If you’ve been putting off getting that colorful Le Creuset Dutch oven you covet because the iconic French cookware is just too pricey (lifetime guarantees don’t come cheap), we’ve got a pleasant surprise for you: Sur La Table is currently offering big discounts on Le Creuset and other brands as part of its twice-yearly cookware sale. You can get up to 60 percent off Dutch ovens, braisers, fry pans, pot sets, dishes, and more through April 15. Some items are discounted up to $100.
Here are a few of our favorites.
1. 2.75-Quart Round Dutch Oven; $150 (40 percent off)
When you think of Le Creuset cookware, this round Dutch oven is probably what comes to mind. (Aside from dollar signs, of course.) The company’s classic Dutch ovens are designed for slow cooking, stewing, and baking. They can be used for everything from coq au vin to sourdough bread to mac and cheese. The petite 2.75-quart version usually retails for $250, but it’s nearly $100 off for now. It comes in six soothing colors, including that signature Le Creuset flame red and a cool indigo.

2. Stainless Steel 5-Piece Set; $304 (24 percent off)
Get as much out of this sale as you can with this five-piece stainless steel set, which includes a 10-inch skillet, a 3-quart saucepan and lid, and a 7-quart stockpot and lid. The cookware has stay-cool handles and flared rims that won’t drip, and the self-sealing lids are designed to vent excess steam while keeping heat and moisture inside. The set usually retails for $400 but is currently almost $100 off.

3. 2.25-Quart Signature Saucepan; $120 (45 percent off)
Designed for simmering sauces, reducing stock, and making gravy, this kitchen workhorse will allow your liquids to gently bubble away without scorching or overheating, thanks to the cast iron’s even heat distribution. The typically $220 model is available in six glazes, including a classic white, Marseille blue, and cerise.

4. 7-Quart Stainless Steel Stockpot; $192 (43 percent off)
If you aren’t going to invest in a whole set of stainless steel cookware, just get the stock pot. This online-only model normally goes for $340. It’s perfect for soups, stocks, pastas, and other big-batch meals, and like the rest of Le Creuset’s stainless steel, it has handles that will stay cool to the touch and flared rims that won’t drip when you pour.

5. 5-Quart Stainless Steel Braiser; $200 (42 percent off)
Designed to turn tough meats and vegetables into tender, delicious dishes, Le Creuset’s braisers allow you to sear your food over high heat before cooking it in liquid. The wide base can handle foods in a single layer across the bottom of the pan. Then pop on the lid, which keeps steam circulating consistently throughout the cooking process, keeping in moisture (and flavor). Suggested retail price for this stainless steel model is $350, making it one of the best deals available on the site right now.

Visit the Sur La Table website for the full list of discounts, which includes plenty of enameled cast iron, stainless steel, and nonstick cookware. The sale ends April 15.
And if even the sale prices of Le Creuset originals are too high, don’t forget: There’s always the Amazon knockoff version.
