'Elegant and functional': Get $150 off the Le Creuset Signature Sauteuse — plus other incredible deals today

Beauty meets durability with the Le Creuset sauteuse — now an incredible $150 off. (Mother's Day is coming ... hint, hint.) Prepare and present sauces, stews and one-dish wonders in this gorgeous piece. A cross between a Dutch oven and a sauté pan, the sauteuse is great for sauteing, searing, braising, frying, even baking (pasta, cobblers, brownies, etc.). The enameled cast iron pot is oven- and dishwasher-safe and suitable for all cooktops, even induction. All 23 colors are on sale, including new hues like peach (pictured) and sage! 

"The sauteuse has a permanent home on my stovetop," wrote one devotee. "It is a great size — not too large, not too small — perfect for braises, sautés, stews and soups. This is my sixth Le Creuset piece, and I'm thrilled with it, as I am with all of them. Looking forward to cooking — and baking bread! — in the glorious sauteuse for many years."

"Elegant and functional," gushed another. "I'm in love. ... The shape lends itself well to stirring, and food stays hot a long time with the lid on. I often bring the sauteuse right to the table (with a trivet underneath), which makes for an impressive presentation."

Another who owns three pairs shared: "I love how comfortable these shorts are. I'm on the taller side, and the length is perfect since I prefer my shorts not to creep up too high. ... They've been my go-to shorts all summer! The pockets are roomy, which I think is a big plus since women's shorts and pants often have tiny pockets."

Reviewers are connecting with their roots and even living relatives thanks to this test. An excerpt from one of the 28,200-plus five-star Amazon reviewers: "I’m part Viking (hello, pillaging tendencies), a dash of Neanderthal (I blame my unibrow) and a sprinkle of unicorn (okay, maybe not, but a girl can dream). The best part? I’ve got roots in 2,750-plus geographic regions. That’s more places than my frequent flyer miles! ... Turns out Aunt Gertrude (the tightrope walker) is alive and well, sipping herbal tea in Tasmania. We’re practically genetic pen pals now. And that distant cousin in Peru? We’re planning a family reunion at Machu Picchu."

If you later wish to learn your Health results, you can opt in — no additional testing needed. The reviewer shared more genetic learnings: "I’m more likely to enjoy cilantro (check), have a fear of clowns (double-check), and be a night owl (triple-check — I’m writing this at 2 a.m.). Oh, and my caffeine metabolism? It’s like a Formula 1 race car—zoom, zoom!"

One relieved reviewer wrote, "I have chronic low back pain from a slipped disc and injured SI. ... Sitting is by far the most painful position for me.

The gel makes it give just enough while still staying firm and it is lightweight with a handle that makes taking it everywhere easy. And the zippered cover is a great feature that my others didn't have."
