Learn About Commercial Braizers
Commercial braizers, also known as brasiers and rondeaus, are perfect for braised dishes. We have a selection from brands like SignatureWares and Browne. It can go from stovetop to oven and is designed for both home and commercial kitchens.
Our braizers include handles that are securely attached to the base. We have u-shaped handles, riveted handles and welded handles. We have stainless steel or aluminum braziers. Braizers are shallower than a Dutch oven and wider than a sauce pan. They are ideal for braising meats, poultry and vegetables because of the large surface area.
Make sure to pair the braiser with the compatible lid (sold separately). These tight-fitting lids keep heat within the pot and help cook efficiently.
We have sizes ranging from 8 qt to 30 qt.
Braziers aren’t the only commercial cookware a kitchen needs. Our Commercial Pots & Pans Buying Guide goes into detail about each type of pot, pan and its features.
Commercial Braizers FAQ
Can a braiser be used as a skillet?
Braisers can be used to brown foods, similar to a skillet, however the broad base and straight sides make is less functional than a typical skillet. Braisers are best for braising dishes - browning meat and/or vegetables then adding liquid to be finished in the oven. Once removed from the oven, liquids can be quickly reduced on the stove top.
What's the difference between a braiser and a Dutch oven?
A braiser (also called a rondeau) is a broad shallow pot with two looped handles. They are available with or without a lid. A Dutch oven is taller, typically very heavy pot with a tight fitting lid. Both can be used on the stovetop and the oven.
How do you use braising pans?
Braising pans have a large base, giving you lots of space to browning meats and vegetables. Then add a small amount of liquid, cover and simmer on the stovetop or in the oven.
What size braiser should I get?
To decide what size of braiser you need, think about two things: the largest cut or quantity of meat (or vegetables) you would be braising at one time and the amount of storage space. Braisers are broad and take up space, but other pots and pans can easily be nested inside when not in use to save space in storage.
