Learn About Commercial Braizers
Commercial braizers, also known as brasiers and rondeaus, are perfect for braised dishes. Our versatile braizers are designed to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven, making them perfect for both home and commercial kitchens.
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. Our selection of braizers include handles that are securely attached to the base. We have u-shaped handles, riveted handles and welded handles. We also have options for stainless steel or aluminum braziers that range from 8 qt to 30 qt.
Don't forget to pair your braiser with a compatible lid (sold separately). Our tight-fitting lids help retain heat within the pot, ensuring efficient cooking and flavorful results.
While braisers are essential, they're not the only commercial cookware your kitchen needs. Check out our comprehensive Commercial Pots & Pans Buying Guide for detailed information on each type of pot, pan, and its unique 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 it 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 stovetop.
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 a 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 brown 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.
