A Dutch oven is undeniably one of the hardest working pieces in your kitchen. It’s a stovetop pot, a piece of bakeware, and serveware, all in one. It can feed groups large and small, and some particularly beautiful ones can even double as decor. Le Creuset is the name behind what is arguably the most beloved Dutch oven of all time, but its beauty and quality come at a steep premium — unless you happen to catch a great deal.
Fortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening right now at Crate & Barrel. The popular home retailer teamed up with Le Creuset to create exclusive colors of the gorgeous enameled cast iron cookware we’ve all come to know and love. And the most popular piece of all, the 8-quart Dutch oven, is on sale right now for $300, saving you an impressive $175 off its original price.
Le Creuset’s enameled cast iron Dutch oven is a fan-favorite for good reason. It’s made from the highest quality cast iron with an enamel finish and adorned with a stainless steel lid knob. It’s resistant to dulling, staining, cracking, and chipping, but what it’s best known for is its impeccable heat retention and for distributing heat evenly. Plus, it’s oven-safe up to 500°F.
Made in France, Le Creuset’s Dutch ovens are truly a stunning addition to any kitchen, and the Crate & Barrel exclusive colorways are particularly special. Thyme green, cream, chambray, deep nuit blue and deep graphite are all included in the sale.
Most seasoned cooks and kitchen experts would agree that no kitchen is complete without a Dutch oven, and Le Creuset is the best of the best. If you’ve been thinking about investing in a Dutch oven that will last a lifetime, there’s no time like the present.
