One of the best kitchen investments is Le Creuset cookware. The enameled cookware has been around since the early 1920s. (Here's a bit on Le Creuset History.) If you're a serious cook you can appreciate the difference these pots make in your cooking. But even for the casual cook Le Creuset cookware is fantastic because you can make your meal and serve it in the same pot, and your table setting as well as kitchen shelves are all the better for it.
I have a slate grey dutch oven that I got from William Sonoma that I use for everything. (My brother recently made bread in his!) The original Le Creuset color is flame orange, but here are some other cool colors that will make you want to get one in your kitchen if you use it or not.
