8 Deals We Think Are Worth Buying From Williams Sonoma’s Spring Cookware Sale, Including Staub and Le Creuset

Our most beloved brands hold top spots in our hearts for good reason. Through endless hours of frying, sautéing, braising, grilling, baking, and more, we’ve found that our favorites are high-performing and long-lasting, meaning they’ll produce a perfectly seared steak or beautifully crusted loaf of bread for decades to come. These are heirloom pieces that sometimes come with heirloom prices, but thankfully, Williams Sonoma’s Spring Cookware Event has marked down quite a few of our top picks, up to 47% off. Our editors have been eyeing the catalog and named a few standout deals that they’d snag for themselves or gift to another.

Over the years, these pieces have outperformed the competition time and time again, and they look good doing it, too. If you’ve been stashing away coffee money to invest in your own enameled Dutch oven, stainless steel pan, or cast iron skillet, you’re in luck. These items are currently on steep sale over at Williams Sonoma’s biggest sale of the season.

Le Creuset 6 3/4-Quart Enameled Round Wide Dutch Oven

“I am DEEPLY a sucker for a Le Creuset Dutch oven on sale,” says Executive Editorial Director Tess Koman, who singled out the Le Creuset Wide Dutch Oven. While the traditional Le Creuset 5.5-Quart Round Dutch Oven is our all-time tried-and-true love, the Le Creuset Wide Dutch Oven offers all the same capabilities as the round model, plus a wider cooking surface for browning foods more thoroughly before slow simmering or braising. The enamel’s light interior is also helpful to keep track of how well-done your food is. Its versatility also means you can cook on the stove-top or put it in the oven, as it’s oven-safe up to 500°F. Right now, it’s an incredible 35% off at Williams Sonoma.

Williams Sonoma Thermo-Clad Stainless Steel Braiser

We do love a multitasking piece of cookware here at Serious Eats. That’s why the Williams Sonoma Thermo-Clad Stainless Steel Braiser, currently 20% off, caught the eye of our Culinary Editor Genevieve Yam (“I love dual-purpose cookware!)” who highlighted that this braiser also doubles as a steamer with the included insert. As a braiser, it can easily go from stovetop to oven, so you can whip together weeknight baked pasta or a comforting veggie casserole. When it comes to steaming, you can put on the insert for steamed buns or pumpkin custard. Thanks to its insulated walls, it can keep your food warm at 150°F for up to 90 minutes. 

All-Clad 3-Quart Stainless Steel Saucepan

As someone who’s still somehow holding on to my hand-me-down saucepans, I’m eager to take Editorial Director Daniel Gritzer’s advice: “Always nice to grab a saucepan if you need one!” Saucepans are an unsung hero in the kitchen. From making rice to browning butter, the All-Clad 3-Quart Stainless Steel Saucepan was one of our best picks when we tested over 10 saucepans. It was heat-responsive and easy to clean, showing high performance with even the most delicate test: whipping up a batch of pastry cream. Good news, this small-but-mighty upgrade to your kitchen is 40% off right now.

Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan

While we’ve tested upwards of 42 grills across charcoal, gas, and pellet models (not to mention the portable ones), there’s always a place for the trusty grill pan in our hearts. Commerce Editor Rochelle Bilow, who lives in an apartment with no outdoor space for grilling, loves the small footprint of a grill pan that can sear and sizzle evenly without needing the firepower of a grill. In our review of grill pans, the Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan produced beautiful grill marks on all of our tests. “No, a steak cooked on a grill pan won't have that campfire-y flavor, but it will have gorgeous grill marks and an enviable crust—without the annoying cleanup,” says Rochelle. “In my book, Staub's grill pan earns extra points for its color selection (that lilac glaze!).” So if you still want to be able to have a grilling experience, but without the grill, you can grab the Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan for 36% off right now.

Staub 3.5-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Everything Braiser

It’s not every day that you’ll see a Staub Enameled Cast Iron Braiser on sale for 42% off. We’ve been long-time fans of the Staub braiser for its longevity, as it’s the most durable braiser model we’ve ever tested. A cross between a Dutch oven and a skillet, braisers offer the ability to shallow-fry, roast, sear, simmer, and more.  “The Staub braiser is one of my favorites,” says Senior Commerce Editor Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm. “Its black enameled interior looks good as new after many cooking sessions, and its upturned, wide handles are nice to hold onto.”

Le Creuset 10-Inch Enameled Cast Iron Deep Skillet

A great skillet will last forever through years of potato hashes, casseroles, and even chocolate cakes. We’ve tested dozens of cast iron skillets to find the best ones, and the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Skillet rose to the top in our review of enameled cast iron skillets for its high heat retention and even heat distribution. In our tests, it made a perfect steak, released fried eggs beautifully, and baked up a golden skillet cornbread. For the Williams Sonoma Spring Sale, it’s currently 20% off.

All-Clad 10-Inch D3 Stainless Steel Fry Pan

It’s no secret that we’re big fans of All-Clad cookware, but we realize this brand may not always be within budget. Out of all our skillet tests, the All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel Fry Pan has consistently stood with its exceptional heat conduction and durability. It’s also induction-friendly, and currently on sale with the steepest discount in Williams Sonoma’s Spring Sale, at 47% off. In our tests, the pan beautifully seared skin-on chicken, sautéed vegetables evenly, and deglazed and reduced liquid quickly.

Le Creuset Classic Whistling Kettle

If you’re a classic kettle type, the Le Creuset Classic Whistling Kettle came out as one of the fastest-boiling models when we tested stovetop kettles. It boiled water lighting fast, tying for first place at boiling 1.5 quarts of water but shooting ahead by 30 seconds when it came to .75 quarts. We also appreciated the 3/4-inch spout which made pouring hot water easy (and safe!). It comes in a lovely variety of colorways, and right now, it’s on sale at 20% off.
