Not every kitchen tool is durable enough to last a lifetime. Some, unfortunately, last only a season or two (or don’t work well enough to bother keeping around). But, as you acquire more utensils, gadgets, and pieces of cookware that are truly long-lasting, you’ll find that cooking in your kitchen becomes more efficient and enjoyable. That’s because you have every tool you need, and every tool you have actually works! One of our go-to sources for top-quality (and stylish) kitchen essentials is Staub. Their cast-iron cookware and bakeware is coated with enamel so you don’t have to season it — it’s ready to go right out of the box — and it withstands heavy use for years and years. Right now, Staub is having a big sale on some of their most coveted items, such as their signature cocotte, so you can grab some new “forever” cookware at a nice discount.

I have a kitchen confession: I’m tired of cooking. This time of year, I’m ready to throw in the towel and nibble on cold cuts for every meal. But, it’s time to get back in the swing of things. If you’re anything like me, getting a new kitchen appliance, tool, or piece of cookware instantly reignites your love of cooking. I’m not saying you should buy a new set of pots and pans every time you’re bored with your recipe Rolodex, but the occasional shiny new toy can help inspire you to whip up something delicious — all the better if it’s an upgrade that’ll help your kitchen work harder. Enter: Staub’s sale on their two-piece baking dish set.

Right now, you can score these nesting rectangular baking dishes for just $49.99. They’re regularly priced at $129, meaning you’re saving over 60 percent on a set that will last you decades. It includes two heavy-duty stoneware baking dishes: The smaller 7.5- by 6-inch dish is great for roasting asparagus or potatoes; the 10.5- by 7.5-inch dish is perfect for roasting salmon or making enchiladas. And, don’t forget dessert: You can bake brownies and cobblers to perfection with these.
I purchased this baking dish set the last time it went on sale, and I’ve used it every single week since then. The best part about Staub is that their pieces last forever. They’re made with stoneware that cooks and bakes evenly, retaining heat until your dishes are ready to serve. They have a porcelain-enamel finish that makes them scratch-resistant and easy to clean. They’re oven-safe, microwave-safe, freezer-safe, and dishwasher-safe. And, did we mention they’re stackable? They fit right into a kitchen of any size, even if you have limited storage space.
Now, to face the hardest decision you’ll make all week: Should you get the Staub two-piece baking dish set in rustic red, rustic turquoise, dark blue, or cherry?

If there’s one thing a home cook should splurge on, IMO, it’s cookware. You can trust me — I mean, I do have the creds. I used to be a pastry chef, and I’ve cooked with just about every piece of cookware out there, and believe me: Trading out sub-par pots and pans for even one high-quality piece will seriously transform your food. And, when seeking out a new piece to grace your kitchen with, there are a couple of things to look for. You’ll want to check off the boxes when it comes to heat retention and distribution, durable construction, thoughtful design, and of course, aesthetics.

