Enameled in a serene hue inspired by sea salt, Le Creuset's cast iron Petal braiser infuses your kitchen and your cooking with the vibrancy of spring blossoms and summer blooms. Layered and lavish embossed petals shape the lid, surrounding the stainless steel knob that serves as the flower's center. Cast iron retains and distributes heat optimally, while the durable enamel coating—green-grey on the exterior, sand-hued within—renders the shallow pan impervious to stains, chips and cracks. The close-fitting lid creates a blanket of heat for even cooking, making the versatile pan lends ideal for braising as well as browning, sauteing, baking and keeping food warm. Going from stove to oven to table for serving spring brunches, Easter dinner and festive meals any time of year, this braiser makes a stunning addition to a Le Creuset collection.
