またまたDaily Mailのサイトでやっていた比較シリーズ。
今回は「SIX OF THE BEST... CASSEROLES」
① Jamie Oliver Tefal Professional range £80 for a 26cm oval cocotte
There are only four pieces in this new range: the cocotte, a stew pot, shallow casserole (tegame) and a gratin dish in two colours (raspberry or lime green). The tough enamel coating on the interior, exterior and base prevents rusting. Suitable for all heat sources. Tefal.co.uk
② Le Creuset £92 for 26cm shallow casserole
Le Creuset has been making cookware since 1926. Like all castiron pans, these are perfect for slow cooking and distribute heat evenly, without 'hot spots'. The vitreous enamel finish entirely covers each piece, including rims, making them extremely durable. Look for coordinating pans, grills, a wok and even a tagine, in a range of colours.

③ Emile Henry Flame £67 for 24cm casserole
These are actually ceramic, yet uniquely expand and contract at the same time to avoid cracking and breaking. Can be used on top of the stove, in the oven, in the microwave - even from the freezer straight onto the hob. But they are breakable if dropped on a hard floor. Also available in black. Amazon.co.uk
④ Valira Induction £44 for a 24cm shallow casserole
If cast iron is too heavy for you, try Valira pans. Designed for induction hobs, but suitable for all cookers, they are ovenproof, and made from lighter cast aluminium. They are extremely robust, however, and are ideal for simmering, providing excellent heat distribution. Lakeland.co.uk
⑤ John Lewis from £29.25 for a 22cm casserole
Made in France using traditional casting methods, these cast iron casserole dishes have rings on the underside of the lids, allowing the liquid that evaporates during cooking to drip back down into the food, keeping it moist - ideal for slow cooking. Also available in red and black. Johnlewis.com
⑥ Chasseur from £50 for a 29cm casserole
Available in a range of colours, these cast-iron dishes are as durable as they are stylish. You can buy coordinating pots and saucepans and match them with Chasseur's extensive range of frying pans, woks, fondu pans and gratin dishes.
私はやっぱり②のルクがダントツで欲しいですね。 他メーカーに比べて形、色も豊富だし、心がくすぐられます。 既にココットロンドの24センチを持っているのですが、まだ今のように可愛い色の選択がなかった頃に購入したダークグリーン。
今なら白とオリーブグリーンが欲しい~!
ルク以外なら⑤(赤か黒)と⑥(白かクリームか黒)でしょうかね。
でもキャセロール鍋って重いし、そんなに数は必要じゃないんですよね...。
