The Le Creuset Olive Branch Collection Enameled Cast Iron Saucier, 2.25 qt, Marseille is a chef’s favorite for a reason. Its smooth contoured interior and sloped sides make it easy to stir, whisk, and reduce sauces without corners trapping ingredients. The broad surface area lets liquids evaporate quickly, so you get glossy pans sauces and perfectly cooked risotto. Crafted from Le Creuset’s legendary enameled cast iron, this saucier delivers superior heat distribution and retention, and it’s ready to use without seasoning.
Le Creuset Olive Branch Saucier: Why It’s More Than a Saucepan
Unlike a standard saucepan, the saucier’s rounded bottom lets you reach every edge with a whisk. It’s the ideal tool for making béchamel, hollandaise, gravy, and fruit compotes. The tight-fitting embossed lid circulates steam and returns moisture to the food, keeping vegetables vibrant and flavorful.
What Can You Make in Your 2.25 Quart Saucier?
Sauces: classic French sauces, tomato sugo, lemon butter sauce
Risotto: creamy risotto without constant stirring sticking to the corners
Sautéed vegetables: caramelized mushrooms, wilted greens, spring peas
Small-batch soups and side dishes: enough for two to four servings
The deep Marseille blue, accented with the olive branch motif, brings Mediterranean charm to your stovetop and table.

Product Details
Why a Saucier Is a Versatile Kitchen Workhorse
The rounded profile of a saucier allows a whisk to reach every bit of the base, so sauces come together more smoothly. The wide top speeds up reduction, making it ideal for concentrated pan sauces and syrups. You’ll reach for it for risotto, oatmeal, and blanched greens more than you expect.
Risotto and Sauce Recipes to Try
Start with a classic mushroom risotto: sauté shallots, add arborio rice, deglaze with white wine, and stir in warm broth one ladle at a time. For a lemon herb pan sauce, deglaze the pan after searing chicken with stock and lemon juice, then swirl in butter. The smooth interior makes cleanup easy after high-stir recipes.
Caring for Enameled Cast Iron
Always hand wash and dry thoroughly. Avoid plunge washing a hot pan – it can cause cracking. Store with the lid slightly ajar or a paper towel in between to allow airflow. The enamel will remain glossy for years with basic care.
The Olive Branch Marseille Design Story
Inspired by the sun-drenched olive groves of Provence, the embossed olive branch motif adds a refined, artisanal feel. The deep Marseille blue glaze complements both modern and classic kitchens, making this saucier a piece you’ll love leaving on the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this saucier on an induction cooktop?
Yes, enameled cast iron is magnetic and works on all stovetops including induction.
Is the saucier oven safe?
Yes, the cookware is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C) and the stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature.
What is the difference between a saucier and a saucepan?
A saucier has sloped sides and a rounded bottom, which makes stirring and whisking easier and helps liquids reduce evenly; perfect for sauces, risotto, and omelets.
Do I need to season the cast iron?
No, the enameled surface needs no seasoning and is naturally non-reactive – you can cook acidic foods without worry.
How do I remove stubborn stains from the interior?
Use a soft sponge with warm soapy water or a specialty enamel cleaner; avoid abrasive metal brushes that can dull the surface.

Superb quality, just as expected
I have owned Le Creuset pieces for over thirty years, and this saucier continues the tradition. The enamel is flawless, the Marseille color is even richer in person, and the embossed lid lifts easily with one finger. It heats evenly and holds that heat, which makes all the difference in a proper béchamel. I have not yet had a dish stick, and cleanup is simply a wipe. It is expensive, but you are paying for a lifetime of use.

Perfect for risotto
I use this for risotto and it’s absolutely perfect. The wide base lets the rice cook evenly and the straight sides make stirring easy. My whole family fights over the crispy bits at the end.
