ProCook's Cast Iron Range Is Even Better (and More Beautiful) Than I Ever Imagined, and the Colors Are Divine – It's the Best Value Cast Iron Cookware We’ve Found This Year

Few items in my kitchen get as much use as my trusty large, ancient cast-iron casserole dish. When it comes to my culinary rituals, it is my loyal friend, devoted companion, and partner in crime.

When looking to buy the best cast iron cookware, you can often expect to pay hundreds of pounds. But there's a British brand that we love and trust, that has no time for sky-high prices and all the time for top quality. ProCook's cast-iron dishes are notoriously high quality, heavy-duty, and outstanding value for money.

As the UK Black Friday sales loom large, we were particularly surprised to see that ProCook's Black Friday sale has landed unseasonably early, and their iconic and much-loved cast iron cookware range has made its way into the sale. With this in mind, we wanted to sound our alarm that, for a short snippet of time, you can bag yourself one (or two) of these beautiful cookware items for a pretty unmissable price.

If, like me, you steer well clear of non-stick chemicals, forever chemicals, and chemically coated pans, then cast-iron cookware is most certainly the way to go. Whilst there is lots of wonderful non-toxic cookware on the market, nothing beats traditional, tried and true, old-fashioned cast iron.

Happily, ProCook has included their beautiful heritage colourways in the sale. These gentle vintage-inspired colours work beautifully in traditional and classic kitchens, and can really complement your kitchen's overall aesthetic.

If you're skeptical of these dishes simply because they don't have the designer price tag, then rest assured, these are professional quality, just without the pomp and circumstance of many other much-loved brands. If you're still skeptical, then it's worth noting that these come with a 25-year guarantee, so their durability really is serious business.

These cast iron cookware pieces, very similar to the iconic Le Creuset range and boasting colors just as stunning, are normally modestly priced – making them perfect for Christmas gifting. With current discounts, it’s easy to treat both yourself and a loved one.
