The weather might be warming up, but there's still time to enjoy some hearty meals before summer takes hold - there's nothing quite like the comfort of a well-prepared casserole to warm up a chilly spring evening. Whether it's a beef stew, creamy mac and cheese, or a vegetable bake, casserole dishes have become an essential part of every kitchen. But with so many new and exciting kitchen gadgets flooding the market, it's hard to know where to start when it comes to upgrading your cooking tools.
With the right cookware, you can take your meals to the next level, impress your guests, and make mealtime feel a little more special. Now, customers can grab a MasterClass Non-Stick Cast Aluminium 24 cm Casserole Dish for £41.60 down from £52.
00 from Dunelm. A stylish piece of cookware that doesn't carry as high a price tag as the likes of Le Creuset. The casserole dish is available in a range of pastel spring colours to fit everyone's preference, including baby blue, red, mint green, lavender, grey, dark green, cream and navy.
With a 4 litre capacity, the dish is sure to be a trusted choice when feeding the whole family or even doing a bulk cook of meal prep for the week. It’s made from lightweight cast aluminium, has ultra-strong, double layer non-stick which is everyone’s dream - say goodbye to food sticking to the bottom of your dish and hours of cleaning it off. The self-basting lid is also said to ensure buyers' food stays juicy and tender and the dish is both dishwasher and oven safe and hob-friendly.
However, if customers are after something a little different, they could try alternatives such as the Cast Iron Round Casserole from Le Creuset, which ranges from £209.00 to £399.00 depending on the size and capacity chosen.
Le Creuset is a fan favourite among cooks across the world and is said to be perfectly designed for stews, roasts, soups, casseroles and baking. If it’s a set that customers are after for their cooking, they could opt for the M&S Collection 3 Piece Stainless Steel Pan Set for £69.00, which includes three pans that are dishwasher safe, oven safe to 180 degrees and are suitable for all hob types.
However, the MasterClass Non-Stick Cast Aluminium dish has a number of five star reviews on Dunelm’s site with one customer saying: “Still using my Le Creuset dishes (very heavy) after 50+ years. My son moving into his new flat asked if it was now possible to get something lighter. This turned out to be perfect - he loves it.
” Another said: “Excellent casserole dish - only used it 3 times so far, but does an excellent job. An additional perk is that it’s a lot lighter than its cast iron equivalent and very easy to clean.” “Bought it to make stews.
I’ve also fried bacon and sausages in it. Great results with everything I’ve cooked in it so far. Also saves cooking time and easy to clean.
Very happy with my MasterClass cast aluminium casserole dish,” another buyer said. Although there were no negative reviews on the dish, some customers have taken to Trustpilot with their experiences with Dunelm as one said: “Great mugs, but one was chipped and unusable.” Another said: “Terrible customer service.
Numerous webchats and emails to sort out a faulty blind and keep asking more and more questions." However, for an expensive looking piece of cooking equipment for a cheaper price than loved brands, the MasterClass Non-Stick Cast Aluminium 24 cm Casserole Dish sounds like a no brainer!.
