Key Points<\/p>\n

Aldi offers affordable cookware dupes, like pumpkin-shaped dishes and cast-iron Dutch ovens.<\/p>\n

These budget-friendly options rival high-end brands like Le Creuset at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

Seasonal cookware includes versatile Dutch ovens, mini pans and roasters in festive colors.<\/p>\n

It’s time for soup season,\u00a0pie season,\u00a0casserole season\u00a0and the season for all kinds of comforting foods we love. Part of the delight of making all those warm and cozy dishes is having a couple pieces of fun but dependable cookware to serve them in.<\/p>\n

While brands like Le Creuset and Staub have\u00a0the market cornered on expensive, top-of-the-line\u00a0cookware, Aldi\u00a0is coming to the rescue with affordable, adorable dupes which get the same job done at a fraction of the cost. If you’re in the market for some gourd-inspired crockery or colorful cast-iron, here’s what you should look out for in September.<\/p>\n

Available September 2 for\u00a0$16.99<\/p>\n

The Crofton large pumpkin-shaped dish isn’t a cast-iron piece, but it’s one that looks an awful lot like Le Creuset’s\u00a0pumpkin-shaped Dutch oven. Unlike the original, which runs around\u00a0$395, Aldi’s\u00a0version is a far more affordable option. Serving a gorgeous autumn salad or a simple casserole\u00a0in a pumpkin-shaped dish isn’t a fall requirement, but it’s pretty tempting.<\/p>\n

Available September 2 for $29.99<\/p>\n

A Dutch oven is one of the most versatile tools in your kitchen for bread, casserole, sauces and soup. These Aldi\u00a0models come in cream and a lovely dark green, which may even\u00a0fit in with Christmas decor\u00a0when December arrives. While Le Creuset’s signature Dutch oven starts at about $300 and can cost upwards of $800, this\u00a0large cast-iron Dutch oven costs less than $30.<\/p>\n

Available September 16 for $19.99<\/p>\n

For a smaller cast-iron Dutch oven, Aldi is offering\u00a0a petite version of their larger Dutch oven for a little less. Keep the same color palette and buy the big guy and the little guy in the same color for a coordinated set. You can dish up beef stew in one and serve your mashed potatoes out of the other.<\/p>\n

For some cute-as-a-button but still useful cookware, check out the Crofton cast-iron mini cookware. There are three varieties here: bakers, frypans and skillets. In the\u00a0bakers, you can make a perfect mug-style cake or muffin. The mini-frying pan is perfect for an egg or small serving of hash browns, and the skillets look like the perfect tool for a little\u00a0skillet cookie or a personal\u00a0casserole.<\/p>\n

Cast-Iron Oval Roasters\"Credit:<\/p>\n

A cast-iron oval roaster is a classic piece\u00a0for hosting big gatherings. It has a generous\u00a0shape, making\u00a0it ideal for meat or\u00a0poultry roasts, large batches of soups and big pasta bakes. Like the circular\u00a0Dutch ovens, this piece\u00a0comes in cream and forest green, so you can complete your set.<\/p>\n
