Every kitchen needs reliable pots and pans. Sometimes that means investing in premium pieces that will hold up through endless oven-to-dishwasher cycles or thorough hand-washing.

Le Creuset Signature 2.75-Quart Enamel Dutch Oven

When you think of Le Creuset, the classic Dutch oven is probably what comes to mind. This 2.75-quart option is a great size for side dishes and baked goods. The brand advises a capacity of at least 1 quart per person, so if you live alone or with one other person, start here.

Le Creuset 5-Piece Mini Stoneware Cocottes & Cookbook Set

This cocotte set is a must-buy and 50% off in bright Caribbean blue. With a temperature range of -9˚F to 500˚F, everything from individual ice cream sundaes to broiled French onion soup is (literally) on the table. And if you need inspiration, the accompanying cookbook has plenty of ideas for serving up individual portions at your next dinner party.

Best Bakeware Deals

It’s no surprise that the best bakeware deals at Nordstrom are on Le Creuset pieces. The brand’s glazed stoneware is sturdy, durable, and perfect for taking dishes from oven to table. Now’s your last chance to grab a mini dish and square baking dish in Caribbean — the beautiful blue color is being retired, and many pieces are already sold out for good.

Le Creuset Heritage Rectangular Baking Dishes, Set of 3 

This set of rectangular baking dishes is a smart investment. You’ll find yourself reaching for these pieces when dredging fried items, roasting vegetables, and baking cobblers. The premium stoneware construction makes for great heat distribution, so you’ll end up with an even cook every time, and the three sizes nest to cut down on storage space when not in use.

Le Creuset Mini Round Baking Dish

This little cutie is one of our favorite items to snag when we see it on sale. It’s perfect for individual servings of chocolate lava cake, reheating leftovers, or as a stocking stuffer. It’s also an affordable way to start your collection or test out a new Le Creuset color.

Knife and silverware sets abound in Nordstrom’s sale section. Stock up on professional-grade blades, flatware for a crowd, and other useful utensils for up to 71% off. This section has some of the best discounts, but they change often — if you see something you like, snap it up right away.

Cuisine::pro Kiyoshi Kei Knife Block

When we saw the discount on this statement knife set, our jaws dropped. Each of the knives is made from Japanese stainless steel and features full tang construction, meaning it has increased control and durability because the blade extends all the way through the handle instead of ending where the handle begins. The angled, magnetic block is made from gorgeous acacia wood and is clearly meant to be admired. 

Le Creuset Craft Series Utensil Set

You can never have too many spatulas, especially when they’re as nice-looking as these Le Creuset ones. This set comes with three silicone spatulas with different heads (use them for scooping, scraping, and mixing) plus a silicone basting brush and a matching stoneware crock. To clean, simply remove the utensil heads from the wooden handles and pop the heads in the dishwasher.

Hydro Flask 28-Ounce All Around Travel Tumbler

What’s better than a trendy tumbler? A trendy tumbler in an exclusive color. This bright blue can only be found at Nordstrom and makes this Hydro Flask that much better. The BPA-free, stainless steel cup features the best of both worlds: a flexible straw and a leak-resistant lid. The 28-ounce double-wall-insulated tumbler fits in most cupholders and is not just great for water but also for smoothies, fresh juices, and any of your other comfort beverages you want to keep cold.

Marimekko Oiva Stoneware French Press

Start your morning in style with this Scandi-chic French press in pink. The mesh filter makes it easy to get maximum flavor from your favorite coffee grounds or loose-leaf tea with minimum effort. It brews around four cups, so you’ll have enough to share (or not, we don’t judge).

Piecework Puzzles Set of 4 Hor d’Oeuvres Cocktail Napkins

These cocktail napkins are so cute, we’d pay full price. Luckily, we (and you!) don’t have to. The linen renditions of trendy items like sardines, oysters, and olives will have your friends asking where you got the set. They’re almost too nice to use, but we believe making a mess is the true sign of a night well-spent.

Le Creuset 16-Piece Dinnerware Set

Serve four in style with this Caribbean blue dinnerware set, which includes dinner plates, salad plates, soup bowls, and coffee mugs. The enameled stoneware does a great job of retaining heat, so your soup won’t get cold as the conversation heats up. Plus, the glaze is chip- and scratch-resistant and safe for use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and broiler. We’d like an invite to your next dinner party, thank you very much.
