If you cook at all, having a Dutch oven in your collection is nonnegotiable. Some, however, are better than others — especially Le Creuset’s, which reigns supreme as the most classic version you can invest in (there’s a reason we use it as the marker to compare others on the market). And right now, its deep Dutch oven, with a slightly smaller bottom surface area and taller sides than its standard one, is marked down 34 percent, from $380 to $250.
Equal parts beautiful (pick from 18 different colors) and durable, the high-quality cast iron gives you even heat with great retention. It transfers seamlessly to the oven too, but you’ll want to keep this Dutch oven on your stove for constant use. Trust us — you’ll turn to it all season long (and beyond) for soups, stews, braises, pastas, and frying.
