This Versatile Le Creuset Pan Will Be the MVP of Your Kitchen — and It’s 40 Percent Off Right Now

There’s no question that Le Creuset puts out some of the most reliable cookware you can add to your kitchen. With so many amazing picks from the French manufacturer — like long-lasting baking pans, the buzzy new Harry Potter-themed collection, and of course, the classic round Dutch oven (now available in a chic chambray shade) — it’s a mainstay for any home cook or baker who wants a high-quality kitchen setup. And now, one of their most versatile pans, the Le Creuset Sauteuse, is on sale at Sur La Table for almost half off its normal price. Sounds like it’s time to snag one for yourself and one for someone on your holiday gift list, don’t you think?

This versatile sauteuse pan bears the famous Le Creuset enameled cast iron design, giving it the superb ability to distribute heat evenly. Similar to a Dutch oven, it’s capable of searing, sautéing, braising, and frying, but because of its wide base, it’s also perfect for simmering soups and reducing sauces.

Although its sides aren’t as tall as a Dutch oven, its 3.5-quart size ensures that you can still use it for whipping up stews and soups. And because it’s oven safe, feel free to pop it in straight from the stove. (Plus, since you’ll probably use it almost daily this winter to cook up your favorite cozy meals and one-pot dinners, you won’t have to worry about storage for a while!)

What makes this pan an especially great buy is the high quality you can always expect from Le Creuset. And at this low price, now’s the perfect time to treat yourself and someone special on your list to the gift of great cooking for years to come.
