Our Favorite Le Creuset Dutch Ovens and Skillets Are Up to $245 Off for Presidents Day
Le Creuset is one of those cookware brands we’ll never tire of here at Serious Eats. We’ve shouted from the rooftops about the brand’s enduring quality before, and we jump at every chance we get to share news of sales on their heirloom pieces. Right now, the brand is deeply discounted—up to $245 off—for Presidents Day across Le Creuset, Amazon, Williams Sonoma, and Nordstrom. We scoured through each website for 11 deals worth grabbing, including the best Dutch oven, enameled skillet, ceramic-coated pans, and more.
5.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
The one that started it all, this classic round Dutch oven aced all our tests, from searing pork shoulder to frying plantains. Its glossy enamel resists staining and chipping, even when we knocked it with a metal spoon. Grab it for $105 off.
Enameled Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven
This oval Dutch oven is long enough to fit a whole chicken or leg of lamb. This 8-quart one can serve up to eight people, ideal for all the soups and stews you’ll be making to get through the rest of winter. It’s also $175 off for Presidents Day.
Enameled Cast Iron Skillet
Able to reach high temperatures fairly quickly and evenly, this enameled skillet bakes golden cornbread and deeply sears steaks. It also excels at more delicate tasks, like releasing fried eggs without any sticking. Snag one on sale now and pass it down for generations of cooks to come.
Signature Sauteuse
The gently sloped sides on this sauteuse promote smooth stirring for creamy risottos (lots of stirring!) or ragù bolognese (more stirring!) while the cast iron provides uniform heating for your foods. At $150 off, it’s worth grabbing for all your upcoming saucy kitchen projects.
Signature Oval Baker
While all of Le Creuset’s cast iron cookware is eye-pleasing enough to go straight from stovetop to tabletop, this oval baker is an especially elegant vessel for your eggplant lasagnas and chicken pot pies. Regardless of the sticky, messy recipes you cook in it, the interior enamel ensures quick cleanup every time.
Traditional Heart Cocotte
While we value function over form here at Serious Eats, it’s impossible to ignore this mood-boosting, heart-shaped cocotte that combines a clever design with practical use. Beyond just Valentine’s Day, this Dutch oven can churn out crusty loaves of bread and tender beef braises made with love year-round.
Essential Nonstick Ceramic 2-Piece Fry Pan Set
Le Creuset’s ceramic-coated nonstick pans are some of our favorites thanks to their super slick cooking surface that withstands daily use. Eggs, crepes, and omelets all release without a hitch from these pans, and $160 for a 2-piece set is practically a steal.
Signature Enameled Cast Iron 5-Piece Cookware Set
Two of our favorite Le Creuset pieces, the Dutch oven and enameled skillet, come in this 5-piece set that also includes a 1.75-quart saucepan. If you’re just starting to build out your cast iron collection, this $245-off set may be worth snagging.
Mini Round Baking Dish
Now just $22, this ceramic baking dish is useful for single servings of baked oatmeal or chocolate lava cakes. The stoneware cooks food thoroughly and the glossy glaze makes for quick cleanup. It also come with a lid to keep food hot and contained.
Set of Four 14-Ounce Stoneware Mugs
These stoneware mugs have flared lips for smooth sipping and a ceramic construction that keeps your morning cup of coffee warm. You can grab a set of four mugs on sale for $20 off.
Demi Kettle and Two Mugs
This smaller version of the fastest stovetop kettle we tested comes with two mugs to complete your morning tea routine. In addition to being impressed by its speed, we liked that the kettle’s handle folds down so we could open the lid and fill it up quickly.
