It’s officially soup season. And if you’re anything like me, you’ll be making soups, hearty stews, and other cozy dishes well into the winter months. To stir up these mouth-watering meals, you’ll want to ensure you have long-lasting cookware that’s up to the task — like the Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Chef’s Oven, which is an impressive 45% off during Amazon October Prime Day.

We’re always thrilled to see Le Creuset cookware on sale, and the deals abound during Prime Big Deal Days 2024. Usually $400, this 7.5-quart pot is massively discounted down to just $221 in the color Flame, a gorgeous bring orange. (It’s also on sale in Cerise, making it a still-covetable deal at 41% off.)  The best part of this cast iron dish? No seasoning is required beforehand — so you can just take it out of the box, give it a quick hand wash, and get to cooking. 

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Chef’s Oven With Glass Lid, Flame

The chef’s oven comes with a secure, see-through glass lid that regulates steam and moisture while allowing you to keep a clear eye on your food. Its enamel resists chipping, staining, dulling, and cracking — so pretty much any wear and tear from continued use — while its successful heat retention and distribution will ensure a tasty dish, just in time for holiday recipes.

We appreciate that this dish is compatible with all cooktops and can withstand up to 500°F. However, keep in mind that the separate vented glass lid is oven- and broiler-safe up to only 425°F. And despite its larger 7.5-quart capacity, this 15.4- x 7.4-inch cast iron oven fits neatly on top of the oven or on the dining room sideboard for serving guests. (Its large side handles make it easy to transport from stove to counter to table.)

Shoppers shared that the chef’s oven “is easy to clean” and “simmers food perfectly.” One reviewer wrote that this spacious piece of cookware is ideal for “large volume leftovers and sharing,” while another fan said, “I use the pot often and am never disappointed with its performance.” For those who love their Le Creuset Dutch ovens but don’t love how heavy it is, this is a great alternative: “The glass top is lightweight and answers the one issue with Le Creuset, which is its weight,” they added.

Aside from soups and stews, you can employ this Le Creuset chef’s oven for large pasta dishes, sauces, braising various proteins, and more — the sky is really the limit. Customers claimed to have made everything from fried bacon to batched chili. Make sure to take advantage of this incredible October Prime Day deal (and more of Le Creuset’s Prime Big Deal Days offerings) before the discount disappears.
