Soup season is here, and Aldi’s new cast iron cookware range could be just the kitchen upgrade needed for warming soups, hearty stews and comforting winter dinners. Arriving in Aldi stores across Ireland from 5 November 2026, the collection combines practical everyday pieces with an attractive, classic design.
For anyone planning batch cooking, festive entertaining or cosy weekend meals, this affordable cookware range offers several useful options without the designer-style price tag.
Aldi cookware range: what’s included?
The collection is centred around durable cast iron pieces designed for slow cooking, roasting, baking and frying. Two Dutch oven sizes are available, making them particularly useful for soups, casseroles and one-pot meals.
- 22cm Cast Iron Dutch Oven: €24.99
- 26cm Cast Iron Dutch Oven: €24.99
- Cast Iron Casserole Dish and Bread Baking Pot: €24.99
- Cast Iron Roaster: €12.99
- Frying pan, grill pan or saucepan: €14.99 each
- Cast Iron Skillet: €14.99
- Cast Iron Accessories: €2.49
The roaster is oven-safe up to 250°C, making it a handy choice for roast dinners, baked vegetables and family-sized dishes. Meanwhile, the bread baking pot is aimed at home bakers who want to experiment with crusty loaves during the colder months.
Useful pieces for winter cooking
Cast iron is particularly well suited to comfort food because it retains heat effectively and distributes it evenly. A Dutch oven can move from stovetop to oven for recipes such as lentil soup, beef stew, vegetable casserole or slow-cooked pasta sauce, while a skillet is useful for searing, frying and serving sizzling dishes straight from the kitchen.
The smaller accessories also add practical value. Aldi’s selection includes items such as pot holders, pan holders and trivets, helping protect worktops and hands when handling hot cookware.
