This was a gift for my daughter. She does a lot of cooking for 2 and wanted a smaller version of a big one she had. This is a great size for 2 (although big enough for more). The brand is well known and respected and this was the same cost as directly from manufacturers. Read more

My wife does a lot of cooking and has been looking for a quality cast iron braiser. The Good: - The braiser pan is made of quality cast iron and enamel material. It is a heavy pan but not too heavy given the size. - The pan is not terribly large. It's the perfect size for a side dish for a large family or a main dish for a family of 3-4. - The pan heats up well in the oven. - The lid fits securely to prevent food from drying out. The lid handle gets hot in the oven so make sure you use a potholder to take the lid off. - The Light Mist color is a pleasant color for cookware and different from the typical enamel cast iron pans that are red or blue. The pan is black on the inside, which makes cooking stains less visible. - The inside coating of the pan acts somewhat like a non-stick material. The Bad: - Biggest Complaint: The bottom of the pan is a rough material that feels like sandpaper. We are careful when moving the pan around on the counter, oven, stove top, or cupboard so it doesn't scratch those surfaces. I wish the bottom was a smooth enamel like the rest of the pan. Overall, it is a very nice product and would be nearly perfect if not for the bottom's surface. Read more

I got this Caraway Enameled Cast Iron Braiser as a gift for a friend, so while I haven't used it myself, I was blown away by how gorgeous and thoughtfully designed it is. My friend loves cooking and stylish kitchen gear, so I'm sure this will be a perfect addition to their collection. What's Awesome: + Beautiful Design: The modern, sleek look of this braiser is absolutely stunning. The dark navy color really stands out and would look great in almost any kitchen. + Non-Toxic and Easy to Clean: The enamel coating isn't just eye-catching, it's super practical too. It's non-stick and non-toxic, which means no need for seasoning, and cleanup is a breeze compared to traditional cast iron. + Versatility: This braiser works on all stovetops (even induction) and is oven-safe up to 500°F. The 3.5 qt size and domed lid make it ideal for dishes like braised meats, casseroles, or even baking bread. + Sustainability and Durability: It's made from 50% recycled materials, which is a nice touch for anyone who's environmentally conscious, and the lifetime warranty shows that it's built to last. What Could Be Better: - The Price: It's definitely on the higher end, so it might not fit every budget. There are other braisers out there that offer good performance for less. Who Would Love This Braiser: - Home cooks who want cookware that's as beautiful as it is functional. - People who hate the hassle of seasoning and scrubbing raw cast iron. - Anyone who values sustainable, high-quality products. Who Might Skip It: - Shoppers looking for budget-friendly options. - Fans of traditional cast iron who prefer the classic feel and maintenance process. A Few Extra Tips: - To keep the enamel finish looking great, avoid metal utensils. - Hand washing is best, even though it's technically dishwasher-safe. - While the braiser itself is oven-safe, double-check the temperature tolerance of the lid's knob just to be safe. Overall, this cast iron braiser is a gorgeous, versatile piece of cookware that makes a fantastic gift or special treat for yourself. It's a bit of an investment, but with its easy maintenance, durability, and standout design, it's well worth considering if you love to cook and appreciate top-notch kitchen gear. Read more

I ordered this Dutch oven to replace my old non-stick saute pan. I have been slowly moving away from the non-stick chemical surfaces, and opting for a more natural coating. I love that this pan is toxic free. This is a beautiful quality pan. It has some significant weight to it, and the surface was finished to perfection. There is definitely no shawty workmanship here. The pot is completely lined with porcelain, while the interior, I believe is cast iron. Because it is coated in porcelain, there is no worry of rusting. It is also easy to clean with soap and water. It does take a little bit of time to heat up, since it is so heavy duty. It is recommended that you heat it over medium heat. The heat distribution is excellent. It behaves just as a cast iron pot does. It is absolutely perfect for cooking things such as steak. It does take a bit of a learning curve to use it. I definitely wouldn't call it non-stick. I'm still trying to get the gist of how to prevent food from sticking to the bottom of it. I know this has a lot to do with an appropriate amount of oil used, and the correct lower heat. Luckily, even when food does stick to the bottom of it, it is quite easy to clean. Heat a little water in the bottom of it, and the sticking food will come right off with a little scraping of a wooden spoon. Overall, I really like this pan. It is truly beautiful, and I love that it is toxic free. It does take a little bit of time to learn how to cook in it, but I'm sure that I will get it eventually. It is also very simple to clean, so that is always a positive. I would recommend it. Read more
