Hob to oven casserole dish

I'm looking for recommendations for a shallow, lightweight casserole dish with lid that I can either use on the hob or pop in the oven. I love the cast iron ones (crueset and similar ) but they are just too heavy, even before food is added.

I use this because of the lighter weight, multiple applications.

ninathenana What?

I'm sure it's good but it's quite pricey. I'm looking for one too. I'd like a good one but a little cheaper if poss.

very nice I’m sure but I wouldn’t pay that amount

I too can't get on with heavy ones.

My best buy in kitchen stuff has been a Masterclass hob to oven casserole dish by Kitchen Craft (www.kitchencraft.co.uk)

I bought in our local Home Hardware shop, think the shops are previously independent but now under a sort of "umbrella" .

Planning to buy some more in the same range when other pots need replacing.

Only drawback is the non stick inner, so need to remember to use the right utensils!

How about one from procook. They have a good selection and not too pricey. This one is on clearance -

This one, other shapes and sizes are available.

I think it was around £24, not sure but was definitely under £30.

Gets used almost every week, very happy with it!

Norah it was the price that shocked me

Norah Sun 05-Jan-20 16:12:30

Is it more expensive than crueset, OP mentioned crueset.

Norah Sun 05-Jan-20 16:17:22

I am sorry I assumed the same price and quality was required. I do love a good quality stainless, with no nonstick surface, just works to me.

Chucky Sun 05-Jan-20 16:20:27

@Norah the link you supplied is to a Le Creuset chef pan. Although not as heavy as their cast iron ones, it is still fairly heavy at 2.5kg.

Thanks Chucky I was showing the same quality and lower weight. Works for me, at any rate, done explaining as not all can agree on pans.

annep1 Sun 05-Jan-20 17:25:13

I wasn't the OP, but thanks for the suggestions.

FlexibleFriend Sun 05-Jan-20 17:46:03

I have these in various sizes, they last forever, really easy to clean too.

Helps to add the link dummy.

I like the Procook one and it's an affordable price. Good reviews too. Thank you all for your suggestions. smile

I have a Stellar shallow casserole/pan (no nonstick lining) which I bought 20+ years ago . I use it almost every day and it is still as good as new. I have burnt food in it many times and cleans up superbly. I wash it in the dish washer and it comes out sparkling.
TK Maxx often have Stellar pans in.

Niobe Mon 06-Jan-20 10:19:12

Meant to add that i do agree with Norah, I have the Le Creuset stainless steel casserole too but in a large size and it is superb , well worth the money. I use it when cooking larger amounts of food and it can be taken directly to the table.
