FIREUP Braiser Pan
Introducing the FIREUP Braiser—our most versatile and innovative cast-iron pan yet.
The FIREUP Braiser Pan combines wide, shallow walls with our patented fin technology to deliver the perfect balance between searing, braising, roasting, and hob-to-oven-to-table serving.
Our Story
Tom is an engineer, product designer and serial entrepreneur who spends most of his time working on jet engines and rockets. He is an Engineering Science Professor at Oxford University. Raghav is a young entrepreneur, from a family with three generations of cookware manufacturing experience. When Tom and Raghav met, they discovered a shared passion for innovation and cooking. This is the story of how FIREUP came to be.
After thousands of happy cooks fell in love with our Dutch Oven, Skillet, and Saucepan, we returned to the lab and design table. The result is our most versatile creation yet—the FIREUP Braiser.
What’s different?
Standard cookware only heats from the bottom, resulting in inefficient heating and uneven cooking. Our fin design guides heat across the bottom and up the sides of the cookware, heating upto 44% faster and cooking more evenly. This results in more even cooking, eliminating hotspots and enhancing cooking performance for breads, stews, meats etc.
Developed by a rocket scientist, FIREUP is a great example of science meeting design. Years of laboratory testing were conducted to confirm the science behind the patented fin design. But the aim of our innovation is simple: to deliver an incredible cooking experience.

Why Braiser?
The Braiser is one of the most versatile cookware pieces a home cook can own. Its shallow, wide design ensures perfect searing, while the domed lid locks in steam and flavor for tender braises, roasts, and slow-cooked dishes.
From braising meats and vegetables to making one-pan family meals like paella, biryani, or baked pasta, the FIREUP Braiser does it all. It’s equally at home shallow frying, sautéing, or transforming into an oven-to-table showpiece for casseroles, gratins, and baked dishes. You can even use it to bake breads, pies, or cobblers — and serve them directly in style.
It’s the piece you’ll reach for more than you ever imagined.
Versatile Pan
FIREUP Braiser is the ultimate multi-purpose pan that replaces multiple pieces of cookware. Its shape is engineered for true versatility—wide enough for perfect searing, shallow enough for gratins, and deep enough to braise generous, family-sized meals.
You can bake, sauté, simmer, roast, fry and sear. The multi-functionality of cast iron allows you to create endless recipes, regardless of the cooking method.
Iconic Science-Driven Design
At the heart of the FIREUP Braiser is our patented fin technology, inspired by rocket heat exchange theory.
- Even heat distribution across all stovetops and in the oven for perfectly consistent results
- Exceptional fuel efficiency on gas hobs — saving energy for a lifetime
- Superior heat retention keeps your food warm long after it leaves the oven
- 6 cm depth makes it ideal for both deep frying and sautéing
- Signature fin design that turns every meal into a stunning table presentation
The braiser’s shape is optimised for versatility—wide enough for searing, shallow enough for gratins, and deep enough to braise family-sized meals.
Designed for Everyday Cooking
Each detail has been designed after months of testing by both chefs and home cooks. Ergonomic cast-in handles are designed for oven gloves and easy lifting.
Wide-handles for safe and balanced serving.
Tight-fitting lid with oven-safe knob retains juices and flavors.
For those who already have the FIREUP Dutch oven and skillet, your existing lid fits the braiser perfectly, so you can save precious cabinet space and money, with just one lid for two pieces of cookware. For those who (still) don’t have the Dutch oven and skillet, you can purchase them as add-ons at a discounted price, in the post-campaign survey.
Black enamel interior ischip resistant, naturally non-stick and is easy to clean along while being Dishwasher safe with no seasoning required.
Incredible Cooking Experience
The FIREUP Braiser works on all stove tops from gas to induction. Being made from cast iron you can also roast and oven-bake in it (oven safe up to 260°C/500°F). The black chip resistant enamel interior allows for high-surface-temperature cooking, perfect for browning, grilling and blackening. High-quality cast iron also gives longer heat retention, keeping your food warm as you serve directly from the stove or oven to the table.
On the stovetop, sear, sauté, or shallow fry with precision.
In the oven, braise, roast, or bake to perfection.
At the table, serve with style — the Braiser retains heat longer and keeps your food warm as you eat.
Lasts a Lifetime
Premium multi-layer toughened and chip-resistant enamel is the most reliable coating in the industry, and is used by the best brands to create products that last for generations. Our heirloom-quality Braiser is designed to last a lifetime.
Zero Maintenance
The smooth matt black enamel on the inside of the pan is naturally stain-resistant, requiring no seasoning. The enamelled surface makes this kitchen hero a zero-maintenance pan. Simply take the pan out of the box and start cooking right away. It is easy to clean by hand and is dishwasher safe. We recommend cleaning it with water and a soft brush or sponge. With proper care, your pan should last a lifetime.
Good for the planet
The FIREUP Braiser is an excellent example of sustainablecookware. Your Braiser is cast in Europe using recycled iron and hand-enamelled by artisans.
Not only does its fin design provide significant lifelong gas savings, but it also eliminates the need for buying a new pan every few years. Its recyclable iron material, lifetimedurability, zero-plastic packaging, and superior cooking efficiency, all combine to make cooking in the FIREUP Braiser good for the planet.
Design and manufacture
To take our design from the laboratory to your table, we interviewed home chefs and cast iron enthusiasts to understand what matters most when they cook. We used this information to refine the design to include easy-grip handles, a tight-fitting cast-iron lid, and a dark stain-resistant enamel surface on the interior. We also made the FIREUP Braiser the perfect size and shape for versatile cooking.
We sketched endless handle designs and spoke with both home and professional chefs to design the most comfortable to hold handle. Once we narrowed down to the final design drafts, we 3D printed each handle and tested them one by one, to arrive at our final handle design—the intersection of ergonomic and manufacturing viability.
After months of optimisation of the design, we moved on to prototyping, and manufactured prototype products that could be tested by professional chefs. The reaction was fantastic, with chefs commenting on the even cooking and superior heat retention. The design is also unique, and looks amazing when serving directly to the table.
