Guy Fieri 5099875 Light Weight Cast Iron Braiser Pan, 5-Quart, Red



PERFECT in every way.
The description says it all:

Pre-seasoned ... YES! No muss, no fuss, perfectly coated for that great cast-iron sear without the stick. Clean up is a dream.

Light-Weight ... YES! Very managable on the stovetop compared to the labor involved with the typical "cast-iron".

Hot Rod Red ... the picture doesn't do justice, its a delight to have in my collection.

What the description doesn't elaborate on is the glass dome lid that is included - in the braising process, the built-up steam/moisture streams beautifully down the curved sides instead of the droplets soaking the food from the top. There are different schools of thought on this, but I prefer the moisture coming from the bottom instead of drenching the food from the top.

My hope is that they'll expand this line.

Love this pan!!
It's great, light weight and cooks evenly. Love it!! Thumbs up to guy for making a great pan for us.

A great braiser
I bought it to replace a cast iron braiser that my family member ruined. This is one fourth the weight, you can monitor the food without lifting the lid, because it's glass, and the food is delicious. Still requires all the precausions associated with cast iron: hand wash, no soap. It heats evenly. Well worth the money.
