A green Le Creuset Dutch oven with petal-design lid

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

My Le Creuset Dutch oven was one of my first “grown-up” buys — and I still use it weekly. I’d love to add this elegant braiser to my kitchen.

Fitting for spring, the lid of this cast iron braiser features an embossed petal design. Put your ingredients in the wide base for searing; add the lid to lock in moisture and flavor. Cast iron evenly distributes and holds heat and is easy to care for — it resists dulling, staining, chipping, and cracking, and it is also dishwasher safe. 

Le Creuset’s Petal Signature Braiser is $299.95 at Nordstrom and comes in four colors.
