FAQ's:
What's the difference between the Braiser and the Dutch Oven?
Although they do offer some of the same features in terms of materials. the key differences are in the height of the walls and the size of the base. The braiser offers more room for searing ingredients and shorter walls for holding less liquid needed to braise.
Can I use this with a glass lid?
Yes. Le Creuset tempered glass lids are safe to be used on Cast Iron products and are oven safe up to 260º C / 500º F .
Why is the lid domed?
The lid is domed to promote the circulation of hot air to redistribute moisture.
