One hot pot.

Beloved by professional chefs for a reason, this here Dutch oven has more than a few tricks up its sleeve. It’s like a stock pot and a frying pan all in one, since it’s built from even-heating, 5-ply stainless steel. The handles are bead-blasted, too, which means they’ll stay cool even after lots of simmering. Another thing worth noting: It’ll cook up a storm on any surface, including induction—and even hop in the oven if need be. Plus, the easy-care finish means it washes up easy and keeps its silvery shine for years. Told you it was talented.

Dreamed up by Belgian designer Stefan Schöning, this dynamo Dutch oven is a treat to cook with, made for industrial-grade demands while nimbly going from stove to oven, too. Now, let's get that show on the stove:

• A coconut-y jammy stew crowd pleaser
• An eye-popping braised onion pasta
• A chicken stew that goes and goes all year
• Melt-in-your-mouth braised short rib tacos
