published 6 September 2020

Back by popular demand, Aldi's cast iron, Le Creuset-look cookware was a sell-out last time it was on the shelves and we predict it'll sell out fast. The good news? You can pre-order it from today and it's in stores on 10th September.

The new colourways are a stylish matt black, grey ombre and plum ombre... Sounds dreamy, right? What's more, this year's range boasts our fave 26cm Shallow Casserole Dish at just £19.99 and some dreamy Stoneware Mugs at £3.99. Enjoy a new set of four espresso cups or set of two mugs.

1. Cast iron roaster, £19.99

We most certainly needed no convincing on the roast dinner front but this cast iron roaster for just £19.99 from Aldi has tipped us over the edge. We absolutely NEED it (and they're going to serve us well for future gifts too). This piece of kit is brilliantly durable, despite the low price point. It can withstand gas, electric, induction hobs and solid fuel cookers... suitable for heat up to 250ºC.

2. Cast Iron Shallow Casserole Dish, £24.99

This was a favourite model among Aldi customers last time so why not bring it back? The perfect dish to make a hearty meal for a family of four and an ideal size for when space is at a premium.. This is a great buy if you're on a budget and want to jazz up your kitchenware. A bit of a staple, really. Aldi’s 30cm Cast Iron Shallow Casserole Dish, £24.99

Introducing the Aldi 26cm Cast Iron Casserole Dish, £24.99. The new grey ombre colourway is evidence that Aldi is pulling out all the stops with the relaunch of this range. The perfect Autumn/Winter buy so you can get prepared for slow cooking casseroles, curries and the works... Seriously, is there any better feeling than lifting the cast iron stoneware lid and the kitchen being filled with that aroma?

4. Cast iron griddle tray, £14.99

We're kind of loving home cooking and fakeaways... So, why not invest in a new piece of kit to make steaks, pan griddled fresh fish and more, a reality? We've been soaking up the rays this summer, enjoying the garden hosting BBQ life... but now reality has settled in and the rain is pouring. A cast iron griddle is the perfect alternative, it'll almost make you forget about the dreary weather. Cast iron griddle tray, £14.99
