The ‘gold standard for Dutch ovens’ is on sale for almost 40% off – NJ.com

Every day, Amazon has daily deals across all its categories, whether it’s on big tech like Apple’s AirPods or robot vacuums.

Today, we’ve spotted a fan-favorite cookware item on sale that might change your kitchen game: Le Creuset’s Enameled Cast Iron Signature Round Dutch Oven for 37% off. Act fast, though, because the deal could change at any time.

The French cookware brand’s Dutch oven is more than a triple threat. You can slow-cook, braise, roast, bake, fry and more with it.

It is a high-quality piece of cookware that typically retails for $400 — by no means cheap. With the discount, it costs $250.

Wirecutter, a popular professional product review publication, says it’s “the gold standard for Dutch ovens.”

If you’re seeking a more affordable version of the Dutch oven, there’s also this dupe right now on Amazon for a fraction of the price — the Amazon Basics Enameled Cast Iron Covered Dutch Oven.

Amazon’s dupe for the 7.3-quart size is just $63.52, a bargain compared to Le Creuset’s $440 model at a similar size.

It likely won’t live up to what you’d get from Le Creuset’s Dutch oven — no surprise given the dramatic price difference — but if you’re looking for a budget-friendly model, it’s worth a try. It has a star rating of 4.8 out of 5, with more than 28,000 customer reviews.
