Le Creuset 7.25-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Le Creuset’s Dutch oven has been our favorite for many years thanks to its impeccably even heat retention and distribution. It produces fall-apart pork shoulder and crispy fried plantains. No matter what we cooked in it during our tests, the light enamel interior proved durable and easy to clean. Grab it while it’s $130 off.
Le Creuset 10.25-Inch Enameled Cast Iron Skillet
This enameled cast iron skillet is lightweight, heats quickly, and cooks evenly. Skillet cornbread comes out perfectly baked and steaks are seared to perfection, while eggs slide across the surface and release without any trouble. It’s a piece of cookware that will last ages, and now it’s on sale for under $190 off.
Staub Cast Iron 5.5-Quart Round Cocotte
One of our other favorite Dutch ovens, this Staub cocotte sears incredibly well and cleans up quickly. The matte black enamel interior is impossible to stain and the cast iron maintains even heating for perfectly cooked foods.
Staub 3.5-Quart Braiser With Glass Lid
This wide, shallow braiser is ideal for meatballs and coq au vin. The strong enamel stood up to our durability tests and meatballs cooked uniformly and seared nicely. The Staub also aced our braised pork cheek test, producing tender pork.
Staub 6.25-Quart Oval Dutch Oven
For those who like a bit of space to cook, this oval Dutch oven is able to fit a whole chicken for roasting. Made with the same cast iron as our other Staub picks, the oval oven comes with a tight-fitting lid that traps moisture to ensure a tender and moist finished product.
Le Creuset 8-Inch Toughened Nonstick Pro Fry Pan
The impressively slick surface on this ceramic nonstick skillet smoothly releases eggs, crepes, and omelets. The thick bottom ensures uniform heating and the coating resists scratching (even when we scraped it with a metal fish spatula). Now $30 off, it’s worth grabbing.
Staub Cast Iron Rice Pot
If you don’t eat enough rice to necessitate a rice cooker but are known to enjoy a small batch of rice from time to time, this Staub pot offers a happy medium. The 2-cup capacity is perfect for one or two people and the cast iron ensures uniform cooking throughout. The tight lid keeps moisture in to produce fluffy rice.
Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte
Who doesn’t love ramekins? Great for crème brûlée or eggs en cocotte, these Le Creuset mini bakers heat evenly and are easy to clean. Right now, they’re on sale for just $22 each.
