Le Creuset and Staub are two brands that top our reviews time and time again. Be it a grill pan or an enameled cast iron skillet, the quality and performance of cookware from Le Creuset and Staub are hard to match. That’s why we think it’s worth the investment every time, but it’s even better to score these heirloom pieces on sale. Williams Sonoma has an abundance of Le Creuset and Staub cookware on sale, with up to 47% off Dutch ovens and bakeware. Serious Eats editors chimed in (of course) on the deals they’re coveting, like this deep Staub cast iron cocotte that’s nearly 50% off.

Staub 3-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Deep Oven

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Deep Oven, 3-Qt. — Williams Sonoma

I really wish I hadn’t seen this. Now, I have to try and resist my shopper’s urge to jump on all these deals. That green, deep 3-quart Staub cocotte at nearly half off? It’s one of our favorite Dutch ovens, too. Or the same color on their covered gratin dish? Or the Le Creuset baker for a hundred bucks? I can’t see these things! Look away! Look away!! — Daniel Gritzer, editorial director

Le Creuset 2-Quart Heritage Stoneware Shallow Square Covered Baker

Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware Shallow Square Covered Baker — Williams Sonoma

Can’t you picture a batch of gooey fudge brownies in this square baking pan? I sure can, which is why I’m adding it to my cart right now. I have a feeling the Olive color is going to sell out fast at 30% off. — Rochelle Bilow, editor

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Oval Gratin with Sea Bass Embossed Lid

My dog’s name is Fish, so I feel it’s imperative I own this baking dish with sea bass on it. I have no further reason, but dog people will know this is justification enough! — Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm, associate editorial director

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Oval Dutch Oven

This Le Creuset Dutch oven is absolutely iconic. I used to have it in orange (long story about why I don’t have it anymore). I used it all the time for stews, braises, soups, and no-knead bread. While our favorite classic round Dutch oven isn’t on sale, this extra-long oval one is $175 off. I love anything in the blue-green range of colors, and Ocean is stunning. — Megan O. Steintrager, associate editorial director

Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte

I do not own these, but if someone wants to buy me a set of these adorable mini cocottes, please do! They’re so cute and perfect for single servings of mac and cheese, onion soup, or bread pudding. — Genevieve Yam, culinary editor

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Oval Gratin Baker

Do I need a gratin baker? No. Will I buy this stunning dish anyway? Absolutely. I can already envision the cheesy, baked shingles of potato bubbling away as I set it on the table to cool. — Grace Kelly, editor

I collected a lot of As Seen on TV products as a kid: Japanese knives, a rotisserie oven, veggie choppers—you name it. I would convince my parents I needed it (what can I say? I was a little different). For years, the one item I used most was a stoneware casserole dish until it cracked and finally broke apart. I was upset, but now I can replace it with this Le Creuset gratin baker. I can get it in a cute color, and it’s guaranteed to last. — Kelli Solomon, senior social media editor

Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware Baker, Set of 2

Everyone needs a great baking dish, so why not get two?! I love that these baking dishes are so cute. You can go straight from the oven to the dinner table—no serving dishes required. The little handles are not only adorable but also practical for easier grabbing. — Leah Colins, senior culinary editor

Staub 3-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Tomato Cocotte

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Tomato Cocotte, 3-Qt. — Williams Sonoma

Holy moly, I might be in love with this Staub tomato cocotte. Though summer feels miles away, the bright red color and plump sides already have me daydreaming about roasted tomato ziti in the garden. It’s made of the same durable enameled cast iron as our editor-favorite Staub Dutch oven, so you can expect the same even heat retention and distribution when cooking with this absolutely whimsical piece of cookware. — An Uong, writer
