Black Friday sales on Dutch ovens are up to 63% off. You can shop Le Creuset Dutch ovens, Staub Dutch ovens, Lodge Dutch ovens, and more. Prices start as low as $45.

The Lancaster 5-quart Dutch Oven regularly costs $299, and is available on the company's site. That's $120 less than the regular price of a similar-size enamel Le Creuset Dutch Oven, though it should be noted that this model is currently just $329. However, Lodge sells a six-quart enameled cast iron Dutch Oven for just $79 on Amazon.

And while I would happily co-sign on such investment pieces of cookware at full price — trust me, your descendants will duke it out over that prized Dutch oven one day — I also don’t think that you should have to pick between a martini-blessed night out at Peter Luger with your friends,
