The Mauviel M'heritage 5.8 quart copper rondeau with lid and cast iron handles is a wide and shallow stew pot that's great for many different cooking methods. You can use it to sear a pot roast and then slowly braise it. The wide construction helps steam escape quickly for better searing and poaching. The inside of the pan is stainless steel so it won't react with foods or change their flavor. This rondeau from Mauviel is made in France and comes with a lifetime warranty with normal use and proper care.
