HOME > Chowhound > Cookware >   Le Creuset wide vs braiser  I'm
wondering if anyone has seen both of these or used both and
could comment on which to purchase for my kitchen. I currently
own the Cuisinart Multi Clad pro 12 piece set and a LC 5.5 Qt
round French oven. My Cuisinart set has a 3.5 qt saute pan, I
always wished I had a larger one, and when I saw the LC braiser,
I thought, voila! but alas, it doesn't come in my color (not
really a serious consideration) at my local store, they
suggested the wide round french oven as a substitute that I
could get in a color I like (caribbean or white). I'm looking
for something that has a larger base, more room in the bottom.
I'm not an expert, so that is the only thing I was considering
along with the braiser being less deep... any thoughts?? Thanks

own the wide French dutch oven, and it is the bomb. It's the
only Le Creuset I own, and I would never trade it for the
narrower and higher-walled LC dutch
