If Tabletop Week at the Strategist has inspired you to host a get-together or improve your kitchen game, you’re in luck: Sur La Table’s Anniversary Sale is happening now through September 29. The one-stop shop for cooking goods is celebrating 52 years of business with a slew of deals, including markdowns on Dutch ovens, a ton of hosting essentials recommended by tasteful people during Tabletop Week, and a few Strategist-approved pots and pans. I did the due diligence of combing through all 44 pages of the sale and cross-referencing their contents with our archives, and then I picked out some standout deals along the way. Below, you’ll find everything worth buying during Sur La Table’s Anniversary Sale.

Coming in hot, we have our Best-in-Class Dutch oven, which typically goes for about $440 and is now down to a (relatively) reasonable $280. Our kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman has been using it for seven years and says that it secured our Best-in-Class crown because of its black rather than white interior (resulting in less staining) and comfortable grip.
With spooky season already upon us, you might like a pumpkin-shaped cocotte. I bought a tomato-shaped one at the beginning of the summer and am debating adding this to my collection.
My final pick from Staub: this set of nesting stoneware, which typically goes for about $90. As the Strategist’s best nesting baking-dish set, these baking dishes conduct heat evenly, are easy to lift, and clean up perfectly by hand and in the dishwasher.
Good news for Le Creuset loyalists: You can also find the brand’s classic Dutch oven on sale. It’s our favorite classic Dutch oven and performs comparably to the Staub in terms of build and heat conduction.
If you’re like me and can never resist the charm of a petite cocotte, you’ll be pleased to hear that Le Creuset’s are on sale.
Whether you prefer a quiche Lorraine or an apple tart, you’ll be happy to have this dish on hand for the baking and presentation.
If you’re planning to buy a Dutch oven, you’ll want to get a trivet to protect your table and counters.
These bistro plates were praised by Strategist writer Lauren Ro and Strategist senior editor Jen Trolio in our recent guide to dinner plates. They’re lightweight, durable, and easy to stack.
Over the past few months, I’ve been on a hunt for some stainless-steel scoops to keep in my flour and sugar containers. After scouring the internet and wandering into many stores with my “kind of niche request,” I think I finally found some that I like.
With hosting on the brain, I’m having a hard time resisting these heavily discounted checkered napkins.
I spotted this simple utensil crock, which would look nice in many a kitchen. It’s also dishwasher-safe if it skeeves you to think of wiping down the bottom of the crock.
Here’s our favorite saucepan for a fraction of the price. It heats up evenly and has a drip-free pouring rim, which will limit cleanup time later.
Here’s a stainless-steel skillet to match. And when it comes to stainless steel, All-Clad is the tried-and-true forever favorite in our books.
Another delightful find: our favorite affordable toaster oven–slash–air fryer. It’s complete with seven preset functions (air fry, convection bake, convection broil, bake, broil, warm, and toast) and a tray and a basket insert for even more fun.
