Our editors test countless kitchen products every year, and rarely do we find design-forward pieces that actually deliver on performance. Great Jones is one of the few exceptions. The brand is known for its brightly-colored and patterned pieces—several of which have passed our rigorous tests.
From today through March 1, Great Jones is offering an exclusive 20% discount for Serious Eats readers with the code SERIOUS20. The promotion is available sitewide (excluding limited-edition items, gift cards, engraving, individual lids and pantry products), but we rounded up our three favorite products to get you started. Shop our review-winning saucier, casserole dish and loaf pan before this discount disappears.
Saucy Saucier
Why It Won Our Review
Sauciers are the perfect shape for recipes like risotto, gravy and pastry creams. Like a shorter sauce pot with rounded edges, it’s the optimal shape for repetitive motions like whisking and stirring, allowing spatulas and whisks to reach into every nook and cranny, eliminating stuck-on bits. When we reviewed sauciers, Great Jones’ Saucy impressed us with its great look and user-friendly features. It conducts heat well, heats up faster than any other model we tested and comes with a looped helper handle and easy-pour spout. We can also attest to the pot’s sturdiness: “I've owned the Great Jones saucier since 2018 and it's been phenomenal,” says senior commerce editor Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm.

Hot Dish
Why It Won Our Review
After going in search of the best casserole dishes—and baking 12 pounds of mac and cheese along the way—Great Jones’ came out as one of our favorites thanks to its fun retro look and impressive performance. The ceramic pan is incredibly versatile, and with a 4-quart capacity, it can handle larger batches of lasagnas, brownies and everything in between. We loved its spacious handles and long-lasting durability. In fact, Riddley has owned her hot dish for four years and says it still looks as good as new.
The dish comes in pink, yellow, green and blue, all of which would look great on any dinner table or kitchen countertop. It’s an item you’ll find yourself reaching for on a daily basis, which is why you’ll love that it’s dishwasher-safe and easy to hand-wash.

Breadwinner
Why It Won Our Review
When we tested 10 loaf pans, the breadwinner was, well, one of the breadwinners. It performed as well as our other winners while adding a bright pop of color to the kitchen. “The bright pink Great Jones loaf pan brings me immense joy,” Riddley says. It’s made of nonstick aluminized steel and features sharp, squared-off corners to create breads with crisp-looking edges that don’t stick to the pan. In our tests, the breadwinner cooked food evenly and resulted in tall, well-risen loaves of sandwich bread, banana bread and lemon loaves.
