Signature Oval Dutch Oven
Le Creuset
Le Creuset’s classic Dutch oven can cook pulled pork to tender perfection and gently stew beans over hours.

Essential Nonstick Ceramic 2-Piece Fry Pan Set
Le Creuset
If it’s impossible for you to part with the idea of nonstick pans, we recommend ceramic-coated ones for frying eggs or making crepes. Le Creuset’s ceramic skillet makes fluffy omelets and releases eggs without a hitch. It also churns out uniformly cooked crepes and is comfortable to handle on the stovetop. You can grab a 2-piece set on sale for nearly $60 off.

Le Creuset’s stainless steel pan was a top performer in our tests. An all-rounder that sears chicken just as easily as it releases a delicate crepe, this skillet is responsive to heat changes and comfortable to handle. Normally pricey, this set of two is $82 off.

London Espresso Mugs, Set of 6
Le Creuset
Suitable for single or double shots, our favorite espresso mug has a thin rim that’s pleasant to sip from. It also pours espresso smoothly if you’re making a cappuccino or latte. Plus, we liked that the ceramic material maintains heat well.

Classic Whistling Kettle
Le Creuset
This speedy kettle was among the fastest to boil water when we tested 10 stovetop kettles. It was 30 seconds faster than the competition when boiling 0.75 quarts of water and tied for first when boiling 1.5 quarts. We especially liked that the handle is comfortable to hold and the spout doesn’t splash while pouring.

Le Creuset
The pieces in this set are “substantial, yet lightweight,” according to our review of dinnerware sets. We tested the Lapis color and appreciated its slight ombré hue. Associate editorial director, Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm, owns the mugs from this set and says they “still look new” after years of use.
