I live in Brooklyn where I write about food subscriptions, cooking, kitchen gadgets and commerce. Anything with sesame is my all-time favorite food this week.

The kitchen cookware that sees the most action in my home is anything made of enameled cast iron. If you haven't got any, there are deep discounts on nice pieces of Cuisinart enameled cast iron at Woot. A Cuisinart 7-quart casserole is marked down 76% right now, while the 12-inch Cuisinart stovetop chicken fryer is down 33%. Plus, a versatile Dutch oven can be had for $50 -- normally $100 or more. Any of them one would make a sharp gift for Father's Day for the dad who cooks. 

Enameled cast iron isn't all that's on sale at Woot right now. There are full stainless steel cookware sets down as much as 36%. Shop the full Cuisinart cookware sale and see our top picks below.

If you're starting from scratch with kitchen cookware, this 8-piece set has the essentials and it's made from tough 18/10 stainless steel. The set includes a 2.5-quart saucepan with lid, 4-quart saute pan with cover, 6-quart stockpot with cover, 8-inch skillet and 10-inch skillet.

This is a great size for a Dutch oven if you're cooking for three or four. It's available in six colors at this near-all-time low price.

This 7-quart casserole is enameled for a strong and durable outer surface that can withstand both high heat and open flame. Ideal for braises, stews and soups, it's also dishwasher-safe for quick and easy cleanup.

This 12-inch cast iron chicken fryer goes easily from oven to stovetop with handle and lid for a quick fry or saute and back under the coils to finish. Superior heat retention and even distribution mean you'll have evenly cooked food, done fast. It's available in this fun blue gradient, fire engine red, matte white and teal.
