Cook festively with the Le Creuset braiser from the Noel collection. The sophisticated, snowflake-detailed lid is the perfect way to celebrate the season in the kitchen. Its flat base is ideal for poaching, searing, roasting, stir-frying, and browning, while its tall, rounded sides are great for slow cooking, simmering, sautéing, braising, marinating and even baking. Cast iron distributes heat evenly for consistent results. Two layers of durable enamel coating resist chipping, cracking and staining—this braiser is built to last! Oversized handles provide even weight distribution and a secure grip, so you can easily transport the pot from stovetop to oven to table—even while wearing oven mitts. The tight-fitting lid stays in place and locks in more flavors and aromas. This will surely become the holiday dinner go-to piece.

At the Le Creuset foundry in northern France, molten iron is sand-cast from a single mold that’s destroyed after use, explaining why no two pieces are exactly alike. The Le Creuset cast-iron braiser is sand-cast, painstakingly polished, and finished by hand, then sprayed with two coats of enamel and fired twice. No other procedure yields cookware that performs as well.
