5.5 QT Braiser Description

This sexpot is a delight, right down to its cast-iron core. It can do it all – sizzlingly hot enough to sear beef and with such an even temper, you can then braise it in wine for hours before whisking it to the dining table. And those stunning enamel layers ensure a nearly nonstick surface that makes cleanup so easy you won’t want to put it away. So don’t. This baby’s pretty enough to leave out on the stove.

Why The 5.5 QT Braiser is Great

4.5 mm Iron Core: This offers incredible heat retention. It sears at ultra-high temps for perfect browning and can deep fry at a consistent 350 degrees.
4 Layers of No-chip Enamel: The common process of dipping in enamel can leave rough spots that will inevitably chip. Our cutting-edge spray technique evenly applies four, .3 mm, ultra-thin layers. You'll need a sledgehammer to chip that.
Extra Wide Handles: Big enough to easily grab with mitt-covered hands.
Extra Wide Base: It's bigger than your biggest frying pan. Use it to cook up big batches of your signature dish, and serve it right in the pan.

Best braiser but heavy
It’s probably the heft that makes this braiser cook so well. I’ve used it to braise a spatchcocked chicken, 6 chicken thighs, 2 lbs of lamb shoulder for a tagine, and a massive paneer - not all at the same time but over the last six months. It both browns and simmers well. No hot spots, very even heat, like the good braiser it is. Give it a few extra minutes to come up to heat, then add oil/butter, then cook. Keep the heat moderate to med high: that’s all it needs. The finish cleans up with no effort. I haven’t put in a dishwasher, and I wouldn’t.
Bought two.

Heavy braiser!
Wow! This thing is heavy. I'm 73 so it may be challenging to pick up with food in it. It's beautiful and excellent quality. I tried it out by making collard greens in it! I lucked out and got it 75% off - $68! Still can't believe it. Both of my daughter's birthdays are in January so I bought them each one too. Three for less than the price of one! I have many pieces of Misen stainless steel cookware and four knives. I love every single piece!

Incredible quality at half the price
We bought the Misen 5.5 qt braiser after ordering a similar product from a well known French competitor that unfortunately arrived damaged, and the replacement item also arrived damaged. I decided to try Misen at that point and could not be happier. The packaging was far superior, and its no accident that the Misen item arrived undamaged. It feels heavy in a way that feels premium, but remains usable. It cooks great on our glass top stove, and we've already used it several times. I'll definitely buy a misen product again, though I would love to see some additional colors and additional cast iron offerings added in the future.
