The new XD coating on our Swiss Diamond Braiser contains 20% more diamonds than our previous HD line, making each piece more durable. With similar proportions to a Dutch oven, the braiser is ideal for pot roast, goulash, ratatouille, Irish stew and more! Thick, cast aluminum construction guarantees zero warping with even heat distribution. Take the braiser from stovetop to oven to table as all Swiss Diamond cookware is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). The heat-tempered glass lid allows you to closely monitor your food as it cooks and features an adjustable steam vent for advanced moisture control.
