Le Creuset 7.5-inch Bouillabaisse Pot
Whether you’re preparing a classic bouillabaisse, a pot of cioppino or your own homemade soup speciality, this enameled cast provides top-notch heat retention on all heat sources, even induction. The non-abrasive bottom is even safe on glass-top stoves. The skillet’s shallow sloping sides result in quick evaporation.

Mario Batali 6-quart Dutch Oven
This enameled cast iron pan is as at home prepping stocks and sauces as it is braising meat or competing in a chili cookoff. Spikes on the tight-fitting provide natural, continuous basting, and the large handles make it easy to transport from stove-to-table.
