Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This 5-1/2-quart braiser is large enough to cook up a batch of chicken chili or sherried salmon fillets to feed four to six hungry adults. Made of durable hard-anodized aluminum, the pan has a hard-anodized aluminum core that distributes heat evenly without hot spots. Three coats of DuPont nonstick coating line the braiser’s interior. Circulon’s patented Hi-Low grooves protect the nonstick coating from wear by exposing only a small portion of the nonstick surface to cooking. The result is longer lasting performance and easy cleaning.
The 18/10 stainless steel lid has a domed lid, which is ideal for locking in moisture during braising to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. Handles are made of stay-cool heat-resistant plastic and are oven-safe to 350 degrees F. This cookware is covered by a lifetime limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
Product Description
The idea behind the braiser is to brown foods on the stovetop just as you would in a skillet, and then to finish cooking with the lid on for moister heat. This non-stick pan is terrific for cooking meats, poultry, potatoes, and other vegetables. You can use it on top of the stove or in the oven, with or without the cover.

Better than a wok!,
By
This review is from: Meyer Circulon Braiser with Lid 5 1/2 Qt.
This is one of my most-used, best-loved pans. I do a lot of stir-fry cooking, braising, large pasta dishes, etc. This is my first and only choice for such tasks. The generous 5.5 quart capacity with a large, flat bottom for browning and high, rounded sides make this a better choice than a wok. I had Circulon's beautiful covered wok for several years and it got a lot of use. It was in virtually new condition even after all that cooking, but this brasier has replaced it in my kitchen. If you have limited storage space for large pans, as I do, this brasier will be far more useful and take up just a wee bit less space than that huge wok.The hard anodized aluminum exterior conducts heat evenly and it heats up quickly. The Circulon hi-low nonstick interior is superior to any other nonstick product I've tried. It is rugged and cleans up easily and quickly. Hand-washing is recommended. Do not put this pan in the dish washer. I take one extra step when hand-washing my Circulon pans. I use a dish scrubbing brush to give that grooved surface a quick, light scrub just to be extra sure no food deposits can build up. It couldn't be easier. All of my Circulon cookware has seen years of service and looks and cooks like brand new. And the heavy, high-domed stainless steel lid is as beautiful as it is functional. It forms a perfect seal with the edge of the pan to lock in all those great cooking juices. There is enough space in this pan to accommodate a large roast or a whole chicken. You can toss enough pasta and sauce in it for a large family. I loved to do braised meats, browning them on the stove top then putting the pan in the oven to finish the cooking. The comfortable handles are oven safe up to 350 degrees. They also make handling this large pan super easy and comfortable (unlike pans with small metal handles). If you are debating about getting a wok or just considering this brasier pan for its own merits, I give it the highest possible recommendation. You'll love it!

Five Star General,
By Espiel "Espiel" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meyer Circulon Braiser with Lid 5 1/2 Qt.
I cook every day,and have awarded Five Stars to this wonderful pan for "General Use".With its high sides,it is perfect for: stir fries,sautees,sauces,smashing big fry-ups and simmering soups and stews. It will beautifully brown and braise chops ,chicken or chuck roasts,and I've even made chili in it. Anyway,you get the idea.Add easy clean-up,as well as attractive design(that gleaming lid reminds me of the hubcaps on my old V W Beetle),and you've got a Patton of a Pot! On the stove top ,or in a moderate oven,this "General" is prepared to conquer your collection! Lets see...I think I can retire about three other pans. Buy this...you won't be sorry!
