Backcountry Iron Enameled 2.25 Quart Braiser with Lid | 2.25 qt (2.1 L) Desert Ruby Red

• Backcountry Iron’s colorful enamel finish 2 quart braiser distributes heat evenly for superior browning and searing to provide an elite cooking experience. Our Desert Ruby Red porcelain coating offers a great vintage look! This medium braiser has a diameter of 10.25 inches and holds 2.25 quarts. Similar size as a standard 10-1/4 inch skillet.
• Self-basting lid provides an extra 1 inch of cooking clearance and circulates moisture for juicy, tender meat. The wide cooking surface is great for reducing sauces, and braising tough meats like short ribs, oxtail, and lamb shanks. This medium braiser is also great for one pot meals, mac and cheese, and slow roasting on cold nights in.
• The light interior cleans easily, and resists odors. Our enameled cookware is compatible with gas, induction, and electric cooktops. Withstanding temperatures up to 500° Fahrenheit, this versatile braiser gives you the confidence to make anything from any cookbook. Take your cooking skills to the next level with our cerise casserole.
• The tight fitting lid allows you to cover meals while cooking to lock in moisture, keeping food from scorching or drying out. Accommodates meals like lasagna, roasts, and stews. Also doubles as a dutch oven or casserole dish for other baking needs!

• Prepare for Cooking — Ensure the braiser is clean and dry. If using for the first time or after extensive cleaning, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the interior and exterior and heat gently to season. This protects the enamel and enhances non-stick properties.
• Stovetop or Oven Cooking — Place the braiser on your gas, induction, or electric cooktop. For oven finishing, preheat your oven to the desired temperature (up to 500°F/260°C) and carefully transfer the braiser using oven mitts.
• Braising and Roasting — Add ingredients and liquid, then cover with the self-basting lid. Allow food to cook slowly, ensuring the lid traps moisture. Monitor cooking progress and stir as needed, using care with utensils to protect the enamel.
• Cleaning and Care — Allow the braiser to cool before washing. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust, even on enameled surfaces. Dishwasher safe, but hand washing preserves the finish longer.
