How we keep our prices fair
How we keep our prices fair
Cookware sold through traditional retail channels can pass through several layers before reaching the customer, including distributors, wholesalers and retailers. Each layer adds its own costs and margin.
We keep our supply chain simpler. We work directly with experienced cast iron manufacturers and sell directly to our customers, without traditional wholesale and retail markups.
By keeping those layers to a minimum, we can offer well-made cast iron cookware without traditional retail mark-ups.

From Stovetop to Oven to Table
Customers love this enameled cast iron braiser for its even heating, easy cleanup, and beautiful color options. "It heats evenly, holds the heat well" and is praised as excellent value compared to premium brands. The 2.25-qt size is perfect for 1-2 people. Some customers report sticking issues and enamel chipping, though most find it non-stick with proper use and low heat.
- It heats evenly, holds the heat well, and has quickly become one of my favorite pieces
- Heats evenly, cleans up easily and the color options are gorgeous
- Used it everyday since it arrived. No stick. I minute to swish it clean.
I can't believe how versatile this Dutch Oven is. This size is perfect for my fritattas and keto shepherds pie!
This is so cute. N just my size for a single person !! 1 pot meals. Yeahhhhh
This is a smaller size covered enameled cast iron braiser pan, 2.25-qt capacity but still a good size. Many similar braiser pans are 3.8-qt or 3.3-qt. This pan is large enough for many one-pan recipes and cooking meats, but not large enough for some recipes such as large chili recipes. This pan has some features that the very expensive brands have and I like it so far.The base is flat and fits my largest cooktop eyes well, almost covering them. I also have the Amazon Basics 3.3-qt braiser pan which I also like a lot, but it is bigger and much heavier, even though I'm used to heavy cast iron. This one is much easier for me to handle and I therefore prefer it, if the recipe will fit. See photos for comparison. Both are good values, seem to be decent quality, and are much, much less expensive than the famous brands.So far I've not had any problems with chipping (if they chip in normal use I'll try to return them), nor with food sticking to them. As recommended, I use low to medium heat on the stovetop; high heat can be used in the oven. The lids are oven safe too. Cast iron is heavy, so of course I'm very careful to set the pan down gently on my glass cooktop and not slide it around.Clean-up has been a breeze in the sink using Dawn dish detergent. I use silicone spoons and spatulas with them as recommended. The rims appear to be dark bare cast iron, so as with any cast iron don't put them in the dishwasher. I'm glad the rim is not enameled as that would be a place more likely to chip. If storing for an extended time, I'll rub a bit of cooking oil on the bare iron rims to avoid any rust. If used frequently this probably isn't necessary if dried completely before putting away.The dark cyan color is similar to a dark teal, although it appears more greenish than blue to me. (I was hoping for more blue, but it's a lovely color regardless.) I like that the color graduates to an even darker tone at the edge of the lid and bottom of the pan, and it has circular accents on the lid, as many of the $300 braisers do. The lid also has the little bumps inside that are supposed to distribute moisture onto the food more evenly. I've had this pan for almost a month and so far I'm very pleased and impressed with it. I'm not sure what a similar sized much more expensive pan could do that this one can't, unless it proves to be less durable after more use.If any problems occur later, especially chipping in normal use, I'll try to come back and edit the review. So far so good.

Love the color. Beautiful braiser.Great size.
I love this pan. My colors are cream and gold, so ordered a set of golden replacements knobs. The first night I made a crustless quiche. It baked perfectly. My coworker thought it was as a Le Cruiset pan. It is a good dupe if you are looking for a great enameled cast iron pan for a reasonable price, this is the one.
This pan is not what I wanted. It is very nice but I will be returning it. Very heavy. It would be great for anyone looking for heavy duty pans.
I just brought the new Cuisinart air fryer and oven. And most of braise cast iron pan doesn’t fit. If you looking for something small that fit this kind of oven. This one will do the job. The quality is not the top, not too heavy, a few scratches around the edge, but is good value for the price!!! We shall see how is it hold up. I will update my review after a few use.

Great piece of kit
Looks cool as well
I absolutely love this cast-iron pan! The purple color is beautiful and looks even better in person. More importantly, it cooks beautifully. It heats evenly, holds the heat well, and has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of cookware. It feels very sturdy and well made, and the enameled finish makes it easy to use and clean. I’m extremely happy with both the quality and the gorgeous color. I would definitely recommend it!
In love...
Purchased two in different sizes because I couldn't decide on colour, and they are perfection. Love cooking this way, Cooktown to over and back again... straight to table... serve... lid back on with any left overs, into the fridge. Bang on, thanks team!
It’s great except I really wanted it in white to match my other cast iron but it wasn’t available.
Great pan thank you
The best purchase I've made....the dish is beautiful as well as a perfect fit for my new benchtop oven!! Lovely easy and quick delivery, thank you:-)
I am very pleased. With service and quality.
Thank you.
I absolutely love my new cast iron casserole.
Thank you for the great service love my new pan
I love my new pan.. thank you

It works beautifully.
I now have both sizes and if a larger was offered I would probably have three purple braisers.
My wife loves it. Excellent quality.
Everything about this braiser is beautiful even the way it cooks.
Great
It heats up quickly and cooks the food all the way through in less time than other methods. I really love the color I chose as it gives my kitchen a lift but is still a gentle color on the eyes.
