Dutch ovens are a staple in the kitchen for many reasons — they’re great to bake a loaf of bread in, ideal for braising a roast and perfect for simmering soup. When we tested top-performers, we found Staub’s cast iron cocotte to be equally as pleasing aesthetically as it was culinarily — and Sur La Table customers must agree. This pan, but in the round, 4-quart size, is the retailer's best-selling pan ever. And, if that doesn’t make this kitchen workhorse enticing enough, it’s currently 75% off.

This French cocotte is versatile. We found that it beautifully seared roast before braising. The innovative lid is designed with self-basting spikes, which the company claims distributes juices during the cooking process and keeps food tender and flavorful. (While we enjoyed this Dutch oven, we did find the lid to be a little heavy for this reason.)

Nearly 300 five-star reviews praise this pot for its quality, versatility, easy care and beautiful design. Shoppers say that the 4-quart size is perfect for making meals for two, or preparing hearty side dishes for a larger group. One Sur La Table customer writes that she uses her Staub cocotte as, "A slow cooker for vegetable stew, slightly frying and browning onions and veggies on the stovetop before transferring to the oven. I also bake bread in this pot (covered, in the oven) and it turns out gorgeous loaves. If you love to cook, you will love this pot."

Another shopper writes that he loves his Staub cocotte for low and slow cooking. "No burning, no scorching, and cleanup is almost effortless. From ham and beans to chicken and dumplings, this cocotte is the perfect size for making soups, stews, chili, and chowders."

Made in France, this cocotte is dishwasher-safe, oven-safe to 500 degrees fahrenheit, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. And, right now, it's 75% off at Sur La Table. This pot usually sells for $414, but right now, you can snag it for under $100 plus free shipping. Choose from four classic colors (Black, Cherry, Turquoise and White) and get ready to add a touch of French style to your stovetop.
