Staub x Smitten Kitchen Cast-Iron Braiser

No, this braiser features a black matte enameled interior, which means it does not require seasoning. It is ready to use right out of the box and provides excellent browning capabilities.

Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.

While the product is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel over time.

The lid is designed with a specific weight and fit that traps steam inside the pot. As the steam rises, it condenses on the lid and drips back down onto the food, keeping your roasts and stews moist throughout the cooking process.

The braiser is oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for high-heat roasting, braising, and even baking recipes.

With a 3.91-quart capacity, this braiser is ideal for meals serving 3 to 4 people. The wide base and sloped sides make it particularly effective for browning meats or preparing one-pot meals like shakshuka or braised chicken thighs.
