Meet the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser in Licorice. This versatile 3.5 qt braiser is designed to handle both wet and dry cooking techniques, transforming tough cuts of meat into tender, flavorful dishes. Its wide, flat base allows you to sear ingredients in a single layer without crowding, while the domed lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food for succulent results. Whether you're braising a pot roast, searing chicken, simmering a rich curry, or baking a rustic casserole, this braiser does it all.
The Signature line features 45% larger handles for a sure grip even with oven mitts, and a larger composite knob that withstands temperatures up to 500°F. The oyster-toned interior enamel is highly resistant to wear and makes it easy to monitor your food. The colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking, keeping your braiser beautiful for years.
This size is perfect for 2-4 servings. Try braised chicken thighs with mushrooms, a classic beef pot roast, lamb shanks, or even a vegetarian ratatouille. For a quick weeknight meal, sear pork chops and finish with a pan sauce. The braiser doubles as a beautiful serving dish, going straight from oven to table.
Start by heating the braiser over medium heat and adding a little oil. Season and sear your meat until deeply browned on all sides. Add aromatics and liquid (broth, wine, tomatoes), scrape up the browned bits, then place the lid on and transfer to a 325°F oven for 2-3 hours, or until fork-tender. The enameled cast iron retains steady heat, ensuring even cooking and juicy results.
Le Creuset enameled cast iron is easy to clean. Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Avoid metal utensils and never subject the cookware to thermal shock (e.g., adding cold liquid to a hot pot). While dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel's appearance.

Sleek and functional.
The licorice color is classic. It cooks evenly. Very pleased.
This braiser is well made. The black color is elegant and doesn't show stains. It heats up quickly. The size is perfect for two. I only wish it came with a glass lid. But it's a solid piece.
Love this braiser!
I've had mine for years and it's still perfect. The enamel is durable. The braiser is my most-used pot.
