Celebrated right when the weather calls for a little retail therapy, President's Day is a holiday ripe with sales that have absolutely nothing to do with the legacy of our forefathers. Such is life. Today through early next week is your chance to grab a few fabulous pots, pans, and other multi-functional kitchen products for the final push through winter. Read on for the best things to buy—why not honor the original George W. with a colorful Dutch oven?
One Kings Lane
All weekend long, save 20 percent site-wide, some exclusions will apply.
Staub 7 Quart Oval Cocotte
Aside from the fact that this Dutch oven is quite good-looking, the classic piece is essential for all sorts of hearty, one-pot meals — think stews, roasts, and braises. Easily transitioning from the stovetop to the oven and back again, they even work well for deep-frying and baking. I hear short rib stew and cornbread calling my name.
BUY IT: Staub 7 Quart Oval Cocotte, $350 (originally $500)
Staub Petite French Oven
Similar to the oval cocotte above, this personal-sized dish is strong, mighty, and with the Chistera drop-structure lid, ensures even cooking. We're a fan of small pot sensations, especially if you're cooking for one.
BUY IT: Staub Petite French Oven, $100-$150 (originally $100-$200)
Sur La Table
Until February 19, save up to 65 percent on a variety of kitchen items.
Nordic Ware Bundt Pan
Ever since I saw this Hot Cocoa Cake, I want nothing more than to eat a copious amount of baked goods from a Bundt pan. Aside from being versatile, Bundt pans are beautiful and functional—those grooves on the side make slicing easier. This classic shape is perfect for so many experiments and flavors.
BUY IT: Nordic Ware Bundt Pan, $10.36 (originally $13)
Instant Pot Ultra
At this point, I don't think I need to get into all the functions of the Instant Pot—more than a few people are obsessed and even Mark Bittman is getting into the game. Here's a good opportunity to get the Ultra.
BUY IT: Instant Pot Ultra, $119.95 to $179.95 (originally $360)
Wüsthof Classic Ikon Chef’s Knife
An 8-inch chef's knife is an absolute kitchen must-have—the large, versatile blade works for almost any prep. The design and quality of a Wüsthof knife makes it one to grab when the price is right.
BUY IT: Wüsthof Classic Ikon Chef’s Knife (8-inch), $169.95 (originally $212)
Wayfair
Until February 21, save up to 70 percent on cookware.
Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dish
We could write a dozen love letters to Le Creuset. There's a size, color, and shape for every occasion. I'd recommend breaking in this square stoneware with brownies.
BUY IT: Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dish, $49.95 (originally $70)
Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet
Lodge is known for making an affordable and insanely functionabl cast-iron skillet, one we've tested for before. Just make sure you're taking care of your cookware and start making everything in one.
BUY IT: 10" or 12" Cast-Iron Skillet by Lodge, $25
Moccamaster KBG Coffee Brewer
When you just can't find the energy to grind and weigh and pour and wait, the drip coffee maker is a savior. Out of more than a dozen machines we tested, this one was one of our three favorites, and the most luxe of all.
BUY IT: Moccamaster KBG Coffee Brewer, $309 (originally $339)
Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker
After I recently made these crispy, chocolate waffle delights, I wanted to make waffles part of my regular breakfast rotation. Then I decided I should make them for dinner, too, and I should just keep a waffle maker on the counter indefinitely.
BUY IT: Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker, $26.95 (originally $30.99)
Cuisinart 8-Cup Food Processor
Did you know an easy way to become a supreme at-home baker is by way of the food processor? Anna Stockwell uses one to make pie dough, cookies, and mouth-watering cakes. Even if you'd rather stick to pesto, this is a great deal.
BUY IT: Cuisinart 8-Cup Food Processor, $83.40 (originally $194.36)
Macy’s
Until February 19, save on kitchen appliances with various deals and discounts.
KitchenAid Classic Plus Stand Mixer
Since the KitchenAid mixer is made for much for than mixing, the high price point can be reasoned. An even better argument for getting one? Pastry chef, author and blogger David Lebovitz has been using the same mixer for 15 years, and I'm pretty sure he's using it more than the average home baker.
