Skillets are an excellent place to start when it comes to cast iron. This Lodge 10.25-inch one is our favorite cast iron skillet, especially if you grab the one with the silicone hot grip, which is also on sale. It’s a versatile size at 10.25 inches — not too big for storing or too small to limit what you can make inside of it. We love the way it cooks everything, since it provides the most even browning in testing, along with the fact that it’s got a big helper handle. It comes pre-seasoned, so you can get to cooking ASAP.

For an extra big skillet, grab this 15-inch Lodge option while it’s on sale for $50. This is perfect for those large-batch casseroles, searing up proteins for larger families or parties, or baking up a big batch of cornbread to go with summer barbecues. Either way, it has the signature Lodge design, including a pre-seasoned base, just with an extra-large diameter.

And, if you’re looking for a sought-out heirloom piece well worth grabbing at a discount, you’ll want to add this Le Creuset skillet to your cart immediately. It’s 9-inches in diameter, and features the brand's classic enameled interior. Though it’s enabled for easier cooking and less maintenance, it still has that cast iron look with its matte black finish.

An additional essential cast iron piece is definitely a Dutch oven. From Lodge, to Le Creuset, to Staub, there are tons of pieces worth picking up right now.

It’s deep, comes with a sturdy lid and two side handles, plus it’s made with the enameled cast iron material that we love. It’ll offer consistent heat, all the while prevent things from sticking as you cook, roast, or bake away dishes. Just like a skillet, it can withstand high heat. Pop it into the oven up to 500℉, or use it on any stovetop. This 6-quart open is 40% off, and comes at a size that’s perfect for tons of different meals.

For a Dutch oven with some amped-up design, you’d should check out this cocotte from Staub while it’s on sale today. This ranked as our favorite Dutch oven all around after testing. We found that its overall performance matched the price point — which means now that it’s on sale, it’s well worth grabbing. It browned foods perfectly regardless of what we tested, and the brand includes helpful little spikes on the inside lid to help redistribute moisture when baking or braising. We also found it was incredibly durable in all of our tests. It’s oven safe up to 500°F with lid, and 900°F without.

There’s nothing like having a griddle in your kitchen, especially one made from cast iron. They’re ideal for keeping burgers nice and juicy, as well as for getting the right browning on pancakes or even homemade flatbreads. This $35 Lodge model does just that, with the added perk of a reversible grill side. You’ll get 16.75-by-9.5-inches of work space. And when you’re looking to sear off vegetables, like asparagus or even summer peaches, just flip the piece over to the grill side. It’s great to pop on your smoker, since you’ll still get the great smoky flavor, but nothing will fall through the grates.

To buy: Lodge 16.75-Inch Reversible Grill and Griddle, $35 (originally $60) at amazon.com

If you’re looking for a smaller reversible griddle, look no further than this discounted piece from Lodge. We found this pan climbing up the Movers and Shakers list on Amazon in weeks leading up to today. It’s already a popular favorite, with shoppers consistently stating that it’s a versatile favorite they keep going back to. Many attribute this to the fact that it holds and distributes heat evenly, plus it’s small enough to store very easily.

For a splurge-worthy item to grab this Prime Day, a cast iron grill pan from Le Creuset might just fit the bill. Not only is this pan beautiful to look at, with its colorful exterior, but it comes with an enameled coating that'll help prevent anything from sticking too much, all the while achieving perfect grill marks.
