Impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains, this cast iron everyday pan is clad in a smooth red enamel that deepens and darkens toward the edges of the dish and its lid. The best-selling hue, which was christened Cerise by the master enameller who created it, was inspired by irresistible cherries. The non-reactive, sand-hued interior does not require seasoning and braises to perfection with dry or wet cooking methods. The lidded pan browns and stews impeccably, creating short ribs or mushroom risotto for two. Compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and electric stoves to glass, ceramic, induction and halogen cooktops, this braiser and its signature stainless steel knob are oven-safe up to 500°F.
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.
