With iconic products like two-piece casserole pots with stoneware dish sets and three-piece saucepan sets, kitchens all over the UK are about to get serious upgrades.

If you're a keen cook, bear in mind these are investment pieces that'll last a lifetime, at up to nearly half price.

And when you find out just how high the production standards are, you'll be racing to the front of the (online) queue to get your hands on some of these bargains.

Of course, we all know that the French cookware brand is iconic. But why? For starters, each piece is unique. Every product is cast from a fresh sand mould which is then smoothed by hand and enamelled. It can take 10 hours and 12 different steps to make one item.

Before a piece is deemed worthy of being sold to customers, 15 different people inspect it. And, apparently, 30% are rejected because they're not considered good enough. These pieces are melted down and the iron is recycled to make new products. So there's good reason for that hefty price tag.

If you think it's only a brand for the 40-plus chefs among us, you'd be wrong. It's huge on TikTok. The #lecreuset hashtag has had nearly 152m views and counting.

So if you've got some Gen Z-ers in your life, it might be worth telling them to snap up some bargains in this John Lewis sale, too.

To help you make the right choice, here's our edit of the top five Le Creuset pieces you need in your kitchen now.
