For anyone who missed out on the QVC offer, Amazon also currently has the Le Creuset casserole dish on sale , with the price slashed from £295 to £206.25, saving you just under £90. Over at Amazon you can also select from 13 different colours as well as sizes ranging from 25cm to 40cm, many of which are also currently discounted.

If you’re wondering what makes the Le Creuset casserole dish so popular, it’s a combination of the brand’s reputation for top quality cookware, combined with how useful and multi-purpose the dish is. Not only can it be used on your hob or induction stove to cook, but it’s also safe to place in the oven or under the grill, making it perfect for finishing off dishes.

The Le Creuset casserole dish is also dishwasher and freezer safe, which makes dealing with leftovers and cleaning up super straightforwards. The cast-iron construction also makes sure you get perfectly even cooking and browning on your dishes, as well as keeping your food warmer for longer – perfect for serving straight from oven to table.

It also comes with a tight-fitting lid which has a heat resistant knob up to 260°C that’s been designed to give you a secure grip even when using oven gloves. Whilst the 25cm size isn’t the largest design Le Creuset does, its still large enough to roast a leg of lamb or a whole chicken as well as being narrow enough to leave you oven space for other dishes for sides and trimmings.

If you’re just not quite ready to splurge on the real deal, Dunelm does a great affordable alternative that’s ideal for testing out how much use you would get out of a casserole dish before you take the plunge. The 5.2 litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish will set you back £42 and measures 26cm x 33cm, making it a great size for large family meals.
