The Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Braiser with Glass Lid in Sea Salt is the piece that turns weeknight dinners into slow-cooked masterpieces. Its wide base is built for single-layer searing, so meat browns deeply and vegetables caramelize instead of steaming. Once you add liquid, the tempered glass lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the dish, keeping braises and roasts succulent from start to finish. This 2.25 qt size is perfect for cooking for two to four people—ideal for a home cook who values craftsmanship, even heat, and cleanup that doesn't fight back.
Le Creuset's enameled cast iron is legendary for its ability to distribute heat evenly and hold it steady. That means your food cooks uniformly, and you can take the braiser from the stovetop to the oven without a second thought. The smooth enamel interior prevents sticking and won't react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or wine.
This compact round braiser is ideal for pan-seared chicken, braised short ribs, roasted vegetables, or even shallow-frying seafood. Its generous diameter (compared to its depth) gives you ample surface area, while the low sides let steam escape for crisper results when you need them.
Use your Le Creuset braiser on gas, electric, ceramic, induction, or halogen cooktops. It's oven-safe up to 500°F (425°F with the glass lid and stainless steel knob), so you can start a dish on the stove and finish it in the oven. The glass lid makes it easy to check your food without losing heat.
Unlike traditional cast iron, the enameled surface requires no seasoning and resists staining, dulling, chipping, and cracking. It's dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the soft Sea Salt finish. The ergonomic handles and lightweight-by-quart construction make it easier to lift and maneuver than comparable cast iron braisers.

Le Creuset has perfected enameled cast iron since 1925. The Signature braiser is a versatile addition to any kitchen—it's not just for braising. Use it as a shallow casserole, a Dutch oven for small batches, or a pan for crispy one-pan dinners.
The 2.25 qt braiser is perfect for couples or small families. It fits a 3–4 lb chicken or a handful of chops with plenty of surface area for searing. For larger gatherings, consider a 3.5 qt or larger braiser.
For best results, preheat on medium and add oil before cooking. Lower the heat once your pan is hot—the cast iron retains heat beautifully, reducing the risk of scorching. Let the braiser cool before washing.
Yes, it's oven-safe up to 500°F (425°F with the glass lid and stainless steel knob).

No—the enamel is ready to use. Unlike raw cast iron, it won't react with food and needs no seasoning.
Yes, but hand washing is recommended to keep the enamel looking its best and to avoid discoloration over time.
Sea salt is lovely.
The sea salt color is a soft cream. It's perfect for my kitchen. Cooks evenly.
I love this braiser! The color is neutral and goes with everything. It's the perfect size for making sauces and sides. The cast iron heats evenly and retains heat well. The glass lid is great for monitoring food. Cleanup is easy. It's a bit heavy, but that's expected. I use it every day.
Works perfectly.
The sea salt color is very subtle. It cooks well. I only wish it were a bit bigger.
I bought this as a housewarming gift for my sister. She calls it every day. The color is beautiful and the quality is top notch. It works on all stovetops. The glass lid is a bonus. It's easy to clean. I'm thinking of getting one for myself.
Cooks great.
