FAQ's:
What's the difference between the Braiser and the French Oven?
The Braiser features a wider base and shorter walls. which makes it ideal for searing and braising with less liquid. The French Oven has taller sides. making it better for larger dishes requiring more liquid.
Can I use this with a glass lid?
Yes. Le Creuset tempered glass lids are safe for use with cast iron products and are oven-safe up to 260ºC / 500ºF.
Why is the lid domed?
The domed lid helps circulate hot air. redistributing moisture throughout the pot to ensure even cooking and tender dishes.
