If you want something similar to the quality of Le Creuset but aren’t prepared to fork out £195, it’s worth checking out this near-perfect dupe that Amazon shoppers have discovered – and it’s currently less than £30.
The MasterClass Lightweight Casserole Dish has attracted an impressive fan base, often selling out as soon as it goes on sale. Over 83 per cent of shoppers rate it a perfect five-star review, with users raving about the quality and performance, even calling it ‘simply amazing’.
The highly-rated MasterClass Casserole Dish is now on sale for just £27.99 on Amazon – that’s a saving of £21.50
Whilst affordable to begin with, the MasterClass Casserole Dish is currently reduced from £49.49 down to just £27.99 on Amazon, thanks to the Prime Day sale.
While cast iron pans are traditionally seen as the best in terms of quality and durability, they can be very heavy – not to mention incredibly expensive.
The MasterClass Casserole dish is a far more wallet-friendly solution and substantially lighter, making it far more user friendly too.
Made out of revolutionary cast aluminium, the MasterClass dish weighs just 1.55kg for a 4-litre pot, compared to the Le Creuset 3.5-litre pot, which weighs a pretty hefty 4.5kg.
Not only is it far easier to handle, but aluminium is also a very good heat conductor. This means your favourite recipes cook evenly and develop their delicious flavour in less time. Win, win.
Plus, thanks to the stainless steel base, it’s safe for any heat source, including induction hobs and ovens. You can use it for cooking bolognese, stews, curries, roasted meats – everything you need for hearty meals.
The clever self-basting lid also means it’s great for slow cooking as all those delicious flavours and juices simply drip back down into the pan.

Shoppers have piled on the praise, calling the MasterClass casserole dish ‘incredibly light’, raving how it ‘cooks the food perfectly’ and is ‘simply amazing’.
In fact, shoppers say the quality and performance is so notable that many have even compared the MasterClass to the premium Le Creuset.
One shopper wrote: ‘Bought to replace very old Le Creuset and impressed by performance and ease of use (so much lighter and still a great result).’
Another agreed, adding: ‘Having used a le cruset casserole for many years this one is so much better. Nothing sticks and it is much lighter. Used for casseroles. Soup and risotto. The handles do get hot so I purchased a set of covers which work perfectly.’
A third penned: ‘The best casserole dish I’ve owned, cooks perfect on the hob and in the oven and nothing sticks to it, you literally can rinse it clean with hot water even when it’s been in the oven for 6 hours’.
