As we're all spending more and more time cooped up at home for the sake of social distancing, many are using that time to hone in on their cooking and baking skills. Our social media feeds are even filling up with pictures of fresh loaves of bread, comforting stews and slow-cooked brisket. To jump on the bandwagon, you're going to want to use a Dutch oven for loaves of bread and perfectly-seared meats, and right now, you can get our favorite one for an amazing price.

When we tested Dutch ovens, Staub's Cast-Iron 5.5-Quart Round Cocotte came out on the top of the heap, even beating out the popular Le Creuset (yes, you read that right), since it braised meat and veggies to perfection—and thanks to the $50 off $200 sale going on right now at Saks Fifth Avenue, you can get it under $200 for the first time ever. Normally retailing for $259.99 to $279.99 and on sale for $207.99 to $223.99 depending on your color of choice, you can use code HAPPYSF to drop it to as low as $157.99 through tonight, April 25, only. What's more, you can stack code FREESHIP to get free it shipped for free.

So what makes the Staub so superior? This cocotte aced every test we threw at it, from braising meat and sautéing vegetables to baking loaves of bread. Its winning feature, however, is its shape, which fits much better on the stove, so you can actually use the other burners at the same time.

Our cooking editor, Cassidy Olsen, is absolutely obsessed with the versatility of this kitchenware (it can be used on the stovetop and in the oven), and she's found herself using hers to make everything from mulled wine to curries to shakshuka. You can make pretty much everything in it—and it's pretty easy to clean to boot.
