If there were to be a celebrity of Dutch oven brands, Le Creuset would be it. It's no surprise, then, that celebrities themselves flock to the brand for their slow cooking, braising, and general baking needs. Kyle MacLachlan is among the cohort who swears by the Le Creuset Enamel Cast Dutch Oven.
'I appreciate the flexibility of being able to start something on the stove and move it to the oven and vice versa,' Kyle Maclachlan explained his choice for the best Dutch oven to the Strategist in 2020. 'I remembered that Julia Child used them, and when I Googled it, it turns out that the Dutch oven was one of her favorite things. She loved the flame-colored one, which is the exact one I have.'
Fantastic timing, then, that much of Le Creuset's range is on major sale as part of Amazon Prime Day. This includes the aforementioned Dutch oven, which is discounted over $150.
From Kyle MacLachlan to Leslie Bibb, this Dutch oven is the star of many a celebrity home. It gets a great golden sear, which makes every recipe rich and flavorful. This bold shade adds a cheerful pop of 'unexpected red' to the kitchen.
Known for its durability and wide assortment of colorways, Le Creuset Dutch ovens are a coveted style accessory; in a quite literal sense, according to Leslie Bibb, who also vouched for the kitchenware to the Strategist.
'I am a cook. It’s one of my love languages,' she told them last year. 'I make homemade veggie broth and chicken broth, and I spent all last weekend making soup for Sam and me. I’m very lucky to have a nice kitchen in our apartment in New York, and I love cooking with my Le Creuset. I really treasure it. I would rather buy a piece of cookware than a purse, as corny as it sounds.'

Home cooks rave about Le Creuset's bread oven for baking crusty, pillowy homemade loaves. It's more affordable than usual in the Le Creuset Amazon sale.
The grilling days of summer may be a distant memory, but this griddle is a winner for cozy family breakfasts. Think bacon and sausages for muffins –or cheesy paninis for weekend brunches.
A braiser is a shallow, wide cast-iron pan with a lid, so it works really well for desserts. I'd use this one for a bubbling apple crisp or blackberry cobbler – as well as my classic cozy savory recipes.
