Cast iron dutch ovens leave ancient magic in your hands when you use them to prepare food the old fashioned way — perfect for Sunday slow cooking. There is a universe of options for what you can make, and today’s Cuisinart sale on its cast iron casserole pot — which you can get in mint (my pick) or terracotta orange — will equip you with the most fundamental tool for the task. With a $70 sale price tag, you’re saving $60 on cookware that hasn’t been on sale since late last year. The pot’s cast iron is finished with durable porcelain enamel on the inside and outside, meaning it looks great both as a serving dish and in complementing your kitchen style. If you're wondering, here’s a taste of what you could’ve and should’ve been cooking all year in your cast iron dutch oven: bread whose ingredients you determine (i.e. much healthier bread than you could buy), braised short ribs to feed you for a week, and ancho turkey chili to show up folks at work. And if you’re less into the analog way of cooking, the all-digital Instant Pot Mini is on sale for $20 off.
