Can the lid go in the oven too?

A braise usually finishes covered in the oven, so check the lid as well as the pan. Le Creuset and Staub rate the braiser and its lid together to 500°F. Lodge gives 500°F for its braiser and no figure for the lid. Lodge's is the only one with a published weight, 14.61 lb. Le Creuset and Staub allow the dishwasher but advise washing by hand; Lodge recommends hand washing and doesn't say whether the dishwasher is allowed.

Sizes and weights, as the makers give them

Questions before you choose

How are these products ordered?

Products that cover more everyday cooking jobs come first, then those with more pots and pans, then more lids, then by name. It is not a quality ranking, and what we earn from a link never changes the order.

What does “Not stated” mean?

The maker does not publish that figure for this exact product. It does not mean there is no limit; ask the maker or pick a product that states it.
