You know about Le Creuset’s Dutch oven — but the brand makes many versions of its iconic enameled pot. Right now, the eight-ounce cocotte (in various colors) is on sale for more than 30 percent off across multiple retailers, making it only $22. Because of the size, it’s suited for individual portions of food finished in the oven — think French onion soup, pot pie, macaroni and cheese, and cobbler and crème brûlée for dessert. (What I’m saying is: You’ll probably want to buy a few.) Still, it’s not all about presentation. The mini-version is made from the same durable material as the larger vessels and will also last a lifetime. It doesn’t cause food to stick, and it distributes heat very evenly.
