The Circulon ScratchDefense™ C1 Series Clad 7-Quart Nonstick Braiser with Lid is the wide, shallow pot you reach for when you want deep flavor without deep fuss. It combines clad stainless steel heating with a remarkably scratch-proof nonstick surface, so you can sear, toss, and simmer without worrying about the finish.
Circulon ScratchDefense™ C1 7-Quart Nonstick Braiser: what can you cook in it?
Use it for pot roasts, coq au vin, chicken with vegetables, chili, braised short ribs, or even shallow frying. The wide base gives plenty of surface for browning, while the 7-quart capacity and lid hold moisture for slow-cooked tenderness. It can replace a Dutch oven for many braising and roasting recipes.
Braiser vs. Dutch oven
Compared with a deep Dutch oven, a braiser's lower, wider profile makes it easier to sear in batches and reduce sauces. If you often cook on the stovetop and finish in the oven, this braiser does the job with less weight and more surface area. It's oven safe up to 500°F, so a casserole or roast can go straight from burner to oven.
Circulon backs the C1 Series Clad with a Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee against scratching, peeling, and flaking.
