Clad in durable blush-purple enamel inspired by shallots, this cast iron braiser is impervious to acid, odors and stains—and requires no seasoning. The tight-fitting glass lid creates a blanket of heat for even cooking, ideal for braising meats or vegetables and keeping casseroles or baked goods warm (and keeping an eye on your recipe's progress). This versatile pan goes effortlessly from stove to oven to table for a fresh presentation of short ribs, shallot-garlic bread or plum crumble.

Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
