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.

    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.

    I was looking for a braiser because I had a specific recipe I wanted to make (cassoulet).

    It turned out great. The quality is amazing and the heat was even all around.