BUY IT: KitchenAid 4.5 Qt. Classic Plus Stand Mixer, $259.99 (originally $374.99)
Breville Sous Chef Food Processor
We've referred to this as "the Cadillac of food processors" because it chops, slices, shreds, mixes, peels, and dices. After watching too many episodes of "Top Chef," I like to call it the "Mise en place Machine"—it's such a great tool for prepping all your vegetables with uniformity and ease.
BUY IT: Breville BFP800XL Sous Chef Food Processor, $399.99 (originally $579)
Target
Until February 19, save up to 30 percent off all home items with the code GEORGE.
Pyrex Glass Storage Set
One of the best uses for these glass containers is batch cooking. With meal prep, freezing, and potlucks too, it's nice having eco-friendly dishware that holds up, is see-through, and makes life a little easier.
BUY IT: Pyrex 18pc Glass Storage Set, $25.50 (originally $29.99)
Crock-Pot 6 Qt. Programmable Cook & Carry™ Slow Cooker
If you've forgiven the Crock-Pot, then you know these slow cookers are such game changers. From mains to sides and even desserts, I like to scent my home with cinnamon oatmeal or peach upside-down cake versus a fancy candle. This Crock-Pot even has a locking lid for safe portability.
BUY IT: Crock-Pot 6 Qt. Programmable Cook & Carry™ Slow Cooker, $39.99 (originally $49.99)
Houzz
Until February 28, select kitchen essentials are up to 80 percent off.
Breville IQ Kettle
This smart kettle knows more than I do about the ideal water temperature for coffee and different teas. Definitely something to add to your list of must-haves for any tea enthusiast and a helpful aid in brewing the prefect cup.
BUY IT: Breville IQ Kettle, $149.95 (originally $229.95)
Breville BOV800XL Smart 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven
After moving into to a closet-sized apartment, I've become highly aware of how to maximize my counter space and find multitasking appliances. Enter the toaster oven. Nearly anything you can cook in a convection oven can be reconfigured for the toaster oven. From pizza to roast chicken to fancy toasts, my mind is blown. Plus, this advanced Breville option helps with cooking refinement.
BUY IT: Breville BOV800XL Smart 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven, $249.95 (originally $380)
Victoria 4-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven With Lid
One of my favorite ways to use these heavy, wide lidded pots is baking bread. A nice, rustic round loaf would fit snuggly in this cast iron piece. It's reasonably priced, has a lifetime warranty, and has me dreaming of making chili.
BUY IT: Victoria 4-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven With Lid, $41.99 (originally $59)
Home Depot
Until February 28, select appliances are up to 35 percent off.
Magic Chef 1.6 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave in Stainless Steel
Microwaves aren't usually regarded with high esteem. Yet, there are many surprisingly delicious and elevated foods to be made in this appliance, even if it's just some perfectly toasted nuts.
BUY IT: Magic Chef 1.6 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave in Stainless Steel, $99.88 (originally $149)
Jet
Select home appliances are up to 35 percent off.
Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker
The Bodum Chambord 8-cup French press is 20 percent off at Jet this weekend. Even if you don't subscribe to the French press method for your morning coffee, the carafe is essentially just a very fine strainer, which means you can use it to rinse grains, make broth, and squeeze excess water from zucchini noodles and other vegetables that soak up moisture.
BUY IT: Bodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker, 8-cup, $69.60 (originally $87)
OXO 2 Slice Motorized Toaster
Toaster ovens aren't for everyone, but compact two-slice toasters are if you ever wake up and want a crispy, peanut buttery piece of bread (like, every day?). This one from OXO gives you more control into how browned your toast gets thanks to nine different settings and an LED countdown. Plus, its cord hides on the bottom, making it easy to store.
BUY IT: OXO 2 Slice Motorized Toaster, $69 (originally $100)
