This Staub Baking Dish Set Is Perfect for Spring Cooking (and Beyond) — and It’s on Sale for $50

If you’ve ever owned a Staub pie dish, casserole dish, or a set of those cute little mini cocottes, you know Staub doesn’t make regular cookware — they make kitchen heirlooms. That’s no exaggeration, either. I have a friend who inherited a cast iron enameled cocotte (don’t you dare call it a “Dutch” oven!) that their grandmother probably bought sometime in the ’70s, and they’re still using it to make the perfect poulet en cocotte to this day. Not all of us are so lucky to have inherited quality cookware, but Staub’s current sale on their two-piece baking dish set is certainly making it a lot easier for us to acquire some kitchen heirlooms of our own.

This is a great deal, at a great time. Normally $120, the baking dish set is priced at $49.99, and we promise both dishes will quickly become your favorites for spring casseroles, cobblers, and gratins. The set includes two heavy-duty stoneware baking dishes: a 10.5″ x 7.5″ that’s big enough to handle a family-size lasagna and a 7.5″ x 6″ that’s ideal for roasting veggies, baking side dishes, or making an easy peach cobbler.

Besides the fact that they’ll last forever, Staub’s baking dishes are special because of their construction. The stoneware they’re made from makes for even cooking and retains heat well until it’s time to serve, and the porcelain-enamel finish makes them super scratch-resistant and easy to clean. These baking dishes are obviously oven-safe, but you can also use them in the microwave for reheating leftovers or in the freezer if you’re prepping a dish over the weekend to bake later in the week. And they’re stackable, which is a big plus if you’re tight on storage.

Maybe best of all, the baking dish set comes in a range of stunning colors, from Staub’s signature cherry red to a more muted turquoise to a very modern matte white. They’re all definite upgrades from glass casserole dishes (sorry, Pyrex) and would look great on an Easter table. Honestly, you might end up designing all your tablescapes around them!

We’re already dreaming about making breakfast tater tots in these baking dishes on the first warm day of spring. But really, why wait? They would also be great for a late-summer Southern-style squash casserole or a gorgeous summer vegetable gratin. In stock and ready to ship, these baking dishes will help you make the most of the dog days of summer and carry you into fall. . . and beyond!
