Lidl takes on Le Creuset with designer inspired bargain kitchen range

If you've had your eye on an expensive Le Creuset pan or casserole dish - but are not made of money - then Lidl has you covered.

The supermarket will launch a 'designer inspired' 'Ernesto' range of kitchenware on Thursday, offering shoppers the chance to upgrade their pots, pans and dishes for a bargain deal.

Lidl doesn't explicitly say it, but the range looks heavily inspired by Le Creuset's famous premium kitchenware - except in price.

The range includes a colourful 4 litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish, which costs just £24.99. It is oven safe and suitable for all kinds of hobs, Lidl says, and can be bought for a quarter of the price of Le Creuset's similar looking £99 casserole dish.

"Oven safe and suitable for all hob types including induction, they are perfect for cooking up a storm," Lidl says.

A ceramic coated frying pan is also in the range, priced at £14.99. It looks similar to a £135 frying pan sold by Le Creuset. Other items in the range include a £19.99 forged aluminium stock pot, oven dishes and plate, bowl and mug sets.

The range will be available in-store only from Thursday February 20. As ever, be quick, as once they're gone, they're gone.
