Le Creuset's Enameled Cast Iron Signature Petal Braiser brings the beauty of a French anemone to the kitchen. The 2.25-quart braiser in Coastal Blue features an embossed petal lid and a wide, shallow base that is ideal for searing meat and vegetables in a single layer. Enameled cast iron delivers steady, even heat, while the tight-fitting lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the dish. If you want a braiser that can go from sautéing to slow-cooking and look stunning on the table, this is the one.
Start on medium heat and sear ingredients in batches so they develop a golden crust. Add liquid, cover with the petal lid, and reduce to a gentle simmer—or transfer the whole braiser to an oven at up to 500°F. The wide base gives you plenty of surface area for browning before liquid goes in, which is the key to deep flavor.
The embossed petal design isn't just decorative; it also creates a slightly larger surface for condensation to form and drip back onto your food. That means your braised chicken or vegetable tagine stays moist and tender without a heavy, greasy sauce. The stainless steel knob stays cool to the touch and provides a comfortable grip.
This Le Creuset braiser is ready to use with no seasoning, compatible with all cooktops including induction, and oven-safe to 500°F. It's also dishwasher-safe, though hand washing with mild soap preserves the exterior enamel. Avoid high heat—cast iron retains heat so well that medium is usually enough.

Raw cast iron needs seasoning and careful drying, while enameled cast iron gives you the same heat retention without the upkeep. The smooth enamel interior won't react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or wine, so you can braise a lemony chicken or a red-wine stew with confidence. The exterior enamel is just as durable, and the petal design adds a touch of elegance to any table.
Use it for a rosé-braised chicken with spring vegetables, a mushroom and barley risotto, or a caramelized onion tarte tatin. The 2.25-quart size is ideal for two to four portions, making it a versatile choice for weeknight dinners and weekend cooking projects alike.
Start on medium heat, sear ingredients in a single layer, then add liquid and cover with the petal lid. Reduce to low or finish in the oven.
It's perfect for two to four portions of coq au vin, beef bourguignon, chicken braises, or vegetable tagines.
Yes, the enamel is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing helps preserve the exterior color.
No, cast iron retains heat well; medium or medium-low is best. High heat can damage food and enamel.
No, enameled cast iron is ready to use. Seasoning is not needed and can build up on the enamel.
Coastal blue is stunning.
The petal lid is so beautiful that I almost hate to cover the food. It braises evenly and the enamel is flawless. I used it for a chicken casserole and the results were incredible. Easy cleanup with warm water. This is my favorite kitchen item. It makes cooking feel special.
I've owned Le Creuset for years, and this petal design is a standout. The heat retention is typical cast iron—superb. The size works for a family of four. It cleans up nicely. The color is even prettier in person. I'm delighted.
It's very heavy. But that's cast iron.
I use it at least three times a week. The petal lid gets compliments. It goes from stove to oven. Clean up is easy if you let it soak.
The handle on the lid gets quite hot. However, the braising performance is excellent. I just use a towel.
This is a wonderful pan. It makes me happy every time I see it.
Light years better than my old Dutch oven.
I braised a whole pot roast in this and it turned out perfect. The lid's petals trap steam and baste the meat. It's the right size for a small turkey breast. I love the coastal blue color. It's now my go-to pot.
Quality is great. Just very expensive.
I served a stew directly in this braiser and my guests couldn't stop complimenting it. It keeps food warm for a long time. The petal lid is not just pretty—it helps the flavors meld. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
If you already have a good Dutch oven, you don't need this. But it is beautiful.
