Cooking for one often means using a full-size pot for a single serve, then dealing with a sink full of washing up.
That’s where ALDI’s latest Special Buy comes in. Crofton has launched a range of compact cookware through ALDI, designed for single serves and smaller cooking tasks.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- ALDI’s new Crofton mini cookware range starts at just $9.99 per piece.
- Each pot and pan measures 16cm.
- Three styles are available: a saucepan, low casserole, and tall casserole.
Smaller cookware heats up faster, takes up less storage space, and may help reduce washing up after meals, making it useful for solo cooks and smaller households. And the best part is, they are $9.99 each.
How the Crofton mini pots and pans work
Designed for cooking smaller portions, the saucepan is ideal for sauces, porridge, melting butter or heating soup, while the low casserole dish works well for eggs and quick sautés.
The ceramic non-stick coating means you can use less oil, and cleanup should be a quick wipe rather than a soak-and-scrub job.
As for colours, the low pan comes in baby pink or mint green, the saucepan in pink or navy, and the tall pan in red or blue. If you want a particular colour, check the stock online before you head to the store.
Who would benefit from the Crofton mini pots and pans?
If you live alone, cook for two, or regularly find yourself washing a giant pan after making one serve, these are for you. Beyond cooking smaller portions, the compact size makes the range a practical option for anyone short on storage space. They’re also great for caravans and share-houses, and anyone who likes serving individual portions straight to the table.
Where to buy the ALDI Crofton mini pots and pans
As an ALDI Special Buy, the cookware is only available while stocks last. Once sold out, it’s unlikely to be restocked, so get in quickly.
