What to Buy From Zwilling’s Anniversary Sale (2024)

I named Staub’s Dutch oven the very best one you can buy — not just because I love it but because the pros do too. While this particular one has some visual imperfections (“This may include discoloration, blemishes, or chips that have been enameled over,” the brand states), it’s marked down a whopping 60 percent. Performance should still be perfect, and for something that’s going to get so much love in your kitchen over time anyway, I don’t think a little wear is a big deal. There are also a handful more colors, shapes, and sizes to choose from, which you can peruse here.

If you’re into the idea of just a grill pan, this heavy-bottom one is great. The enameled cast iron gets superhot, so you get gorgeous browning, and the high ridges let the fat drip down from meat.

This is a very fun piece: a cast-iron roaster that props up a whole chicken while it’s roasting in the oven so that the bottom gets just as evenly crispy and golden brown as the top side.

These drinking glasses are made from durable borosilicate glass so they’re very unlikely to chip or crack. They also have a double-wall construction to keep drinks at your desired temperature for longer (and to help avoid sweating), and can go in the dishwasher and the microwave.

The docking base of this electric kettle has a hidden display when powered off so that the appliance looks extra sleek sitting on your counter. There are six preset program settings for different types of coffee and tea, and it will hold your temperature for up to half an hour.

Now, onto knives. This seven-inch model is, I think, a great size — especially if you have slightly smaller hands (the most common knife size you’ll see is eight inches). It’s European style, which means the edge and tip are built for maximum control as you slice, dice, and rock it back and forth.

Or opt for this fancier model. Bob Kramer makes some of the most beautiful hand-forged knives around and has teamed up with Zwilling several times to make relatively accessible versions (even more so now that they’re on sale). I own a different one from one of their collaborations — but I have to say I think this model is particularly stunning thanks to the patterned steel and wood handle.

I always say that there are only three knives you really need to own to get done the vast majority of everyday cooking: a chef’s, a paring, and a serrated. This set has just those three — a perfectly streamlined grouping.

If you prefer a full knife block, this is a handsome one that includes the three essentials above plus a larger serrated bread knife, a five-and-a-half-inch utility knife, six steak knives, and a honing steel and kitchen shears.
