Cooking the Easter Meal? Here's the Cookware You'll Want to Have on Hand

If your nonstick cookware has seen better days, now's the time to replace it. (Not just for looks — it's crucial to replace flaking or otherwise damaged coatings.) Currently $80 off, this Ninja Foodi NeverStick Premium Hard-Anodized 10-Piece Cookware Set ($250, originally $330) contains everything you need to stir, sauté, and simmer your way to a delicious Easter meal. If you're not familiar with the Ninja nonstick coating, know this: it's created at temperatures up to 30,000°F, while traditional nonstick pans are created at a maximum temperature of 900°F. That makes the Ninja coating more durable and long-wearing — and the heavy-gauge aluminum base helps food cook more evenly, too.

Fancy a Dutch baby pancake, crepes, or an omelet with your Easter brunch? A cast-iron skillet can do that and so much more. "Sounds nice," you might be thinking, "but I don't have time to season a brand-new pan." Oh, but with this Our Table 12-Inch Preseasoned Cast Iron Skillet ($27), you don't need to do it. It's preseasoned, so all you need to do is get cooking.

A Dutch oven is one of those kitchen items you'll use all the time, holiday or not. You can use it on the stovetop, in the oven, and even as a colorful accent on the table. So what makes this Our Table 6 qt. Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven ($64, originally $75) the one to buy, you ask? Well, it's made to last forever, it's available in eight enamel colors (including this very on-trend terra cotta) and it's also very well-priced — especially now that it's 15 percent off.

The best thing about this Our Table 2-Piece Stoneware Rectangular Bakers Set ($20, originally $25) isn't that the pans have an enameled interior for easy cleaning. Nor is it their versatility, though you can definitely use them for casseroles, lasagnas, cobblers, and more. The real mind-blowing benefit of this set is that these pans, with their neutral hue and classic lines, look like you found them at some très expensive cookware shop in France. But, in actuality, they cost 20 American dollars. Can you even?!

You know what Easter foods you can make with a Ninja Foodi 8-qt. 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer ($200, originally $250)? Almost all of them. No, seriously, this clever combo cooker can do it all: hard-boiled eggs, potatoes au gratin, honey-glazed ham, bacon, stuffed mushrooms, asparagus . . . the list goes on. Aside from hollow chocolate bunnies and Peeps, this device has it all covered.

Chefs like All-Clad, and so do home cooks. This generously sized All-Clad B1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Roaster With Rack ($80, originally $100) is an example of why the brand's cookware is so popular: It's built to last, it cooks evenly, it has sturdy handles (which matters a lot if you're toting a heavy ham!), and it has a nonstick coating that lets grease just slide right off.

Sure, you could try to time your cooking perfectly so that all of your Easter dishes are piping-hot when they arrive on the table. But, real talk: You'd probably be a bundle of stress, and who needs that? Make your life easier with this Our Table 9.5 Qt. Stainless Steel Rectangular Chafing Dish ($56, originally $70), which keeps food warm. As a bonus, it allows guests to serve themselves — which simplifies your hosting duties, too.

Who doesn't love a soup filled with the fragrances and flavors of the early-spring garden? This Our Table 3 qt. Stainless Steel Covered Soup Pot ($20, originally $25) is just the right size for small batches of soup, sauces, and even steaming veggies, if you happen to be one of those rare soup-haters.

FYI, this buy-it-for-life Le Creuset 9.5-Inch Square Griddle Pan ($110, originally $168) can be used to sear, brown, and grill all kinds of foods. But between us? We're here for the perfectly cooked, crispy-edged, fluffy-like-a-cloud pancakes it delivers.

Finally, you're going to need a way to keep those leftovers fresh. This Rubbermaid Brilliance 10-Piece Glass Storage Set ($40, originally $50) is a great choice because it's glass (not plastic!) and absolutely airtight. When it's time to reheat, just flip the lid vents before you pop the container in the microwave or oven. Voila! Dinner is served again.
