Why It’s Great

Wide and Shallow by Design

The braiser's proportions offer more surface area than a Dutch oven and lower sides for better searing and browning.

From Stovetop to Oven to Table

A workhorse that goes everywhere your food goes: stovetop, oven, then straight to the table as a centerpiece.

Wide Handles = Fewer Spills

Extra-wide handles give you a serious grip even with oven mitts on, because you don’t want to risk a drop of the good stuff.

Enamel for Days

Most enameled cast iron has 2 or 3 layers. Ours has 4.

Those layers give our cookware a thicker, more uniform coating that resists chipping and requires zero seasoning, ever.

More Than a Pretty Face

Legendary heat retention starts at the core.

At 4.5mm, the core of our Enameled Cast Iron holds temperature steady even when cold ingredients hit the surface.

Questions?

Can I use it in the oven?

Yes! The Misen Enamel Cast-Iron Braiser is oven-safe to 500º F / 260º C
Will this work on my induction cooktop?

Yep — this cookware is compatible with all stovetops (gas, induction, electric, etc.).
Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Yes, this piece is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing to extend your braiser's long life even further.

    Awesomeness

    We absolutely love this pan. First, it’s beautiful, but more importantly, it’s incredibly functional. You can use it on the stovetop and then finish your meal in the oven, and it cleans up so easily. I loved mine so much that I bought one for my son, too. I highly recommend it.

    Awesome utensil

    Got this to supplement the Dutch Ovens we had previously bought - it’s solid, heavy, but oh so awesome - flexible for many uses!

    A Beast of a Braiser

    I kept running out of room in my LC 3.5 qt braiser and wanted something with a larger base that would sear more than 2 chicken breasts at a time. And boy does this thing have a large base. It's much bigger and heavier than I thought, and I thought it would be big and heavy. Quality seems to be excellent especially for the price and I really like the big handles. Good thing because it takes every bit of those handles to wrestle this beast into submission. Just know that going in and you'll be very happy with this braiser.

Why a Gray Enamel Cast‑Iron Braiser Is a Kitchen Workhorse

The gray enamel braiser is built for the wide, shallow cooking that stews, braises, and pan roasts need. Its 4.5mm cast-iron core holds heat evenly, so a good sear doesn't fade once you add liquid and drop the temperature down for a long, slow simmer. The extra-wide handles make it easy to move from stovetop to a 500°F oven and then straight to the table for serving.

Four layers of enamel — more than most enameled cast iron on the market — mean it never needs seasoning and resists chipping through years of everyday use. It's dishwasher safe, though hand-washing will keep the finish looking new longest. If you're building out a full cast-iron lineup, it pairs naturally with a taller Dutch oven for soups and braises that need more depth, or you can browse the full enameled cast iron collection to see how the pieces work together.

Once dinner's ready, a sturdy serrated knife makes quick work of crusty bread to soak up all that braising liquid.
