I'm thinking of buying a castle iron casserole pot. They have then in the Lidl catalogue and they are in store from tomorrow
They also have some on Amazon
I will pay if I get one from Lidl but I can use my receipt vouchers if I have one from Amazon, so it will really be free.
It depends on the colours and sizes that are available.
Can anyone recommend them ?

I'm hard core a Le Creuset fan. The pieces aren't cheap but they last forever and work so well. I have the Marseille color along with some random red and orange dishes that were given to me.
Its funny because I'm not picky or snobby about most things. I do have certain things that I *am* picky about. I have a nice car. I have nice baking items (Le Creuset). That's probably it though.

@NJChicaa. Yes, I am snobby about certain things ...certain branded foods/ drinks.
I had thought of Le Creuset, The Mister was going to buy some for me as a present, but then we got the Ninja and I use that for most things....however, these casserole pots were on special offer and that got me thinking about it again ... Especially with the colder weather coming...
I think I will end up with the better make at the end of the day ...

Maybe I should explain myself. A chef on The Food Network once said if you’re not sure if a pot is really cast iron, just know with a real one you would be able to take out a burglar with a well placed hit on someone’s head.

@Traceyjayne We had a Le Creuset for years - now I have begonias growing in it in the garden but I can’t remember why.

@JudyEv. Yes, I found that out today when I went to look at them ... Crikey I'm going to need big muscles to lift it when it's got food inside

I have one. It’s not the elite Le Creuset that I originally thought I wanted. A friend bought me this one for a gift and it works fine, looks good, etc. I have discovered that once loaded with food it is so heavy it could be considered a lethal weapon!! So I hardly ever use it…I need to pass it on to someone with more muscles!

@MarieCoyle. Yes, that's why I wanted to go and see these ones, firstly to check which size I would need and secondly to see if I could lift the blooming thing. I have realised that they are quite heavy without food in ....I may need to go on a body building course if I get one of these pots !

If I load mine up with food, I can barely lift it. I think I am going to have to pass it on to someone who is stronger than I am!

Coo, my mom love buying casserole. I think anything that are thick and use good material is fine to buy.
