Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 11-inch Brasier

A brasier is a wide, low pot with two handles, made for searing a large piece of meat and then braising it in the oven. The 11-inch Excellence brasier holds short ribs, a pot roast or osso buco for four in one layer.

The broad base browns meat across its whole surface, and the two welded handles make it easy to move the full pot into the oven. The matching lid is the 28 cm Excellence lid. For a larger braise, see the 12 1/2-inch brasier.


Why a Brasier Rather Than a Stock Pot

Braising works best when the liquid comes only partway up the meat, so the exposed top browns in the oven while the bottom simmers. A tall stock pot would bury the meat and boil it. The brasier’s low walls and wide base give exactly that shape, and they also make it a good pan for a large batch of risotto, a skillet-style chicken and rice dish or shallow-poached fish for a group.

    The Matfer Bourgeat Excellence Line

    Excellence lids are sized in centimeters; the last two digits of a piece’s item number give its diameter.


    Care

    • Dishwasher safe; hand washing keeps the polished finish bright.
    • Preheat on medium heat with fat in the pan before adding food, and let protein release on its own before turning it.
    • Remove heat tint or mineral spots with a stainless steel cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend.