While there are tons of new and innovative brands out there that we love, there’s also a reason some companies have a longstanding reputation within the world of home cooks and professional chefs alike. If we’re talking about well-deserved clout, there’s no doubt that Staub is a top player. In fact, you’ll find members of my team often referring to their own Staub pieces as the MVP of the kitchen — aka, their Most Valuable Pan. Needless to say, the time-tested, strong and sturdy, and absolutely stunning cookware is exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to splurge-worthy kitchenware. And, boy, has that sentiment never been more true than right now: Staub just launched some of their most iconic cookware pieces in a brand-spanking-new color on Williams Sonoma’s site: Lilac. (Some of which are already on sale!) Best day ever? I think so.
It’s only fitting that their versatile Deep Oven is available in the new hue. In fact, since my colleague, Vanessa Spilios, named it the “most-used piece of cookware in [her] kitchen” last year, I think it’s safe to say the entire AT team has been coveting the do-it-all piece. The Deep Oven (aka Cocotte; aka Dutch oven) is a one-of a-kind piece of cookware thanks to it’s specialized black interior (which has trace amounts of quartz for unparalleled even heating and extra grit for supreme browning and searing) and its lid’s textured interior (which captures and redistributes moisture for a succulent outcome). It’s also got a chip-, scratch-, and stain-resistant exterior that’s composed of multiple coats of the subtly speckled, virtually sparkling Lilac enamel finish. (The gorgeous essential is also discounted right now!)
There’s another staff-favorite in the Lilac lineup: the Everything Pan. Aptly named after is endless potential and multitude of uses, this workhorse is a braiser that effortlessly takes on the tasks of a skillet, fry pan, casserole dish, roasting pan, Dutch oven … need I continue? Its glass lid will allow you to keep an eye on whatever it is you’ve got cooking, ensuring no steam or moisture will escape. With a 3.5-quart capacity, it can cook holiday-sized batches of just about anything, all while its sleek, shallow body and wide handles keep it from becoming cumbersome when transporting from oven to table or when stowing it away. If it ever leaves your stovetop, that is!
Now, here’s a phrase I’ll never back down on: Everyone needs this Deep Skillet. This thing does the job of your cast-iron skillet, stainless-steel fry pan, and nonstick pan all while having tall enough sides to keep your stovetop splatter-free and a deep enough body to easily execute varied cooking projects. It’s compatible with all stovetops, dishwasher-safe, and, sure, while you could opt for a traditional red or grey hue, buying this skillet in Lilac promises to make the pan the most unique piece of cookware in your kitchen.
Besides the three fan-favorite pieces above, Williams Sonoma is also offering Staub’s 4-Piece Stackable Cookware Set, Round Dutch Oven, and Oval Gratin in the new hue. The truth is, having cookware that looks as good as it performs makes weeknight dinners, holiday prep, and hosting all the more exciting and fun. I’ve truly never seen cookware in a shade like this — and I’ve seen a lot of cookware in my day. The Lilac exterior on these pieces is whimsical yet elegant, fun yet versatile, unique yet subtle. Gifting any of the above would make someone’s entire year — and yes, the same goes for you. I mean, with some of these Lilac beauties on sale, what’s stopping you from treating yourself to an all new MVP? You deserve it.

My cooking style could probably best be described as “off the cuff” — and that’s being generous. Though I do my best to meal plan in advance, more often than not, what we have for dinner each evening is dependent on what’s currently in our fridge and how much time and/or energy we have to cook it. There’s nothing quite like the deception of shopping and meal planning while well-rested on Sunday, only to find you don’t have the stamina to whip up a three-hour pot roast on Thursday evening (I mean, duh — who does?).

Because of the flexible nature of our dinner menu, I’ve found myself relying more and more on cookware that is equally as versatile. At this point in life, if a pot, pan, or small appliance only has one use, I don’t have time for it. I’m all about pieces of cookware that pull double or even triple duty in my kitchen, allowing me to blindly grab for it five minutes before I figure out what I’m actually cooking that evening. One of the do-it-all pieces currently on my radar (and wishlist)? Staub’s Enameled Cast Iron Daily Sauté pan.
As the name implies, this beauty is basically the Goldilocks of cookware, all backed by Staub’s legendary craftsmanship and quality design. Featuring high, sloped sides that are ideal for sautéing or frying, this 3-quart pan boasts plenty of room for cooking up one-pan dinners that are a staple in our household during the week. The entire interior is coated in enameled cast iron that conducts (and retains) heat beautifully while remaining resistant to chips and cracking (and necessitating no additional seasoning!). Translation: Your meats and veggies will brown, but delicate grains or greens won’t stick or burn. The piece comes complete with a glass lid that’ll help you trap heat and moisture and allow you to easily check in on how your meal is coming.
To up the versatility of this piece even more, Staub made the whole thing compatible with all cooktops and oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Fahrenheit for the lid). So basically, whatever fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants meal you pull out of your hat for this evening, the Daily Sauté can tackle it. It even comes in a slew of pretty colors, from calming Sage and sophisticated Grenadine to classic Sapphire. The best part of all this? Williams-Sonoma is currently offering the piece at a truly epic discount, granting shoppers $100 off the original list price of $279.95, making the pan just $149.95.
If you need even more convincing (but seriously, that price!), know this: Buyers love this piece just as much as we do. It has a remarkable 4.9-star rating on Williams-Sonoma, with reviewers calling it their “daily go-to,” “a dream,” and “a total kitchen staple.” One happy buyer writes, “We now have two [of these] pans and they are both outstanding in quality and use. Cooking and baking with these pans is a joy. They distribute the heat better than any other product we have used, are solidly manufactured, and are beautiful to boot!”
Sounds like the perfect addition to your cookware collection, right? If so, you’ll want to move fast — Williams Sonoma’s generous discount only lasts through September 26, then it’s back up to full price for this beauty (which is, of course, still worth it!).
