Recipe developer and food writerGrace Elkus, as well as recipe developerTara O’Brady, are both fans of Staub’s darker color interior — specifically for baking bread, since it helps bread get “that chestnut-brown shade, which lighter interiors aren’t able to achieve,” O’Brady says. The Staub also features a lid with concentric dimples on the bottom.Meherwan Irani, owner ofChai Paniin Asheville, North Carolina, and founder ofSpicewalla, likes that these indents promote even condensation inside the pot, saying that “when it’s in the oven for a long time, the Staub seems to keep meat particularly tender and prevents it from drying out in any spot.”

You can usually find a good deal oncookware setsat Made In, too. Senior writerEmma Wartzmanfinds this griddle pairing to be a great option for maximizing your surface area: “A large flattop like this gives me more usable space than a skillet, while the accompanying press has matching right angles so I can smash and sear all the way to the edges — not possible in a round pan,” she says. “The carbon-steel material is an excellent heat conductor that maintains high temperatures but is a bit more responsive to changes than cast iron (which takesagesto cool down), and lighter to boot.”

The brand’sbaking dishesare also quite durable and versatile. They conduct “very even heat,” according to Nicole Rucker, owner and chef ofFat + Flourin Los Angeles, who originally recommended the pieces to us. She notes that all these pieces are on the heavier side, but that “makes them feel solid.”

These four pans are made from bonded aluminum and stainless steel, and they even nest to save space in your cabinet. Ari Miller, executive chef at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT in Washington, D.C., is a fan: “They heat up nicely and function well with induction. I like the pour spout on the saucepan and the measurements for both liters and quarts etched on the inside of the pan.”
