No hot spots
Thin pans scorch a braise before the center is done. The heavy cast iron core here absorbs and spreads heat evenly, so sauces reduce and meat turns tender without sticking or burning on the bottom.

Description
Crock-Pot Artisan Enameled Cast Iron Braiser, 5 Quart
- What it is: A 5-quart enameled cast iron braiser with a matching self-basting lid.
- Oven safe to 500°F, so you can brown on the stove and finish in the oven.
- Works on every cooktop, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
- Self-basting lid recirculates moisture back over the food as it cooks.
- Slate Gray gradient enamel goes straight from the burner to the table.
Some dishes are built on time and gentle heat, and this is the pan for them. The Crock-Pot Artisan braiser sears a roast, then holds a slow, even simmer, so a weekend braise comes out tender without hot spots or scorching. The wide, shallow shape gives you room to brown in a single layer before you add liquid.
Key Features
- Heavy cast iron core absorbs and holds heat for steady, low-and-slow cooking.
- Enameled inside and out, so there is no seasoning to maintain before you cook.
- Wide 5-quart footprint browns meat in one layer instead of steaming it.
- Self-basting lid drips collected moisture back onto the dish for juicier results.
- Induction ready, plus gas, electric, and ceramic, so it fits any kitchen.
- Large loop handles give you a secure grip when the pan is full and heavy.
- Stove-to-table looks in a graduated Slate Gray finish that suits any place setting.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is this braiser induction compatible?
Yes. The cast iron base works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops.
How hot can it go in the oven?
It is oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, lid included.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only. Washing by hand protects the enamel and keeps the finish looking new.
Does the color vary between pieces?
The Slate Gray finish is graduated, so the shading varies subtly from one braiser to the next.
Care & Use▼
Let the braiser cool before washing to protect the enamel. Hand wash with warm water and a soft sponge, then dry fully to prevent water spots. Use wooden or silicone utensils to keep the interior smooth, and always lift with dry oven mitts because the handles and lid stay hot.

Why Choose Crock-Pot?▼
Crock-Pot built its name on slow, patient cooking, and the Artisan line brings that same idea to the stovetop. This braiser is made for the dishes that reward time: short ribs, ragu, cassoulet, and braised greens. The enameled cast iron does the hard part, holding an even, gentle heat so you can walk away and trust the pan. It is heavy, honest cookware meant to last for years and look good on the table when it gets there.

Built for the long, slow cook
Sear and finish in one pan
Swapping dishes between stove and oven loses browning and time. This braiser browns on the burner, then goes straight into a 500 degree oven with the lid on, so one pan carries the whole recipe.
Ready for any cooktop
Not every pan works on induction. The cast iron base heats on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction alike, so this braiser fits your kitchen now and moves with you if the stove ever changes.

How it compares
Against a nonstick skillet
A nonstick pan browns fast but loses heat the moment you add cold liquid. This braiser holds temperature through a long simmer and moves into the oven, which nonstick cannot safely do.
Against a tall stockpot
A stockpot is deep and narrow, so meat steams instead of browning. The wide, shallow braiser sears in a single layer first, building the flavor a stockpot never develops.
Against a slow cooker crock
A slow cooker is hands-off but cannot sear. This braiser browns and simmers in the same pan, giving you the depth of flavor that comes from a proper sear before the low cook.
Is this braiser induction compatible?
Yes. The cast iron base works on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops.
How hot can it go in the oven?
It is oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, lid included.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Hand wash only. Washing by hand protects the enamel and keeps the finish looking new.
Does the color vary between pieces?
The Slate Gray finish is graduated, so the shading varies subtly from one braiser to the next.
How fast will it ship and can I return it?
Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.

Quality, nice size
So I was specifically in search of the biggest dutch oven that would fit in my camper oven. This fits like a glove. Should fit in any camper oven. Big enough to do a 3-4 pound pot roast with veggies. What kind of psycho makes pot roast when camping? Me.

Excellent, versatile, sturdy and good looking
Excellent, versatile, and good looking. Great for braising and then into the oven for baking. I love this for vegetable casserole and a big skillet for prepping spaghetti bolognese.
