The Amazon Prime Day Early Access sale has finally arrived, and the deals are on point. So now's the time to grab gifts for the holidays, especially with inflation concerns, notes BlackFriday.com's shopping expert, Lisa Davis. We've scoured the sale and already found the best vacuum deals and the best affordable home finds, and now we've discovered an epic price on the cast iron dutch oven that has more than 30,000 five-star ratings. Just remember, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals. Here's how you can sign up for a free trial, which also gives you complimentary shipping.
It’s easy to understand the cult of Dutch ovens. This cast-iron workhorse was everyone’s kitchen obsession way before the Instant Pot was even invented—and you can score this heavy-duty 6-quart Dutch oven on Amazon for as little as $37 right now.
The Dutch oven is the original one-pot multitasker for making soups and stews, simmering sauces, braising meat, cooking pasta, baking bread—actually, it’s hard to think of something a Dutch oven can’t do. And when you’re not using this candy-colored gem, it just sits there making your kitchen look prettier. What’s not to love?
I know what you’re thinking. You don’t have hundreds of bucks to burn on a brand-name pot. Well, today’s your lucky day, because according to thousands of shoppers, this unbelievably affordable AmazonBasics model is a game-changer.
“This is my first cast iron Dutch oven and [I’m] amazed how wonderful braised meats turn out. I should have bought one years ago,” writes one customer who’s finally discovered the wonders of cast-iron cooking.
Another simply asks, “Where have you been all my life?,” and honestly, that’s the proper reaction to using a Dutch oven for the first time.
But don’t just listen to the newbies. Seasoned pros are hooked on this pot too. “I have purchased a total of 4 of these, since 2002,” says this repeat customer who is practically recruiting everyone they know onto the Dutch oven bandwagon. “Why? Because my dinner guests/family are so impressed with them that I find myself ‘gifting them out.’ The price is on point, the quality is stellar, and I've made some great recipes!”
“This dutch oven is the REAL DEAL!,” echoes another enthusiastic customer. “It is very well made and I know this will last the rest of my years! I made a chicken tamale pie recipe the first night I got it and it was OUTSTANDING!”
Even the professionals are weighing in. “I'm a good cook and I own a successful restaurant,” says one experienced customer who has made the Dutch oven “my new all purpose pan at home.” And this reviewer is not mincing words when it comes to high-end competitors, saying, “Other brands should be embarrassed with their pricing. There is NO reason to spend on Staub/LeCrueset.”
Believe it or not, it gets better. The thing about a Dutch oven is that, yes, it lets you churn out restaurant-quality meals potentially every night of the week if you’re creative—but even after you’re done cooking an entire dinner in one pot, cleanup is a breeze too. It’s all about the nonstick vitreous enamel finish.
Take it from this all-too-relatable reviewer, who declares, “I hate doing dishes and try to do a lot of single-pot cooking and this is the answer to my prayers! It’s so easy to wipe clean and it’s solid but not too heavy to handle.”
Buy it for the versatility. Buy it for the ease of use and cleanability. Buy it for the unbeatable price. Or simply buy it for its stunning good looks, like this Amazon shopper, who proudly displays it on their stove “even when not in use as it seems to warm up my kitchen and make it look like I actually cook often!”
