Lodge 6-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven

To buy: $63 (originally $133) at amazon.com

The bestselling Lodge 6-quart Dutch oven has more than 5,600 perfect ratings on Amazon, thanks to the fact that it's durable and easy to clean. One shopper even wrote that it's the “same quality if not better” than more expensive brands. Because it's oven-safe up to 500°F, it can bake (it fits a loaf of bread perfectly), broil, roast, and braise. On the stove top, use it as a deep fryer, or to saute vegetables or simmer stews. Right now, it’s 53% off, so this is the perfect time to grab one for yourself.

Lodge Reversible Griddles

To buy: $35 (originally $60) at amazon.com

Lodge’s incredibly popular griddle is actually two products in one. One side is a griddle, and the other is a grill. It can be used on the stove, placed directly on the outdoor grill, or over an open campfire. The smooth side is ideal for preparing elaborate breakfasts, from pancakes to fried eggs and bacon, while the side with ridges imparts grill marks to chicken breasts, hamburgers, and steaks. These griddles have nearly 18,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. One shopper wrote that it’s become their “go-to piece of cookware,” and added that they have cooked eggs, pancakes, French toast, grilled cheese, bacon, stir fry, and salmon on it.

Le Creuset 4.5-Quart Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

To buy: $245 (originally $390) at amazon.com 

The Le Creuset Dutch oven is one of the most coveted pieces of cookware out there, and it rarely goes on sale. But right now, this one is 37% off. The round 4.5-quart version is ideal for side dishes, from baked sweet potatoes to creamy mushroom soup, but it can also fit a Cornish hen or a small loaf of bread. And the enameled finish makes it durable against chipping and denting. And when you’re done with dinner, just pop it in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.

Lodge 10.5-Inch Square Grill Pan

To buy: $22 (originally $40) at amazon.com

This bestselling Lodge square grill pan is surprisingly versatile, and it’s 45% off right now. Of course, it can sear two steaks at a time, but it can also saute, bake, and even stir-fry vegetables. It’s also a great piece of cookware for those who want to grill inside, because it can handle hamburgers and char corn on the cob. If you're planning on going camping this summer, bring it along to prepare juicy breakfast sausages and crispy strips of bacon. With more than 21,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, it's a shopper-favorite. One reviewer wrote, “My favorite steak house is going to miss me because I'll be saving a bundle and grilling more at home.” That’s the power of this Lodge grill pan.

Cuisinart 7-Quart Oval Casserole Dish

To buy: $245 (originally $390) at amazon.com

This elegant cast iron casserole dish is oven-, stove-, and broiler-safe. It’s an ideal size for braising beef, slow cooking a pot roast, baking a loaf of sourdough bread, or whipping up big batches of chicken soup. This cast iron pot is also particularly well-suited for entertaining, because it doubles as a serving dish and will look beautiful on your dining table.

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

To buy: $20 (originally $34) at amazon.com

With more than 53,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, this is one of the most loved pieces of cast iron cookware out there — and right now, it’s only $20. It arrives at your door pre-seasoned so you never have to struggle to remove food from the pan. Its near-legendary ability to retain heat makes it ideal for frying, roasting, and searing. Keeping it clean and re-seasoning with vegetable oil will help this piece last for generations, making it a worthwhile investment. One shopper wrote that this one is a “great cast iron for a cooking beginner,” because it's “easy to use, maintain and wash.”

Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press

To buy: $13 (originally $20) at amazon.com

This 2-pound grill press is great for outdoor cooking. Make smash burgers with crispy edges, grilled cheese sandwiches, and paninis directly on the grill or griddle. The wood handle is stylish and comfortable to hold, so it’s no surprise this grill press has more than 15,000 five-star ratings. One shopper wrote that it’s also the perfect tool to keep “bacon from curling.”

Mozuve 6-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

To buy: $14 (originally $20) at amazon.com

This 6-inch skillet might look like it’s too small to actually be useful, but it's much more versatile that it seems. For example, it’s perfect for cooking a couple of fried eggs or a mini frittata or pizza. It can also hold shareable portions of cornbread or baked spinach dip. And because it’s lightweight and safe to use over an open fire, it’s easy to pack for camping trips.
