Casserole dish for hob and oven

[CakewalkCakeWalk]

Is there only cast iron dishes that are suitable for both hob and oven? I struggle to lift the heavy dishes even before filling, but would really love to be able to prepare a casserole etc correctly. Any tips or recommendations please?

There is a good selection on Amazon depending on what size and finish you want. Stainless steel, enamel, aluminium, pyroflam etc.

We've got an aluminium one. It's light as a feather. However they don't work on induction hobs.

I bought one from wilko last week. £21 and suitable for all types of hobs, oven safe to 220c. Used it a couple of times and would recommend, not heavy either!

Look at Le Creuset. Love them!

I was struggling to lift my cast iron ones so have recently exchanged them for aluminium from M&S. Cooks fine and cleans like a dream.

I also love them but they are way too heavy for me to lift

I've just got one of those and I'm really pleased with it. Large cast iron pots are a pain.

The only problem with the M&S ones is that the handles get very hot, even when just used on the hob.

Just something to be aware of.

Oooh! Just seen they do handle grips!

Problem solved

I just saw that IKEA have some lovely ones

I have an IKEA one and it's really light, but the handles get piping hot 🔥
