Labor Day Weekend Sales

Serious Eats / Tyler Roeland

We’ve stood behind Le Creuset and Staub for years. The brands’ performance and durability remain unmatched in our tests for the best cast iron cookware, be it a braiser, Dutch oven, or grill pan. With Labor Day on the horizon, we couldn’t help but notice that Williams Sonoma already has eye-catching sales on some of our all-time favorites from Le Creuset and Staub, including up to 53% off skillets, cookware sets, casserole dishes, and more from $22.

The Best Le Creuset and Staub Deals, at a Glance:

Le Creuset 5.5-Quart Dutch Oven

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

Williams Sonoma

The Le Creuset Dutch oven is a workhorse that roasts, braises, bakes, and stews without ever staining—no matter what we cooked in it during our tests. For years now, we’ve recommended Le Creuset Dutch ovens for their even heating and durability, and right now, it’s $84 off.

Le Creuset 6.75-Quart Round Wide Dutch Oven 

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron Round Wide Dutch Oven

Williams Sonoma

Made with the same quality material as our favorite Dutch oven, this wider, oval-shaped option is designed to fit full chicken roasts and large batches of food. During Labor Day weekend, it’s 35% off at Williams Sonoma.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron 5-Piece Cookware Set 

Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast Iron 5-Piece Cookware Set

Williams Sonoma

This five-piece set includes our essential Le Creuset cast iron pieces like the classic Dutch oven and enameled skillet. It also comes with a 3-quart enameled saucepan for cooking rice, making sauces, or heating up leftovers.

Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte

Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte

Williams Sonoma

As the owner of a few Le Creuset mini cocottes, our commerce writer An Uong (hi, it’s me!) can’t recommend them enough. Their little handles make them easy to transport when hot and the stoneware conducts even heating for baking crème brûlée or eggs. She loves making single servings of baked oatmeal and appreciates the included lids, which make it easy to store your cocottes in the fridge.

Le Creuset 3.5-Quart Olive Branch Braiser

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Olive Branch Braiser

Williams Sonoma

The Le Creuset braiser has a wide bottom and shorter sides to promote browning for larger amounts of food or for shallow-frying chicken piccata. During our tests, Le Creuset out-braised the competition with its spacious cooking surface that evenly browned meatballs and pork cheeks. Just in time for fall, this limited edition golden braiser from the Olive Branch collection is on sale for $310

Staub 3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Everything Braiser

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Everything Braiser

Williams Sonoma

We also love this Staub braiser, which is our most durable pick. The matte black interior resists staining and the upturned handles make maneuvering it on the stove a breeze. It performed just as well as the winner at braising and sauteing, not to mention that it’s on sale for a whopping 42% off.

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan

Getting beautiful grill marks indoors is possible with the Staub, our top enameled cast iron grill pan pick. During our tests, it produced noticeable grill marks on burger patties, pork chops, grilled cheese sandwiches, and zucchini. It’s also easy to clean up thanks to its enameled coating. Select colors, including a gorgeous cranberry red, are now on sale for up to 38% off.

Staub Stoneware Rectangular Baker

Staub Stoneware Rectangular Baker

Williams Sonoma

This Staub rectangular baker is our favorite casserole dish due to its even cooking and easy-to-grab handles. The spacious dish made perfect macaroni and cheese and a beautiful flan in our tests, and we appreciate how the included lid makes it easy to transport food to potlucks or Thanksgiving dinner.
