The Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser, 1.5 qt, Cerise is a compact workhorse for stove-to-oven cooking. Its wide, flat base sears and browns, while the low-sided design keeps steam close to the food for gentle braising. Ideal for cooking for two, trying new recipes, or serving at a busy table, this braiser is a versatile addition to any kitchen.
The 1.5 qt size is smaller than a classic Dutch oven, but it still holds enough for a batch of risotto, a small pot roast, or a dish of roasted vegetables. The low profile makes it easy to see and stir your food, and it transitions straight to the table for a casual serving piece.
Braising works by combining dry heat and wet heat. The braiser's shallow shape is ideal for browning meat on the stovetop, then adding liquid and moving to the oven. You can also use it for shallow frying, sautéing, poaching, or even baking a small cornbread.
The Signature collection includes 45% larger handles for a secure grip, an advanced interior enamel that resists wear, and a black phenolic knob safe to 500°F. The smooth enamel releases food easily and cleans up with only a little soap and water.
For anyone who wants a smaller braiser that doesn't compromise on Le Creuset's heat retention, this 1.5 qt Cerise model is a charming, practical choice.

A 1.5 qt braiser might seem small, but it's actually the perfect size for scaling down rich recipes. Use it for:
Start by searing your protein over medium heat, then remove it. Sauté aromatics in the fond, add liquid and the protein back, cover, and move to a preheated oven or lower the heat. The tight-fitting lid will keep moisture inside.
If you cook for one or two, 1.5 qt is ideal. If you often cook for four, step up to 2.25 qt. If you like big batches, a 3.5 qt braiser gives more surface area for searing.
It's perfect for two-serving risottos, small braised chicken thighs, shrimp, ratatouille, or a side dish of glazed carrots.
Yes, enameled cast iron works on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic glass cooktops.
The black phenolic knob is oven safe up to 500°F, so the braiser can go from stovetop to oven without hesitation.
It's best for two to four servings or as a side-dish vessel. For larger gatherings, consider a 2.25 qt or larger braiser.
Perfect for solo meals.
Great small braiser for two. Heats evenly and cleans well. Just wish it came with a lid handle that stays cooler.
This 1.5 qt braiser is adorable and functional. I live alone, so it's the perfect size for a single chicken breast. The cerise color pops in my kitchen. It sears beautifully and goes into the oven. I've made little stews and it's perfect. The enamel is easy to clean. It's a bit pricey for such a small piece, but I know it'll last forever.
I use this for small casseroles at home. It's the right size for my husband and me. The quality is top notch.
I wanted a small braising dish for weekday meals. This Le Creuset is just right. The 1.5 qt capacity fits a small roast or does double duty as a serving dish. It heats evenly and retains heat well. The lid fits snugly and keeps moisture in. The cerise color is vibrant. It's heavier than it looks but manageable. For singles or couples, it's perfect.
Good, but small.
I love this for making personal pot pies. The size is just right. It's a bit heavy but okay.
I received this as a gift and I've been using it almost daily. The 1.5 qt size is surprising versatile. I've made braised lamb shank, mac and cheese, and even a small batch of soup. The enamel cleans up beautifully. The heat distribution is even, and the lid retains moisture. It's easy to lift with one hand, which is important for my arthritis. The cerise color reminds me of my mother's kitchen. It's a lovely piece.
