The Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser, 5 qt, Deep Teal is a versatile workhorse for transforming tough cuts of meat and hearty vegetables into tender, flavorful meals. Its wide base lets you sear ingredients in a single layer without crowding, while the domed lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food for rich, slow-cooked results. Whether you’re braising short ribs, shallow-frying chicken, steaming shellfish, or simmering a stew, this braiser delivers reliable heat and beautiful presentation from stovetop to table.
The enameled cast iron construction provides superior heat distribution and retention, and it’s ready to use right out of the box—no seasoning needed. The light-colored smooth interior enamel makes it easy to see the fond develop as you cook, and it resists dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking. The tight-fitting lid and ergonomic handles are designed for easy lifting, and the stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature.
At 5 quarts, this braiser is ideal for family recipes and gatherings. It’s the lightest weight cast iron by quart on the market, making it easier to handle than traditional cast iron when moving from stove to sink.

A wide cooking surface is critical for proper browning. The Signature Braiser lets you sear four chicken thighs or two steaks without overlapping, so you get a deep crust that adds flavor to the entire dish. Once liquid is added, the broad base also helps it reduce evenly.
Sear the meat, remove it, cook aromatics, then return the meat with stock, wine, or tomatoes. Bring the liquid barely to a simmer, cover with the domed lid, and transfer the braiser to a preheated oven. The heavy cast iron and tight-fitting lid trap steam, breaking down collagen and infusing the meat with flavor.
The wide, ergonomic handles offer a secure grip even when wearing oven mitts. The light interior enamel lets you see browning levels so you can build a deep fond without burning. The stainless steel knob adds a subtle professional touch and is safe at any temperature.
Le Creuset braisers come in 3.5, 5, and 6.75 qt sizes. The 5 qt model is the most popular for families: it fits a 4-5 lb chicken, a large pot roast, or a big batch of stew. If you cook for two or need to braise in small batches, the 3.5 qt may be enough; for holiday entertaining, go larger.

Yes, it’s oven safe up to 500°F/260°C and the stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature.
A braiser has a wider, lower profile for better surface contact when searing and shallow braising; a Dutch oven is taller for liquids and bread baking.

Yes, the enamel surface is non-reactive and resistant to staining, so you can cook acidic dishes without worrying about metallic tastes.
Beautiful pot. A bit heavy.
This braiser makes the best pot roast I’ve ever made. The lid fits tightly and the heat stays even, so the meat comes out fork-tender every time.
I was hesitant because of the price, but this braiser has earned its keep. I use it for searing chicken thighs, braising short ribs, and even steaming shellfish. The deep teal color is stunning enough to serve from the pot at the table. Cleanup is simple—anything stuck comes off with a little baking soda paste. The size is generous for a family of four. I have no regrets.
I got the deep teal and it’s even prettier in person. It works beautifully for making one-pan dinners. I only wish the lid were lighter, but that’s part of the quality.
I’ve been cooking with cast iron for fifty years, and this Le Creuset braiser is top notch. The enamel coating has held up without any chips, and the heat retention is superb. I can bring oatmeal to a boil then turn off the flame and let it finish with no risk of scorching. It cleans up with just hot water. This pot will be handed down to my daughter someday, I hope.
