Staub 3-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Deep Oven
Williams Sonoma
Staub makes one of our favorite Dutch ovens, and this 3-quart deep version is a steal at 50% off. It has the same durable cast iron construction as the one we love, with a dark enameled interior that resists chipping and staining. Staub cast iron sears well, heats uniformly, and cleans up without a hitch.

Williams Sonoma
This Le Creuset oval Dutch oven is ideal for your grandest of meals, like a Biryani-style whole roast chicken. Its spacious 8-quart capacity fits enough food to feed a large group of people.

Le Creuset Round Straight Wall Ramekin, Set of 2
Williams Sonoma
Every kitchen needs a set of stoneware ramekins. They’re great for serving snacks or baking individual chocolate soufflés. We loved that the inset bottoms on these Le Creuset ones allow them to stack neatly (no more toppling towers). They cook food thoroughly and clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher.
