Zwilling Is Celebrating Its Birthday with Huge Discounts on Staub’s Classic Dutch Oven and More Chef-Quality Cookware

You’ve probably seen this iconic piece of kitchen gear before — in homes and restaurant kitchens alike — and for good reason. The enameled cast iron on this cocotte provides superior heat retention and distribution, but unlike the classic model, this one features a borosilicate glass lid that lets you monitor food as it cooks. Plus, there’s no seasoning required, so you can start cooking right out of the box.

Backyard cookout season is here, folks, and even if you don’t have a grill, you can still bring the flavors of BBQ cooking to your kitchen with this cast-iron grill pan. The grilling grooves drain fat away from whatever you’re searing and provide picture-perfect sear marks on steaks, filets, burgers, and veggies. And, since it’s so gorgeous, it doubles as a serving platter.

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a massive knife block full of different-sized blades to make great meals at home. While having a bunch of knives is undoubtedly cool, you really just need a sturdy chef’s knife and a good paring knife — and this 4-inch paring knife from Zwilling is tough to beat. It features an ice-hardened blade that gives the knife exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, and the comfortable handle means you’ll be able to peel, slice, and make precision cuts all day long.

If you’re a fan of vintage-style cookware, you need to pop this cast-iron frying pan into your cart ASAP. It features a beautiful wooden handle with a hanging loop so you can prominently display it in your kitchen — plus, since it’s heat-safe, you don’t have to worry about burning your hand when you grab the handle. (Been there.) The tight-fitting glass lid lets you monitor your food as it cooks, and the highly conductive cast-iron construction holds heat for a long time, so it keeps your food warm when you bring it to the table.

For everyday cooking, reach for this 8-inch aluminum nonstick frying pan. It’s good for everything from whipping up breakfast omelets and searing fish filets to making stir-fry dishes, sautéing veggies, and more. And, it’s also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup and oven-safe up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for finishing your favorite dishes. (Did someone say melted cheese?)

In terms of kitchen workhorses, one of the best pieces of cookware you can invest in is a solid, high-quality saucepan. This stainless-steel model from Zwilling comes with a tempered glass lid that seals in moisture and lets you keep a close eye on whatever you’re cooking, and the double-riveted design means you’ll never have to deal with wobbly handles down the road.

If you’re short on space and could only fit one or two pieces of cookware into your kitchen, this stainless-steel nonstick pan is one of the pieces we’d recommend. Oven-safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use this pan and its tight-fitting lid to sear, sauté, steam, bake, braise, and stir fry — and you can bring it right to the table for serving. Plus, the PFA-free ceramic nonstick coating is 50 percent longer lasting and three times more durable than Zwilling’s previous nonstick coating.

Everyone needs a big stock pot — whether it’s for shellfish boils, homemade stock, steaming tamales, or pretty much anything — and this one from Zwilling hits all our marks. The stainless-steel construction heats evenly and is built to last, and it’s compatible with all stovetops, including induction.

For indoor searing and grilling, you can’t go wrong with this affordable, easy-to-use grill pan from Ballarini. Its thick, cold-forged aluminum body makes for fast, efficient, and even heating — that means fewer burnt spots and more uniformly cooked food. Plus, you won’t have to worry about cleanup, since it has a special coating that makes food particles and burnt-on bits fall right off.

No kitchen is complete without some sort of blender, and this sleek, straightforward table blender from Ballarini definitely makes the grade. With 10 variable speeds, three preset programs, and durable stainless-steel blades, this 800-watt powerhouse will make cranking out smoothies, sauces, and salsas a breeze.
