Le Creuset Signature Braiser, 5 Qt.

The Signature Braiser is the wide, shallow workhorse pan for sears, braises, paellas, and one-pot meals where surface area matters more than depth. The 5 quart size handles bigger cuts: a whole bone-in chicken cut into eight, short ribs for six, multiple lamb shanks, or a paella to feed the table. Same heirloom enameled cast iron construction Le Creuset has been crafting in France since 1925.
