Stanley Tucci, you have impeccable taste. (Photo: Amazon)(Amazon)
Stanley Tucci might have made a name for himself starring in some of the biggest films of all time, but these days, we're loving his appearances on smaller screens — especially when food's involved. I, for one, took inspiration from his travel show Searching For Italy when planning my honeymoon, and millions of Instagram followers enjoy watching the charming cooking videos he shoots in his home kitchen. If you've seen these endearing demos, you've certainly noticed Stanley's enviable cookware collection. Lucky for us, one piece that's made several appearances — this gorgeous and sturdy Le Creuset saucepan — is currently on sale at Amazon!
While you're thinking about what to make in this saucepan first, feel free to just admire its shininess for a while.
Made of heavy-duty cast iron, this top-seller will have you braising, roasting and baking to your heart's content.
It's no surprise the actor/food enthusiast has an affinity for Le Creuset (he also has a row of their iconic Dutch ovens on full display in his kitchen). Arguably the most highly respected cookware brand on the market, their pieces are built to last — and while you can expect to pay a pretty penny for one, it's a worthy investment for home cooks who care about quality.
This glistening stainless steel saucepan is no exception, and viewers of Stanley's Instagram Reels might recognize the versatile vessel, which was featured in a mouthwatering bolognese video (check it out below and try not to drool all over your phone).
Available in three sizes (1.89 liters, 2.84 liters and 3.79 liters), its sturdy triple-layer construction includes a full aluminum core to evenly and efficiently distribute heat for more consistent cooking. Plus, it comes with a lid equipped with a steam vent to ensure your piping hot food doesn't bubble over. You can use it on any type of cooktop, and it's oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it perfect for everything from simmering sauces and soups to boiling pasta, poaching eggs and reheating leftovers.
Function and durability aside, can we also talk about how gorgeous it is? This stainless steel stunner is one pot you won't want to hide in a cabinet — it belongs front and center for all to admire. The titanium-infused exterior even helps prevent scorching and corrosion, so you can rest assured it'll look like a million bucks for many meals to come.
An endorsement from Stanley is enough for us, but he isn't the only fan of this Le Creuset beauty. One happy Amazon shopper called it a "perfect saucepan" with "even heat distribution," while another wrote: "It'll last for decades, feels good in your hands and looks as good as any other brand you might be interested in."
If we can't score an invite to a dinner party at Stanley's London home, recreating his delicious dishes in our own kitchens is the next best thing. And while owning 10 Dutch ovens might be unrealistic for most of us, having this Le Creuset saucepan simmering away on the stove is a surefire way to make cooking feel a little more luxe. It won't be on sale forever, so snag it while you can!
