For the second year in a row, Aldi is about to launch a stunning range of cast-iron cookware in store.

This year it returns with a new and improved coating and two new colours, meaning you can get the dishes in Country Blue, Traditional Red and Modern Grey.

The stylish cast iron pans have frequently drawn favourable comparisons with the far more expensive Le Creuset versions - just cost a tiny fraction of the price.

For example, the Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole dish costs £225 for a 24cm version at John Lewis, while the closest Aldi version costs just £24.99 - a saving of an incredible £200.01.
