Fast, one-pan dinners that go straight to the table.
That’s what this enameled cast iron braiser is built for.

A wide, shallow base gives your food room to brown in a single layer, then simmer down soft and saucy. Enameled cast iron holds steady heat on low and medium, while the smooth interior needs no seasoning and washes clean with warm, soapy water.

In 2.25 qt and 3 qt sizes, it’s sized for 1–4 servings—big enough for mains and veggies together, small enough to grab on any weeknight.

Features

  • Wide base lets you sear ingredients in a single layer
  • Shallow sides help sauces reduce and edges brown
  • Close-fitting lid helps keep moisture in as food braises
  • Smooth enamel interior – no seasoning required
  • Works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction stovetops
  • Oven-safe up to 500°F for baking, roasting, and broiling
  • Easy-grip handles for carrying from oven to table

Best for

  • One-pan casseroles, pasta bakes, and skillet-style lasagna
  • Sear-then-braise dishes like chicken thighs, short ribs, or beans
  • Roasted vegetables, gratins, stuffing, and side dishes
  • Oven-to-table serving when you want the pan to look as good as the food

Use & Care

  • Heat your pan gently on low to medium heat. Taking it slow helps protect the enamel and ensures your bread bakes evenly every time.
  • Wooden or silicone utensils are best—they prevent scratching the enamel surface and keep your pan looking pristine.
  • While dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the enamel’s finish. Avoid metal sponges or abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratching.
  • Use it confidently on stovetops and in ovens up to 500°F (260°C), offering versatile baking options.
  • For stubborn stains, apply a baking soda paste, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse.
  • Before storing, ensure your pan is dry. When stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pieces to maintain a flawless finish.

Why You'll Love It

  • Soft, saucy, low-effort braises

    Thick enameled cast iron walls hold low, even heat so tougher cuts, beans, and chunky vegetables slowly turn tender and soak up flavor with minimal stirring.

  • Better browning, richer flavor

    A broad base gives meat and vegetables room to brown instead of steam, while the tight-fitting lid traps steam and sends it back into the pan, keeping braises juicy as the sauce gently reduces.

  • Easy care enamel interior

    The smooth, non-reactive enamel helps food release easily and rinses clean with warm soapy water, with no seasoning or special routines needed.

How We Compare

VS.

Made without PTFE, PFOA, lead or cadmium.

Often use PTFE or other synthetic coatings that can degrade at high heat.

Thick 3 layer enamel that resists chips and sudden temperature changes.

Thin coatings scratch, peel or chip more easily.

Heavy cast iron core that heats evenly and stays hot for steady searing.

Lightweight pans heat unevenly or lose heat quickly.

No seasoning needed. Enamel seals the iron so it resists rust.

Bare cast iron needs seasoning and can rust if it is not cared for.

Glossy, table ready colors that look good on the table.

Plain, utilitarian looks that stay in the cupboard.

FAQs
  • Which size should I choose: 2.25 qt or 3 qt?

    The 2.25 qt casserole is ideal if you usually cook for one or two people and want something that handles weeknight pasta bakes, small casseroles, roasted vegetables, or shallow braises without feeling oversized, while the 3 qt size is better if you regularly cook for three or four people, prefer family-style portions, or like having leftovers, because it gives you more surface area and depth for larger braises, bigger pasta bakes, and holiday side dishes.

  • What is this pan better at than a regular Dutch oven or skillet?

    A deep Dutch oven is perfect for soups and big stews and a skillet shines for quick sears, but this shallow casserole is built for the dishes that start with a good sear and finish in the oven, giving you a wide base for browning in a single layer, low sides that help sauces reduce and edges crisp, and a lid that keeps food juicy, so you can sear chicken thighs, reduce a sauce, and bake everything to a bubbling finish in one pan.

  • Can I sear on the stovetop and then finish in the oven?

    Yes, this is exactly how the pan is meant to be used, so you can sear over medium or medium-high heat on gas, electric, ceramic, or induction and then slide the whole casserole straight into a hot oven to finish cooking, as long as you avoid shocking a very hot pan with very cold liquids and instead let ingredients lose their chill a little and add liquids gradually so you protect the enamel and get steady, even cooking.

  • Will food stick? Is this non-stick?

    The smooth enamel makes food release more easily than bare cast iron, but it is not a Teflon-style non-stick surface, so you still need to preheat the pan, use a bit of oil or butter, and give food time to develop a sear before you move it, and for melty, sticky dishes like cheesy pasta or gratins, a light coating of fat is usually enough to keep cleanup easy, while any baked-on bits will soften with a short soak in warm, soapy water and can be wiped away with a soft sponge or nylon scrubber.

  • Do I need to season it? Is the enamel safe?

    You do not need to season this casserole, because the enamel completely covers the cast iron and protects it from rust, which means you can wash it with regular dish soap and water, and the enamel itself is non-reactive and food-safe, so you can simmer tomato sauces, wine-based braises, and other acidic dishes without worrying about off flavors, metallic tastes, or special maintenance routines.

  • Can I use it on all stovetops and under the broiler?

    Yes, the casserole works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction stovetops, and it is oven-safe up to 500°F, so you can bake, roast, and finish dishes under high heat if needed, just making sure to lift the pan rather than drag it across glass or ceramic cooktops to prevent scratches and to use proper oven mitts when moving it between stovetop and oven.

  • Is it heavy and easy to handle when it is full?

    The pan has the reassuring weight of real cast iron, but the shallow shape and wide, easy-grip handles make it easier to move than a deep Dutch oven of similar capacity, and when it is hot and full of food, it is best to use two hands with thick oven mitts and, if possible, pull the oven rack out slightly and rest the pan on it while you stir, baste, or serve, rather than carrying it around at arm’s length.

  • How should I clean and care for it? Can it go in the dishwasher?

    Let the pan cool down first, then wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, and for stuck-on bits simply soak it for a while before gently scrubbing so you avoid harsh scouring that can dull the enamel, and although the casserole can go through the dishwasher now and then without harming its basic function, regular hand washing is kinder to the finish and will keep it looking better over the long term.

  • Can I use metal utensils in this pan?

    Wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils are the best match because they are quiet, gentle, and will keep the enamel looking smooth, and while careful use of metal utensils will not instantly ruin the pan, repeated scraping with metal over time can leave visible marks, so if you care about keeping the interior looking as pristine as possible, it is smarter to stick with softer tools.
