SHOPPERS after a cast iron casserole dish without the premium Le Creuset price tag need to snap up the Tefal LOV oval stewpot from Amazon.
The 34cm terracotta dish holds 7.2 litres (enough for eight servings), and it’s currently only £67.
It comes in stylish colours too
Tefal LOV Enamelled Cast Iron Oval Casserole Dish, 34cm, 7.2L, Terracotta: £67.33

Thank you!
The enamel uses lead- and cadmium-free pigments, and the thick base and condensation lid keep moisture inside the pot rather than escaping across your hob.
The Tefal casserole dish is also oven-safe up to 250°C and works on every hob type including induction, so it can go from hob to oven to table without a serving dish in sight.

Lidl is selling a £13 five-star Tefal pan – I’ve found it cheaper elsewhere
CUTTING COSTS
Jamie Oliver kitchen knife set home cooks are raving about slashed to £24
At £67, it’s a practical and affordable investment.
A similar-sized Le Creuset dish costs over £400
In contrast a Le Creuset cast-iron oval casserole dish with a similar capacity will set you back £405, so buying the Tefal version will save you £338.
The Tefal dish is great way for home cooks to get all the benefits of the premium cast iron version without the expense.
One verified Amazon buyer, who bought hers in a previous sale, said the splurge was “worth it”, while another shopper described it as “built to last”.
The 20-year guarantee is the thing worth paying attention to – it’s the nearest thing on offer to Le Creuset’s lifetime cover.
