Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Braiser

 (1 customer review)

This is a wonderful stainless steel pan. It is big and has a large flat surface, which enables faster cooking. You can have a variety of uses for the pan, and cleaning is simple. Just soak the pan with dish soap and hot water for easy cleaning. The aluminum core enables heat to spread evenly and decreases both cooking time and energy consumption. For optimum results, do not use high heat.

The pan performs very well for simmering and slow cooking of rice pilafs, and sauces. I only wish that the inside of the pan was also 18/10 shining stainless steel. The brushed stainless steel center tends to leave faint water marks after washing. This is a great pan, and the only one you will need.
