This cast iron braiser is clad in smooth enamel in creamy blush-purple inspired by shallots. The durable coating renders the everyday pan impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Designed with double handles for beautiful balance, the braising pan lends itself to a variety of cooking methods for a wide range of meals. The close-fitting lid creates a blanket of heat for even cooking, ideal for braising and keeping foods warm. The rim of each braiser has a specially designed "all-round" lip for drip-free pouring with the right or left hand, and the non-reactive cooking surface does not require seasoning. This everyday pan goes effortlessly from stove to oven to table to serve five to six servings of lamb shanks, paella or blackberry crumble.
