Whether you're a regular Gordan Ramsay in the kitchen or can just about fry a sausage, you can't go wrong with this budget buy.
The Crofton Everyways Pan will be available for just £19.99 in Aldi's middle aisle from Thursday, July 31.
Product details
Available in blue, cyan, grey, and red, the pan comes with a steamer for draining and cooking.
It is suitable for all stove tops, including induction, and is oven safe up to 200-degrees Celsius.
Measuring 28 centimetres in diameter, this cookware item is also dishwasher safe.
According to the product description, this pan can "revamp your kitchen tools and cook up those new recipe"s.
"You can host those dinner parties whilst keeping a lip on prices," manufacturers said.
High-end version
But while this budget buy may resemble the pricier Cast Iron Round Skillet from Le Creuset, which starts at £99, there are significant differences between the products.
While the high-end version is created with cast iron, the Aldi buy is made from recycled aluminium material, with ceramic coating.

The Le Creuset item has additional features which also justify the significantly higher price point.
These include spouted sides for simple pouring and an enamel interior, which develops a natural patina that will behave like a non-stick surface.
"Its finish also has great food release properties with less seasoning required," say manufacturers.
Shoppers can also pick up a George Home Black Barbican Saute Pan from Asda for just £20.
Meanwhile, Tesco is selling the Go Cook Aluminium Marble Frying Pan for £15 and Lidl has the HexGuard Frying Pan available for £16.99.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
