It's time to bring out the slow cookers and Dutch ovens, because soup season is here. Cast iron cookware is extremely popular for concocting fall-off-the-bone meats and hearty stews, and the Staub Cast Iron Round Cocotte that's $189 off during Cyber Week on Amazon.

Made of cast iron, the Staub cocotte pot retains and evenly distributes heat, ensuring that everything you cook is chef-worthy. And because there are no cold spots in this Dutch oven, everything inside gets cooked evenly from the inside out. It also has a black enamel interior that's perfect for browning and basting food, and reviewers love that the dark color prevents staining and confirm it is so easy to clean. Sounds like a win, win.

To buy: Staub Cast Iron Round Cocotte, $275 (originally $464) at amazon.com

Whether you're cooking an entire chicken or are roasting veggie sides, you'll pick this cocotte every time. It has a 5.5-quart capacity to hold family meals, and is versatile enough to cook over the stove (yes, even induction), or in the oven up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, any home cook will appreciate its uniquely designed lid; it has a spiked design that not only keeps heat in, but also allows condensation to drip back into the pot, delivering much-needed moisture.

And if you haven't noticed, the Staub cocotte has a beautiful enamel exterior that looks like decor on your stovetop. It's no wonder shoppers love to serve food straight from the pot. You can get it in several colors, including red, burnt orange, and white. Its durable design is another reason why people pass their cocotte down to their children (and their children's children, too).

"Every cook needs one of these!" wrote one Amazon shopper. "Buy one for your mom! Buy one for your wife! Buy one for your hubby that cooks… Take care of it and it will take care of you, and all those short ribs you braise. It will stand the test of time and feed your posterity and all the generations to come!"

"All I can say is this: Everything I put in this thing comes out great, period," wrote another who has owned the Staub since 2010. "Friends and family rave about the food. It even replaced the standard turkey dinner at Thanksgiving. Two reasons for choosing this brand were comments about the lid bumps and the heat proof knob on the cover. I would buy the same thing all over again. Worth every penny and will probably be a family heirloom."
