Review: GOOD INVESTMENT - This expensive pot replaces my old non-stick 5-quart aluminum frying pan. Everything I did in that old rag (and more) can be done in this cast iron beauty! Expensive? Yes. However, you usually get what you pay for. I do not, for a minute, regret buying this braiser. It is many times better than my old frying pan. It cooks evenly. It’s 5 quart capacity is versatile: You can cook for a few or for many. You can fry, braise, stew, brown, sear, roast, bake, cook rice, and make soup in it. And, it keeps food hot longer with its heavy construction and lid. Heavy? Yes. But not unmanageable for a woman with average strength. Due to its size, storage is an issue for me. I want it readily available but not in the way. The top of the refrigerator is where I keep it, while my 5 quart Dutch oven (yes, also Le Creuset) lives on my stove. It works. Clean-up is easy—sometimes a little soak is needed, but it always comes out clean. Another plus is that it doesn’t require any additional care—no seasoning or immediate drying. It is dishwasher-safe, although I always hand-wash cooking pots. Why hand wash? Two reasons: 1. Big items take up too much needed space in the dishwasher and can interfere with the water spray needed for thorough cleaning. 2. I don’t like what the dishwasher detergent can do to some surfaces. It can cause damage to aluminum and other materials. So, i just don’t want to take a chance with my Le Creuset cookware. Beauty. As with all of the Le Creuset line of cookware, this pot can easily go from the kitchen to the table, or even to the patio or fire pit area. As previously mentioned, it is sturdy and heavy; food will stay hot longer under its hefty lid. It is perfect for taking hot food to a dinner party or potluck meal. This braiser is a good investment for my family. I can honestly recommend it highly to anyone in the market for such a pot. Review: Love Le Le Creuset - This is my 8th Le Creuset pan over the past 20 years. They are the best, non toxic cookware I have seen. The white enamel does not chip, even after 20 years. The 2.2 quarts braiser is perfect for 2-4 people. I had a bigger one but got rid of it due to its heavy weight. This one is about 8 lbs with lid and pan combined. The lid is heavier than the pan. However, I have another glass lid that fits perfectly on this pan if I need to see the inside. It is very versatile and the size is perfect for many dishes. I can use it to make apple pies, chicken pot pie, bread, braised beef, stir fried veggies, omelette, and paella. I like buying smaller size pots and pans from Le Creuset. The big ones are too heavy to wash unless I want to do weight lighting each time I use them. They are so pretty that you can use them to serve directly on the table or put them on a shelf for decoration instead of storage. I have many color: red, white, orange, pink, yellow, and blue. They all look pretty! ## Features - Enameled cast iron delivers superior heat distribution and retention - Ready to use, requires no seasoning - Easy-to-clean and durable enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking - Light colored smooth interior enamel allows easy monitoring of cooking progress - Tight-fitting lids are specially designed to circulate steam and return moisture back to the food - Ergonomic knobs and handles are designed for easy lifting - Stainless steel knob is safe at any oven temperature - Lightest weight cast iron by quart on the market ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YUZ182U | | Best Sellers Rank | #21,840 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #8 in Braiser Pans | | Brand | Le Creuset | | Brand Name | Le Creuset | | Capacity | 3.3 liters | | Color | Cerise | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,222 Reviews | | Finish Type | Enameled | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024147263029 | | Included Components | Braiser | | Item Dimensions | 12.5 x 12.5 x 5.3 inches | | Item Dimensions W x H | 12.5"W x 5.3"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser | | Item Weight | 5.56 kg | | Lid Material | Glass | | Manufacturer | Le Creuset | | Material | Cast Iron | | Model Number | LS2532-3067SS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | LS2532-3067SS | | Product Care Instructions | Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe, Stove Safe | | Shape | Round | | Temperature Rating | 500 °F | | UPC | 024147263029 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Le Creuset - **Capacity:** 3.5 Liters - **Color:** Cerise - **Finish Type:** Enameled - **Material:** Cast Iron ## Images ![Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser, 3.5 qt., Cerise - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Phrko02kL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: inside dia and height, without lid?** A: 10" id, 2 1/8" ht w/o lid **Q: Does the white color stay white?** A: I assume you mean the inside color.

I knew I was taking a risk buying it previously owned but I've been a collector of Le Creuset for decades and thought, "How could anyone damage this?" & it also advertised as returnable which gave me confidence. Well, it is practically perfect. It arrived in an outer box but inside that it was in the famous orange Le Creuset box in excellent condition. Only looked like it may have been opened and closed a couple times before. The braiser is almost pristine condition in a color that is discontinued and almost impossible to find. There are barely noticeable surface scratches on 2 small areas of the lid. I got the impression they occurred during shipping at one point. Something I would be upset about if I had paid full price but with the savings I find them tolerable. I always loved this "Rhone" color and unmatched L.C. colors just don't matter. I have many different colors and they all look awesome together or apart. I feel so lucky to have this color and this item is the kind of thing one passes down to younger generations. I still have Le Creuset I purchased 40 years ago and I use it frequently and it still looks new. Thank you for offering a nice savings on a pre owned gorgeous braiser. I love it and I will treasure its beauty & functionality (hopefully) for a long, long time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Braiser, 3.5 qt., Cerise - Le Creuset Silicone Set of 2 Handle Grips, 5" x 2 1/2" each, Cerise - Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven, 5.5 qt., Cerise --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/212573422-enameled-cast-iron-signature-braiser-3-5-qt-cerise](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/212573422-enameled-cast-iron-signature-braiser-3-5-qt-cerise) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
