Braisers
As one of our most popular pieces of cookware, a braiser is a traditional shape that is uniquely designed with a wide base and shallow sloped sides. A cross between a Dutch Oven and an Iron Handle Skillet, the braiser is a versatile piece to add to your cookware collection. It uses wet and dry heat to braise ingredients, creating the ideal environment to tenderize tough cuts of meat, fish, and hearty vegetables.
Braisers include two convenient helper handles and come equipped with a domed lid to allow for effective re-circulation of heat and moisture. Le Creuset’s Braisers are crafted with premium materials and are built to create a lifetime of meals, whether you are preparing fall-off-the-bone ribs or a one-pot pasta dish.
Equipping your kitchen with a braiser is a great way to prepare flavourful and tender meals. Whether you are an experienced chef, or just looking to get started in the kitchen, our braisers have a place in any kitchen. Elevate your cooking game with Le Creuset’s versatile braisers and experiment with a range of different slow-cooking techniques and traditional braising recipes.
As the name suggests, Braisers are primarily used to braise everything from meat to fish to veggies. Typically, braising involves first searing ingredients at a higher temperature, and then submerging them into aromatic liquid to slow cook for hours. The end result is a browned, crispy exterior, and a tender interior.
This versatile piece of cookware accommodates a variety of additional cooking techniques, ranging from browning all the way to pan-frying due to its generous surface area. Ultimately, a braiser epitomizes versatility in the kitchen and can be used for roasting, simmering, stewing, as well as preparing delicious one-pot recipes. Compatible with all heat sources, including induction, the braiser has established itself as a Le Creuset essential. And when it is not being used to tenderize ingredients on low-and-slow heat, the Braiser makes a stylish piece of serveware, allowing you to serve hot dishes directly at the dinner table.

Before you get braising, it is important to understand the different braisers Le Creuset offers. Each material ultimately lends to certain specific uses, styles of cooking and general preferences. Choosing a braiser based on what each material can help you achieve is the best way to approach the decision.
Le Creuset offers four different braisers to choose from, each with its own unique features.
- ENAMELLED CAST IRON BRAISER: This braiser provides superior heat retention and even heat distribution, ensuring ingredients are exposed to a consistent heat source.
- STAINLESS STEEL BRAISER: Capable of withstanding higher temperatures compared to other materials, the Stainless Steel Braiser is great for achieving deep sears on a variety of ingredients.
- TOUGHENED NONSTICK PRO BRAISER: This nonstick braiser is ideal for tackling recipes with delicate ingredients that stick to the surface such as eggs or pancakes, or for people looking for minimal cleanup and ease of use.
- OBLONG CASSEROLE: This casserole’s oblong shape helps accommodate a variety of cooking techniques, and is perfectly suited for multi-layered casseroles, desserts, longer roasts, or when preparing fish.
Le Creuset’s Braisers are also available in different sizes, accommodating recipes for large groups. The general rule of thumb when selecting a braiser is about 1 L per portion served. For example, for a 4-person serving, it is best to opt for a 4.2 L Braiser. Available in Enamelled Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, and Toughened Nonstick, be sure to consider what you cook most often when deciding on the size and material of your braiser.
Le Creuset Braisers are compatible with all cooktops at medium heat and are even suitable for oven use up to 260ºC / 500ºF. While our braisers are dishwasher safe, it is recommended to wash your braiser by hand, maintaining the integrity of the surface for years to come.
Proper care is essential for ensuring the longevity of your braiser. After each use, allow the braiser to cool down before washing it with warm, soapy water. Be sure to avoid abrasive scrubbers that can damage the surface. For more information on how to use your Braiser, consult our Care & Use section.
