Le Creuset
A family staple, Le Creuset pots can be used for nearly everything, and they're essential if you're making bread (see bread fave post). If ordering online, sizing can be confusing: my most-used for bread and dinners is the 3.5 qt, or #22, about 9" round × 5"h. If anything ever chips or ill-performs. Le Creuset has a lifetime warranty - sustainable! See Le Creuset (or used ones on etsy!)
