Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Rugged yet beautiful, this large 9-quart oval-shaped braiser features durable cast-iron construction for fast, even heating, along with a porcelain-enamel finish inside and out, which means no seasoning required and quick cleanup. The handy vessel, which measures approximately 11 by 15 by 4 inches, works especially well for roasting or braising whole chickens, making roasts, cooking hearty stews, and more. The heavy unit provides a secure-fitting lid, complete with self-basting spikes on the underside to ensure continuous, natural basting. Even more, the lid's cast-stainless knob makes it simple to lift, while two loop side handles on the braiser allow for effortless transport from the stovetop to the table. The versatile cookware can be used on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, as well as in the oven up to 500 degrees F. For best results, wash the braiser and the lid by hand with mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely between uses.

This product performs as well as if not better than our Le Creuset cooking ware! We bought this in a store on sale for $99 because we had a gift card. We have not been disappointed since! It does everything from deep fry to braise!

Highly recommended! I intend on getting the reminder of the set as time goes on!

This was a Gold Box deal so I jumped on it and my wife loves it. It is sturdy although it's a little heavy for someone that has limited strength. Since when has cast iron been light so I guess that was to be expected.
