The Le Creuset Signature Round Braiser with Glass Lid in Cerise is a 2.25-quart enameled cast iron braiser that brings steady, even heat to your favorite braised and seared dishes. The wide base allows ingredients to cook in a single layer without crowding, while the tempered glass lid circulates steam to lock in moisture and flavor. Perfect for home cooks who want a versatile, heirloom-quality pan, the Signature Round Braiser transitions effortlessly from stovetop to oven.
Made from enameled cast iron, this braiser delivers superior heat distribution and retention, so you get deep browning and gentle simmering every time. The smooth, light-colored interior enamel lets you watch the cooking process and resists dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking. Because it's ready to use without seasoning, you can start braising chicken thighs, sweating aromatics, or shallow-frying fritters right away.
This size is ideal for 2 to 4 servings—perfect for braised short ribs, pot roast, or a generous batch of ratatouille. The wide base ensures you can sear without crowding, which is key for developing rich flavor. Once you add liquid, the tight-fitting glass lid keeps steam inside and lets you check on dinner without losing heat.
Radiant Cerise brings a classic French look to any kitchen. The enamel exterior is tough enough for daily use, while the ergonomic stainless steel knob and wide handles make lifting easy. The entire pot is oven-safe to 500°F (260°C) without the lid and 425°F (218°C) with the glass lid, and it works on all cooktops, including induction.
When choosing a braiser, think about the dishes you make most. The 2.25 qt size is a great first braiser for smaller households. Cleanup is simple—the enamel is dishwasher safe, though hand washing will keep it looking new. With minimal care, your Le Creuset will be a kitchen workhorse for years.

Braising is the secret to tender, deeply flavored meat. Start by patting your protein dry and searing it in a little oil on medium-high heat until deeply browned on all sides. Remove it, add aromatics, deglaze with wine or stock, then return the meat with liquid until it comes about a third of the way up. Cover with the glass lid and transfer to a 325°F oven for a few hours—or simmer gently on the stovetop. The tight-fitting lid keeps steam in, so you rarely need to add more liquid.
Le Creuset has been making enameled cast iron in northern France since 1925. The secret is a sand-cast mold, a high-temperature enamel finish, and a focus on durability. Unlike bare cast iron, the enamel coating never needs seasoning, doesn't react with acidic foods like tomatoes or wine, and cleans up with minimal effort. The result is a pan that can go from stovetop to oven to table—and then become a family heirloom.
Cerise is Le Creuset's iconic cherry red—a shade that adds warmth to any kitchen and makes the pan easy to spot in a cabinet. If you're matching an existing collection, check out the full range of Le Creuset Signature colors at Perfect Pan Shop to find your perfect palette.

Beautiful braiser.
This braiser is perfect for making stews. It heats evenly and the glass lid is nice. It's a bit heavy though.
I've wanted a Le Creuset braiser for years, and I finally got this one. The cerise color is stunning. It's the perfect size for my husband and me. I've used it for braising lamb shanks, and they came out incredibly tender. The glass lid lets me monitor the cooking without releasing heat. Cleanup is easy—everything wipes right off. It's expensive, but it will last a lifetime. I plan to pass it down to my daughter.
Great for one-pot meals.
I use this braiser almost daily. It's great for searing and then simmering. The round shape is very versatile.
This is my first Le Creuset piece. The quality is undeniable. It cooks food evenly and retains heat well. The glass lid is convenient, though I wish it were the standard metal lid for extra heat retention. It's heavy, but that's expected. The cerise color is beautiful. I think it's worth the investment if you cook often.
Works well.
The 2.25 quart size is smaller than I thought. It's good for two people but not for family meals. The quality is great though.
I have several Le Creuset pots, and this round braiser is the one I reach for most. It's the perfect size for cooking sides or a small roast. The even heat is remarkable. I love that the glass lid allows me to see when my sauce is reducing. The pot is easy to clean, and the cerise color brightens my kitchen. It's a joy to cook with. I highly recommend it.
Perfect size.
This braiser is wonderful. The color is even better in person. It's now my go-to for casseroles.
I bought this to replace an old pot. It's very well made and looks lovely. The cooking performance is excellent. My only complaint is the weight—it's hard for me to lift with one hand. But that's typical for cast iron. It gets hot evenly and cleans easily. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind the weight.
Beautiful and useful.
This is a well-built braiser. It works great on my induction stove. The glass lid is a nice touch.
