Time to braise! The Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron Covered Braiser is a pan that does everything. A cross between a Dutch oven and a skillet, this braiser is one of the most versatile pans for home cooks. Prized for their ability to brown and tenderize meats using a wet-heat cooking method, braisers can also sear, simmer, roast, steam, and shallow-fry all kinds of foods. From delicate vegetables or hearty produce to thick, tough cuts of meat, a good braiser never ceases to impress with its transformative cooking abilities. With a wide surface area and sloped sides that make this pan versatile enough to cook with liquids and large amounts of food without spills, this braiser is the perfect pan for quick, cozy one-pot meals. And, as our Best Buy braiser, it does it all for a fraction of the price of more expensive versions. [Image of Yellow Braiser with Lid]( best buy RECOMMENDED Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron Covered Braiser This pot performed just as well as our favorite braiser but had smaller handles that were tough to grasp. Because of its thicker cooking surface, it took a bit longer to heat up and to brown chicken thighs. This braiser had the largest cooking surface area, which ensured proper liquid reduction and a rich, flavorful ragu. It was easy to clean and withstood being whacked with a spoon and having its lid slammed down repeatedly. This pot delivered excellent results at a bargain price.

Limited Quantities: Save 20% [BUY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST]( [How We Tested Braisers]( How We Tested Braisers We tested five braisers, priced from about $59 to about $330. Four of the braisers were made from enameled cast iron and one was ceramic. We braised chicken thighs, browned meatballs (and simmered them in tomato sauce), braised vegetables, roasted chicken, and cooked a pork and pasta dish. Similar in appearance with slight eccentricities, clear winners emerged as the braisers worth bragging about. Cooking We preferred the models made from enameled cast iron as they browned the food better (without burning it) and cooked it more evenly than the ceramic model. A model’s size and shape also played a huge role in the quality of the cooked food. The braisers with wider cooking surfaces could easily accommodate larger foods (e.g., a whole chicken) and evaporate liquids at a faster rate than that of the smaller models. Some models also featured self-basting lids, but we didn’t find this trait to have any significant effect on the prepared food. We favored the models with wide cooking surfaces and gimmick-free lids. [Roasting a Whole Chicken in a Braiser]( Ease of Use Braisers are often used for stovetop-to-oven cooking, so it’s essential that the handles (those on the vessel and the lid knobs) are easy to grasp. We found the models with wide, large looped handles to be the most comfortable to maneuver. We also evaluated the importance of the braiser’s interior color and wall height, finding that lighter interiors offered better visibility while cooking but that greater care needed to be taken while stirring ingredients due to the low, sloped sides. Cleanup We washed all of the braisers by hand; none of the models posed any significant cleaning challenges. Durability Our favorite braisers did not chip or crack when we whacked the rims with a metal spoon 50 times or slammed the lids on the pan 25 times.
