Lodge Essential Enamel Braiser – 3.5 Qt, Desert Sage, Oven & Induction Safe

Meet a versatile braising pan that blends Lodge's cast iron heritage with a smooth enamel finish. The 3.5-quart Essential Enamel Braiser in Desert Sage is designed to deliver steady heat and rich flavors, while offering a bright touch to your stove and table.

Designed for everyday cooking, this braiser features a moisture-locking lid that helps seal in heat and moisture, supporting tender textures and a rich sauce base. The heavy cast iron core distributes heat evenly and retains warmth, so you can sear, braise, simmer, or bake with fewer temperature fluctuations. The PFAS-free enamel surface provides a non-toxic, easy-clean cooking zone that doesn't require seasoning, making day-to-day maintenance a breeze.

From the stovetop to the oven and then straight to the table, the braiser enables a natural cooking workflow. Dual assist handles offer a secure, balanced grip for confident transfers, while compatibility spans gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops. Oven safe up to 500°F means you can lock in flavors in one pot and finish with a high-heat finish if your recipe calls for it. When cooking is done, hand washing is quick, and the piece is dishwasher-safe for added convenience.
