Handcrafted in France for superior heat distribution and retention, this heirloom-quality Le Creuset braiser is a functional work of art. It's made of enameled cast iron that's specially constructed to tenderize even the toughest cuts of meat. It boasts a wide base to sear without crowding and a tight-fitting lid that helps lock in heat and moisture. Ideal for oven-to-table presentation, the vibrant pan features a sculptural pumpkin design and a stem-shaped knob.
