braiser
Lidded cooking pan
A braiser is a wide, shallow cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, designed for braising—browning meat at high heat, then simmering slowly in liquid.
The broad bottom provides surface area for searing, while the low sides allow moisture to circulate without escaping: I seared the short ribs in the braiser before adding wine and stock.
