The Le Creuset Toughened Nonstick PRO braiser is a 2.5-quart shallow casserole that puts a wide, even-heating surface under your searing, browning, and simmering. Its textured triple-reinforced PFOA-free coating is built for flavor and easy cleanup—so if you cook for two to four and want a pan that moves from stovetop to oven without a fuss, this is your everyday workhorse.
The textured interior is the standout feature. It promotes browning and searing while the triple-reinforced PFOA-free coating resists sticking and wipes clean. Hard-anodized aluminum spreads heat quickly and evenly, so there are fewer hot spots than you'd find in a basic nonstick pan. Since it's safe for metal utensils and dishwasher-safe, this braiser is easy to live with on busy nights.
A 2.5-quart shallow casserole is ideal for two to four servings. Try it for creamy orzo with seared mushrooms, a mini pot roast with root vegetables, or a stovetop mac and cheese that goes under the broiler. Because the base is wide, you can brown aromatics and meat in batches without crowding—then deglaze and finish with the lid on.
This Le Creuset braiser works on all cooktops, including induction, and the hard-anodized body is oven-safe to 500°F. The tempered glass lid safely reaches 425°F. Handles stay cool on the stovetop, and the PFOA-free surface is safe for metal utensils. For everyday care, wash in the dishwasher or by hand; allow it to cool before cleaning.
Wide 2.5-quart base lets you sear in a single layer for better browning and flavor.
Textured triple-reinforced PFOA-free coating releases food easily and wipes clean.
Hard-anodized aluminum heats quickly and evenly across all cooktops, including induction.
Oven-safe to 500°F (glass lid to 425°F) for stovetop-to-oven cooking.

Start with a dry pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil, then place ingredients in a single layer—thanks to the 2.5-quart wide base, you won't need to crowd. Let the first side develop a golden crust before flipping. Once browned, add aromatics and liquid, cover with the tempered glass lid, and reduce heat. The lid's tight fit keeps steam inside, which helps collagen break down in tougher cuts and keeps vegetables tender.
If you mostly cook for one or two, a 2.5-quart shallow casserole is the sweet spot. It's large enough for a whole small chicken, four chicken thighs, or a two-pound roast, yet compact enough to store easily. For larger families, consider moving up to a 3.5-quart braiser or a 5-quart Dutch oven.
While this pan is dishwasher-safe and metal-utensil-safe, a little care goes a long way. Use wooden or silicone tools when possible, wash by hand after the pan cools, and avoid cooking sprays that can leave a residue. With that routine, the PFOA-free coating will keep releasing food for years.
Yes, hard-anodized aluminum is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen.
The tempered glass lid is oven-safe up to 425°F, while the braiser body can go to 500°F. For recipes above 425°F, use a metal or cast-iron lid if you have one.
Yes, the triple-reinforced coating is safe for metal utensils, but silicone or wooden utensils will extend the finish's lifespan.
Think small-batch braised chicken, shallow stews, casseroles, eggs, vegetables, and sautéed sides. The wide base is great for searing before adding liquid.
No. The PFOA-free nonstick surface is ready to use and requires no seasoning.
Beautiful and cooks perfectly.
This braiser sears and simmers with no sticking. The glass lid lets me keep an eye on things. It's a great size for a family of two. I've made coq au vin and short ribs in it. Cleanup is easy. I love it.
The nonstick is incredible and the pan is beautiful. I can cook without much oil. It's easy to lift even when full.
It's a hefty pan. But it cooks well.
I've been a private chef for years and this braiser performs beautifully. The heat distribution is even and the nonstick surface is genuinely durable. Searing chicken leaves a perfect fond, and deglazing is simple. The glass lid contains splatters. The size is perfect for small batches. I've recommended it to friends.
It does exactly what I need. Only downside is the price.
