Braising essentially means browning food on the stove and letting it simmer in a liquid, so the shape of this pot is perfect. Its wide interior and short sides aid it in cooking cuts of meat to perfection, and you can even use the braiser to fry up a quick (and tasty) breakfast. And as is the case with all of Le Creuset's enameled cast iron products, this piece won't stain or become dull over time.

You can immediately tell a low-quality fry pan from a well-made one because with the former, your food will stick to its interior. You won't experience that problem when you invest in this quick-heating skillet, which only requires a small amount of oil to create everyday meals of all kinds. You can even stick it in the dishwasher when you're finished for a seamless cleanup.

Sure, you could use a regular baking pan from the supermarket to prepare a casserole, but where's the fun in that? This 11.5" by 7.5" baking dish is so much more sophisticated, not to mention better quality. It even comes with its own lid, which keeps moisture locked inside so your pasta or protein always comes out tender. Its stoneware material also won't absorb any flavors or smells no matter how often you use it.

Even if you're not a breakfast person, you'll find plenty of opportunities to use this versatile frying pan. Although it, too, is made of enameled cast iron, the pan is remarkably lightweight. It retains and distributes heat like a pro, so eggs, greens, and even your frozen hangover meal will be ready in mere minutes. Additionally, the pan's interior is white (unlike the black interiors of some other cast iron pieces), so you'll be able to closely monitor the contents as they fry.
