What is the difference between a braiser and a sauteuse?
Jennifer D on Feb 28, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Sauteuse is a versatile shape and size for searing, braising, roasting and baking that easily goes from stove to oven to table. A braiser is used to sear meat…brown it on a stovetop. Liquid is usually added and then the braiser with the lid on, is transferred to the oven. The meat is then effectively steamed within the braiser pot as the tight-fitting lid prevents and loss of moisture.

I'm taking Apollonia Poilane's bread making class and she suggests purchasing a 12" cocotte. Since they're all listed by ounce or quart, I have no idea how deep it needs to be or if 12" translates to a standard ounce or quart size. Any suggestions?
Lisa B on Dec 29, 2020
BEST ANSWER: If not specified in the class, I would guess standard size would work. I make ciabatta bread in this sauteuse using 360g flour (3 cups) and 1 ½ cups water. There's plenty of room for that size loaf and it could handle more than that. This is my go to for so much more cooking than bread!
