Cooks Essentials Enameled Cast Iron Braiser (results)

I finally tried out my new Braiser. Took a FROZEN English roast, an envelope of onion soup mix and a cup & a half of water. Placed in 325 degree oven for 3 hours and for the last half hour I added the vegetables. Smells amazing in my house. Serving with homemade mashed potatoes.

PS: this pan was a ODO for 39.00 it's the 5 qt. I have never owned enamel cast iron, read all the reviews on the CE brand and took the plunge.

LC is in stock for 330.00 for a Braiser 5qt. This one in CE is sold out.

I got the CE set in green and love it. The LC is beautiful but just too expensive on my budget. I think the Q did very well with this CE set.

Just wondering what is an English roast? You're dish looked so yummy, I'd like to try your recipe!

I bought a set in blue and it is the most fab cookware. I cooked a steak in the large fry pan and when finished pan was loaded with stuck on meat drippings.... it looked like it needed lots of scrubbing - but no - I just drew some hot water and added Dawn and minutes later swished with a dish brush and was good as new. Back to pure white inside. What a wonderful invention.

Great question, I think it's a fancy name for a chuck pot roast😄. I've never figured it out, looks like a regular old pot roast to me. I bought it at a regular grocery store, no butcher shop. Anyway, yes, would love to own the real deal CL!! I bought an

As-is 7 pc CE set for $66. and love that too. It came in PERFECT condition. They're still selling it, and still a deal for 89.00 for the 7 pcs.

Thank you so much, I just just took a chance on cooking it frozen to see how it came out, and it turned out amazing. Tender too.

Hi, yes I love it so much and it's cleaning up perfect. I had a couple of stubborn stains from roasting a 5 lb chicken in the braiser, (lid off) and a few shakes of Bar keepers friend, back to its creamy white glory. I'm glad you're enjoying yours too!

I bought one also & have a nice chuck roast waiting on the counter thawing. But, after seeing you cooked frozen might just go for it.

I have other pieces of CE cast iron, including the lightweight, I really like them. Can't beat the great clearance price!

your dinner looks delicious. It's a chilly damp day perfect for a good pot roast!

Well ...we got snow showers this morning so this was my detour from original plan of running errands. Enjoy that yummy roast!😉

I have the expensive LC/Staub and the CE enameled cookware and the CE is excellent quality. I got the 7 piece set when they introduced it to split up and give as gifts but kept the 2 qt brasier because it fits perfect in my Breville convection Oven.

I've always known the arm roast to be called an English roast. To me, much better and for some reason cheaper than a pot roast. Very tender and flavorful if you get a nicely marbled one.

@In-x-s. thanx. Never have seen it at market. I'll ask the butcher if I ever get out of here! Got seven inches but it's freezing, gonna snow/rain tomorrow and another three inches Tuesday! Live on hill so going down driveway is hazardous 'cause keeps icing up. But, I could really go for @LoveMyBaby's recipe right about now. Need some warm, comfort food!
