If You Only Buy One Le Creuset Piece, Make It This One – It’s $170 Off Right Now
If you have been waiting to invest in heritage, now is the time
As a Cookware Editor, I can safely say that few brands do it quite like Le Creuset. The heritage label has built its reputation on heirloom-quality cookware that performs beautifully – but at a similarly premium price point.
So, while hunting through the best Memorial Day deals, spotting the Le Creuset Signature Deep Dutch Oven at Williams Sonoma marked down by $170 felt like striking gold.
With every standout shade included – including one of the newest colors, Forêt – and prices dipping below $290, it is one of the best opportunities of the season to invest in one of the best Dutch ovens.
All prices correct at time of publication.
With almost every color available, the 6.5-quart deep Dutch oven is currently at the lowest price I have ever seen it ahead of Memorial Day. It is the perfect investment piece, covering the peak hosting seasons and weeknight cooking with ease.
I will admit that once upon a time, I was sceptical about whether or not Le Creuset was worth the price. However, having reviewed the Le Creuset Modern Heritage Dutch Oven (and used it most weeks since), I can assure you that it is worth every penny. With the added sale, it is arguably one of the best steals for your kitchen.
The Dutch oven stands out for three key reasons: First, and most importantly, when choosing the best cookware, the performance is unmatched. The smooth enameled cast iron is virtually non-stick, crisping and browning evenly when cooking chicken, sauteeing vegetables, or baking bread. It does it all.
An icon, the Dutch oven's silhouette is also one of the most practical yet chic ways to make a kitchen look more luxurious. Le Creuset is instantly recognizable, whether placed on the counter or the stove, with a design that feels decorative enough to leave on display rather than tucking it away in kitchen storage.
The deep Dutch oven is perfect for the peak summer hosting season, and transfers beautifully into fall.
Finally, while some of the best non-toxic cookware is designed to last for years, Le Creuset is widely recognised for its decades-long durability, an investment piece that can be passed down through generations, even with regular use.
While the upfront cost can feel significant, the longevity offsets the initial spend, as fewer replacements are needed compared with standard cookware. With a $170 discount, the value is undeniable, making it an especially good moment to invest in a piece built for both performance and permanence.
What Else to Shop
Any Le Creuset pot is a big investment. Having used my own for several months, I have established some must-haves for maintaining the fabulous pot and enamelled interior, making cleaning and caring for cookware a breeze. These are my top picks, and an affordable alternative for those looking to save a little more.
These felt pan protectors can be cut to size and laid in your pan bases to prevent damage to the delicate non-stick ceramic.
Cast iron gets hot and stays hot, so to avoid damaging your counter while serving, I suggest some trivets. These wooden trivets help air circulate and allow the pot to cool more quickly after use for easy cleaning.
Heat-resistant silicone that withstands temperatures up to 550°F and a comfortable terry interior, the 15” mitt provides exceptional coverage when transferring hot pots and pans to and from the oven.
Wooden utensils are my go-to for avoiding damage on my cookware. They do not scratch delicate enamel, and look great in a utensil crock on a countertop.
These rim clips for Le Creuset pans help to protect the rims and lids from damage in storage, specially if you store the lids upside down.
Made from enameled cast iron, this affordable Dutch oven is suitable for use on all stove types, including induction. It also comes with a 15-year limited warranty. I tried it against the Le Creuset and was surprised by just how perfectly it performed.
