Daniel Boulud Kitchen Infiniti Cast Iron 3-Quart Oval Roaster, White

Attractive enough to cook and then serve from, this 3-quart oval roasting pan is the ideal size to cook a small fisherman's stew, braise a pair of quail, or bake a few servings of seasoned potatoes with cheese. Made by prestigious French cookware manufacturer Sabatier under the Daniel Boulud Kitchen label, this roaster is constructed of heavy cast iron, which absorbs and transfers heat evenly for slow uniform cooking of meats and vegetables. The pot is coated with durable enamel in vivid color for a lifetime of protection and for easier cleaning. The original cast iron surface peeks through along the rims of the pot and the lid to more closely resemble rustic French countryside pottery from generations past. The cast-iron lid also has an exposed unenameled handle and has "flavor beads", or tiny raised balls, on its underside to help steam condense and retain moisture and flavor when using the roaster to braise meats or vegetables. Sturdy ridged handles on either side of the roaster prevent slipping but do require potholders as the cast iron retains the oven's heat. All Daniel Boulud Kitchen cookware is dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde
