Not only will you save £6 thanks to the discount, but it’s £268.01 cheaper than the Le Creuset alternative, which looks strikingly similar.

There’s also five different sizes to choose from - from 2.1-quart to 7.3-quart. The pot is billed as 'low maintenance' and coated with enamel so it doesn't need seasoning. Not only this, but it’s ovenproof and retains heat for even cooking. The pot has clearly been a hit with many, as it has quickly amassed an average rating of 4.5 out of five stars.

“So pleased with its durability and design, I'm in love with the teal blue colour. Effortless cleaning, fantastic quality.". Renovations expert Andy Simms, from MyBuilder.com revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year. COLOUR DRENCHING. Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won’t escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms.

STATEMENT WALLPAPER. Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.

BROKEN LIVING PLAN. Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn’t quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. “Broken plan” is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.

Another wrote: "The pot feels really heavy duty and solid which I was hoping for. It feels like a much more expensive product. Quality of enamelling is great. "Lid sits perfectly on the rim, which is what I wanted for making my sourdough loaf. The green colour is vibrant and beautiful.

It is better than my other Le Creuset ones even though quite a bit cheaper. "This is great value and I’m sure it will last just as long as the more expensive brands.". Meanwhile, a third penned: "Thought I ordered a Le Creuset pot until this arrived. It is however better than my other Le Creuset ones even though quite a bit cheaper.".
