That’s what happened when I came across theCrofton cast-iron braiserin this week’s ALDI finds.
Its a dead ringer for the Le Creuset equivalent but for a mere five percent of the price.

No, that’s not a typo!
At $24.99, this braiser is a steal compared to Le Creuset’s $445 version.

And when I compared the product specs side-by-side, I realized that they’re virtually identical.
Both have durable cast-iron construction that evenly conducts heat.
The enameled interior doesn’t require seasoning like traditional cast-iron, and it acts as a nonstick surface.
This braiser can handle anything from searing steaks on the stovetop to baking bread in a super-hot oven.
The most obvious difference between the two braisers is the warranty.
ALDI offers a two-year warranty while Le Creuset has alimited lifetime warranty.
With the Crofton braisers at this unbelievable price point, they won’t last long.
