Use an oven-safe braising pan (no rubber/Teflon parts) for long braises and oven finishing
Pick a braising pan that can stay on heat a long time and go into the oven because it has no rubber or Teflon components.
The instructor describes a braising pan with straight sides and two handles, meant for long heat exposure. She notes it can go in the oven specifically because it lacks rubber/Teflon parts.
The short version
- Avoid heat-sensitive materials if you want to transfer the pan to the oven
- Two handles help with control
Why it works
Oven-safe construction prevents damage or off-gassing from heat-sensitive materials and allows seamless stovetop-to-oven cooking.
