Serious home cooks and professional chefs, meet your new kitchen workhorse! This Matfer Bourgeat Excellence brazier is the real deal - made in France with that incredible quality you expect from European cookware. At 14 1/8 inches in diameter and 4 3/4 inches tall, this beast holds a massive 12 3/4 quarts, perfect for braising large cuts of meat, making big batches of stew, or cooking for a crowd. The stainless steel body with sandwich aluminum base gives you that perfect, even heat distribution you need for consistent cooking results. What's really cool is it works on ALL heat sources - gas, electric, radiant, and even induction thanks to that metallic stainless steel disk in the base. The 'Stay Cool' handles are insulated stainless steel tubes that won't heat up during cooking, and they're perfectly watertight to prevent any bacteria from building up. The reinforced edge and smart design around the base and handles make cleaning an absolute breeze. It's got both French NF and US NSF approval, weighs about 9.5 pounds, and is built to last a lifetime. Just remember - the lid is sold separately (look for item 692036 if you need one). If you're tired of cheap cookware that warps and wears out, this French-made brazier is worth every penny for serious cooking enthusiasts!
