Le Creuset 8-Piece Ultimate Cookware Set, Cherry, for 43% off: 399.99 ($705 list).
Someone I know was just talking about buying a dutch oven (or French Oven, if you’re Le Creuset) as a gift and asked if I’d ever heard of this brand.  I started cooking with Le Creuset many, many, weeks ago (thought I was gonna say years?)  She was looking at Dutch Ovens for over $100 – here’s a complete set of eight for $399.99!  Enameled cast iron is incredible for slow cooking stews and braising meats.  Once the heat is turned off the food continues to cook, saving energy and no worries about leaving things plugged in while you’re away.
