Huge Le Creuset sale on John Lewis continues into January for updating the kitchen

If Christmas cooking has pushed your cookware past breaking point, it might be a good time to invest in some upgraded pans and dishes.

John Lewis has been running its winter sale since December, and the discounts are pretty hefty.

Le Creuset is a premium brand for cookware with prices to match, but its unfaltering popularity with UK households has continued for years and years.

As part of John Lewis’ sale, 22 items including oven dishes, casserole dishes and pan sets have been reduced by 40 percent off.

The Le Creuset Stoneware Rectangular Oven Dish set of two usually costs £99, but in the sale it will only set you back £59.40.

The set includes the 26cm and 32cm oven dishes, in a choice of either the classic volcanic shade or deep teal.

For baking, roasting and serving, one of the perks of Le Creuset is how aesthetic the dishes look which is ideal for taking them from oven to table when hosting dinner parties.

Another of the bestselling products in the sale is the Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole dish for cooking stews, curries and slow-cooked recipes.

Along with the £90 saving, the dish also includes a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind when investing in the cookware.

John Lewis shoppers are leaving their feedback on the Casserole dish, with some saying ‘it has many uses’.

Twiglets said: ”Expensive but worth the money. Can be used on the hob or in the oven, and guarantees a nice even heat. Can sometimes stain depending on what is cooked, but nothing Barkeeper’s Friend can’t remove.”

Mowo also added: ”Smart great little casserole that has many uses. Use it for soups and stews and it can go from oven or hob on to table.”

If the sale prices are still slightly too steep, John Lewis’ own range is highly-rated, more affordable and is currently on offer too.
