10 Kitchen Essentials from Sur La Table's Anniversary Sale

Dream kitchens come in many forms. In an AD Open Door video, you might watch the celeb-of-the-moment float through their 4,000-square-foot kitchen with wine fridge, pizza oven, and hand-painted ceramic tiles above the eight-burner stove, and think, That seems nice. You also might eye your friend's new eight-cup coffee maker and think, If I had that, I'd have it all. Someplace in the middle is where Sur La Table's inventory lands. You know, stuff nice enough to give you pause before buying it full price, but still within the realm of possibility to own yourself. A Le Creuset Dutch oven. A Global chef's knife. An Illy espresso maker. You know the vibe.

Once a year, Sur La Table holds an anniversary sale that takes up to 40 percent off a bunch of cooking supplies and kitchenware from brands you've had an eye on all year. Especially in a year when your kitchen's seen more use than you ever expected it would. (This is the year you're actually interested in the many methods of Dutch oven mastery!) Conveniently, the sale falls at the beginning of cool-weather season, when it won't feel so disgusting to turn on your oven, or so extravagant to buy a cookbook solely dedicated to soups. Until October 5, a week from now, take a look at what's included. You'll dig up something nice.
