Aldi is selling a handy dupe that's ‘just like' Gordon Ramsay favourite – and it's £85 cheaper than the original
ALDI is selling a handy dupe that's 'just like' a Gordon Ramsay favourite - and it's £85 cheaper than the original. The discount retailer's special buy releases today, so you'll need to rush to your nearest store - before stocks are sold out. This week's treat is an alternative to one of the hottest cookware brands around. HexClad is endorsed by Gordon Ramsay and has rave reviews from professional chefs and home cooks. In fact, our professional product reviewer and prolific home cook reviewed the brand recently and you can read his thoughts here. However, the downside to HexClad is the massive price tags which our reviewer said was: "Heinously expensive." That's why this alternative, that launched in Aldi stores yesterday (Thursday 29th of May), is a real limited time opportunity. So if you're not ready to splash out on the brand this might be a good way to try the design out first. Priced at £14.99 each, Aldi's 28cm Tri-Ply Frying Pan and 18cm Saucepan are a bargain alternative. Aldi says: 'Cook up a treat with the Tri-Ply premium technology combining two stainless steel layers over an aluminium layer. 'The layers work together to spread heat evenly throughout.' They are great dupes for HexClad, but at a much more purse-friendly price. I've figured out how to make the perfect fried eggs - it's so simple, works every time and you don't even need any oil Aldi's versions are non-stick and provide 'fast and even heating'. You can also use metal utensils in them without fear of ruining the cooking surface and they're suitable for all hobs, including induction. But unlike HexClad, which features the hexagon design on the base, Aldi's versions have smooth bottoms. The Tri Ply Pans also come with a one-year warranty, whereas HexClad offers a lifetime warranty - but for the price that seems okay. When to bag yellow sticker bargains Aldi: Look for red stickers near closing time, offering up to 75% off perishable items and 30% off damaged packaging goods. Asda: Discounts happen twice daily, in the morning and evening. Early risers can find fresh produce for as low as 10p. Lidl: Price cuts occur first thing in the morning and before closing. Use the Lidl Plus app for additional weekly promotions. Marks and Spencer: Reductions often occur near closing time. Monthly in-store offers and combo deals, like the £12 Dine In for Two, provide extra savings. Morrisons: Yellow sticker discounts appear throughout the day. Register for a More Card to get specific day-based discounts, like 20% off fish on Fridays. Sainsbury's: No set discount times; look for yellow 'reduced' stickers. Register for Nectar prices for nearly 50% off weekly offers. Tesco: No fixed discount times. Check the "mark-down section" in 300 stores for reduced-price items like salads, bread, and meat. Aldi shoppers are also flocking to the supermarket to get their hands on a stylish mirror for less than £1. The absolute steal was found in the middle aisle at Aldi, and the price was almost too good to be true. Customers have also raved about a set of beautiful garden lights on sale for less than a coffee. The German grocer is charging full steam ahead with its expansion plans, splashing out £650million this year alone to bring its famously low prices to even more shoppers.

Aldi set to launch $40 'dupe' of popular $570 luxury Le Creuset cookware 'must-have'
Shoppers reluctant to fork out hundreds of dollars on high-end cookware will be thrilled to know that Aldi Australia is launching a cast iron range for a fraction of the price. The supermarket giant is set to release a new 'winter cooking' collection as part of its Special Buys sale on Saturday, June 7. One of the top deals is the $39.99 cast iron bread oven - a near-perfect 'dupe' of luxury French-Belgian brand Le Creuset's $570 version. Both bread ovens share similar features - including a dome-shaped lid that traps and circulates steam to produce a golden, crispy crust, and a cast iron base with handles, making it easy to move from hob to oven to table. Despite the significant price difference, Le Creuset is renowned for its high-quality enameled cast iron cookware, crafted from some of the world's finest materials. Perfect for baking bread at home, Aldi's cast iron oven has a three-layer enamel coating, and is said to be 'built to last for long-term use'. Suitable for all stovetops, including gas, electric, glass ceramic, and induction, the bread oven comes in three colours: blue, green and white. The range will include a wide selection of cast iron pieces, including the popular $26.99 Dutch oven, $39.99 oval pot and a $34.99 French pan. Other items to look out for is a $19.99 frypan, a $26.99 roasting dish and a $19.99 grillpan. The Dutch ovens have been a huge hit among shoppers in recent years, with many Aldi shoppers sharing rave reviews of the affordable range. 'My Aldi cast iron pan and pot are amazing, still going strong for a reasonable price,' one said. 'Had my Aldi one for five years, used regularly. No problems at all. Always hand wash - don't have a dishwasher. No complaints and still looks new,' another shared. 'I've had an Aldi Dutch oven for over 15 years - it's a beauty,' one revealed. Meanwhile, those with expensive taste can't get enough of their beloved Le Creuset. 'I have had my Le Creuset Dutch oven for over 25 years and it's as good as the day I bought it,' one shared. 'I've had 40 years of daily use from my Le Creuset pans. The Aldi ones don't compare, but at their price they can be replaced after a few years if necessary,' another added. 'Le Creuset pots are not just a pot but a future family heirloom. I love mine,' one said.

