This Mini Cocotte from Le Creuset Is Perfect for Individual Portions

As the year winds down, the last thing you (or your wallet) might want to do is more online shopping, especially after the holiday season. However, it's the perfect time to save big as brands host end-of-year sales on exciting items including this durable 3-quart soup pot or this celebrity-approved blanket. But the one sale that I'm most eager to shop is Le Creuset's Winter Savings Event.

Right now, there are dozens of items on discount—from their signature oval skillet to their heritage square baking dishes. One item that I'll definitely be adding to my cart is the Mini Round Cocotte, which is perfect for making individual portions. You can use it to make everything from Vegetarian Shepherd's Pies to Old-Fashioned Fruit Crumble and it's convenient when you need a smaller batch of grains, like couscous, and don't want to make a whole pot's worth.

The mini cocotte can be used in the microwave, oven and under the broiler, and has a scratch-resistant glaze. As part of the Winter Savings Event, the cocotte is on sale for just $20 and comes in 13 color options (so yes, I will be buying multiple colors). The savings event won't last forever, so be sure to snag a mini cocotte when you can. Plus, check out our other favorite deals from the Le Creuset sale below.
