Le Creuset Signature Series 3.5-qt Braiser

I love this piece. Its a little heavy for me...buf Im old. LOL. Cooks so nicely.

I love this cookware! It is heavy make no mistake but that is a testament to it’s durability. I leave this on my stove at all times because it is so beautiful.

I’ve ordered this browser twice. Every time it arrives it’s the 5 quart. Not the 3 1/2 quart. I can’t seem to get the 3 1/2 quart shipped. So I’m not going to bother. I’ve even talk to customer service still can’t get the 3 1/2 quart. The first one was returned as it was cracked on the lid.

Cooked 4 steaks in this braiser. They seared perfectly and were tender and delicious! I'm looking forward to using many times over. Waiting for another piece to come back in stock to add to my collection. I love this cookware!

To be honest I bought this pen because of the color! (Cool mint) I do not have a lot of experience with cast iron but they kept talking about the sear you get and heat retention. My other concern was that I have a glass stove top and heard a story about the color coming off and sticking to the burner therefore ruining it. However to be fair I think they left it burning at high heat and had let the liquid run dry. So for 3 yrs I’ve been scared to use any pan with a colored/painted bottom for fear of that story. After doing a little reading online it said to use medium heat for searing and low for simmering etc. so my tip is just go down a little compared to if your used to using other pans. I had no trouble with paint from the bottom burning off and onto my stove top. I just cooked a steak and put the dial right in the middle and it was perfect just don’t be tempted to turn up the heat like I was. Also it said do not pre-heat your pan with nothing in it just put a pat of butter or oil while pre-heating. Please Nate get us some more matching pieces/ utensils crocks etc in this cool mint! I am obsessed! I also ordered the coffee mug and mini crocette and the TSV from last week and I love them all!! PS I dint want to put these pieces away they’re so pretty to look at they’ve been on my stove since I got them!!