Love Your Cast-Iron Skillet? Here Are 4 Foods You Should Never Cook in It
You'd be hard-pressed to find a cookware material more fawned over than cast iron. While cast iron is exceptionally durable, it's not impervious to damage. Cooking with highly acidic ingredients, exposing the pan to prolonged moisture, or using it improperly can compromise the integrity of its seasoning or even cause lasting harm to the surface. Such missteps can reduce a once-dependable kitchen mainstay to a crippled piece of kitchen cookware. To find out exactly which foods to keep out of cast iron -- or at the very least, cook with caution -- I asked Eric Rowse. Rowse is the lead chef instructor of Culinary Arts at the Institute of Culinary Education and shared tips for using the cult-favorite cookware without ruining its surface. If you want to keep your cast iron slick, smooth, and worthy of its place on the stovetop throne, there are a few things you should never let near it. Here's what to avoid — and why your pan will thank you. 4 foods that will ruin cast-iron cookware According to Rowse, you can technically cook anything in cast iron -- even fish and eggs -- but some foods react poorly to cast iron if not done properly, leading to surface decay or food with a metallic taste. 1. Tomatoes It's OK to cook acidic foods such as tomatoes and vinegar in your cast-iron pan but letting them sit for long periods can eat away at the seasoning. istetiana/Getty Images "Highly acidic foods, such as tomato and tomato-based dishes, can be problematic on raw iron, poorly or underseasoned cast iron," Rowse says. "Cooking these foods in neglected cast iron can lead to a metallic taste in the food. If the pan is well seasoned and cleaned out after each use, it isn't a problem." To be safe, cook some bacon in your skillet afterward to give the seasoning extra protection. As a bonus, you'll have bacon on hand. What you don't want to do is leave the acidic food just sitting in the pan, which can eat away at the seasoning. 2. Vinegar Most BBQ sauces have a fair amount of vinegar that can damage your cast-iron cookware. CNET For the same reason as tomatoes, vinegar can eat away at a seasoned cast-iron skillet, sending you back to square one. Vinegar-based foods like adobo or Carolina-style barbecue sauce are good examples of acidic foods that shouldn't sit in a cast-iron pan for long. If you do use vinegar in a recipe and cook it in cast-iron, be sure to clean the pan immediately afterward with hot water and salt or a small dash of gentle dish soap.

Géza Bálint Ujvárosi/EyeEm/Getty Images While they're may not be a ton of reasons to put citrus in a cast-iron skillet, certain recipes call for a fair amount of lemon or lime juice. A squeeze of lemon at the end probably won't destroy your cast-iron pan, but don't let citrus juice simmer inside of it for long, or your precious patina won't survive the night. 4. Wine-based sauces Red wine is great to add into stews and red meat dishes. fermate/Getty Images Cooking with wine is almost always a good idea. In fact, we have a list of recipes that thrive with a few ounces of red or white. But letting acid-heavy wine braise or simmer in a cast-iron pot or pan for too long could cause the slick patina to erode, leaving you with an unseasoned skillet that food will stick to. Can you cook eggs in cast iron? A properly seasoned cast-iron skillet can cook eggs without issue. Getty Images While they won't damage your pan, eggs are tricky to pan-fry without having a sticky mess to deal with after. While cast-iron cookware isn't as nonstick as chemically coated pans, it's still a fine candidate for scrambling or frying the morning staple. "I love cooking eggs in cast iron," Rowse told us. "I have a small 5-inch one that I cook fried eggs in. Cast iron is able to get super-hot, and precise control is harder because it retains heat for longer, and therefore it is more difficult to make small adjustments to the temperature." What about fish? I heat my prepared meals up in a skillet or air fryer if I'm home. David Watsky/CNET Likewise, many varieties of fish are flaky and tend to stick to surfaces if not managed properly. If your cast-iron's patina isn't properly slicked or is too hot when the fish goes down, you may end up scraping half of your halibut from the bottom of the pan. How to avoid a cast-iron cooking conundrum Properly seasoning your cast iron will keep foods such as fish and eggs from sticking. Tyler Lizenby/CNET First and foremost, you'll want to properly season so you can cook even the stickiest foods without worry. When cooking acidic foods in cast iron, avoid slow-braising or simmering on the stovetop for long periods. When the food is finished cooking, remove it and wash your cast-iron pan immediately with hot water, a drop of dish soap and a sprinkling of kitchen salt for extra stuck-on foods. And if you're not sure, opt for an acid-safe piece of cookware as an enameled Dutch oven or stainless-steel skillet.
