description: Come rain or shine, a charcoal barbecue is the quintessential kit for cooking outdoors. Read our review of the best grills, from budget to blowout, plus we share tips on how to use a charcoal BBQ
encoded: A charcoal barbecue delivers something gas simply can't replicate: that deep, smoky flavour that comes from cooking directly over hot coals. It requires a little more patience – you're waiting on the coals rather than turning a dial – but for a lot of people, that's part of the appeal, and the results speak for themselves. Our experts tested a wide range of charcoal barbecues and narrowed them down to 11 of the best, from compact grills you can throw in the car to larger kettle barbecues built for serious cooks. We've covered a range of price points, too, so there's no need to spend big to get great results. New to charcoal cooking? Take a look at our guide to lighting a charcoal BBQ before you get started.

description: A deep, multipurpose casserole dish is something that every cook, whatever their skill level, should have in their arsenal. We put cast iron, ceramic and stainless steel pans to the test
encoded: A good casserole dish, or dutch oven, is one of the most useful pieces of kit I own. It’s the kind of pan I reach for when I’m making soups, stews, slow-cooked dishes or rich sauces and it earns its keep because it can go from hob to oven without a second thought. The best ones are also good-looking enough to bring straight to the table, which means less washing-up and more time eating. Cast iron can feel pricey, but a well-made dish will last for decades and only gets better with use. That said, I’ve also found great budget options in non-stick metal and ceramic, depending on what you cook most. In this guide, the Our Place Titanium Perfect Pot Pro is my top-rated pick. The latest additions to this guide were tested and reviewed by Annie Collyer. undefined Best casserole dishes at a glance 5/5 stars: Best PFAS-free casserole dish: Our Place Titanium Perfect Pot Pro, £145 Best luxury casserole dish: Le Creuset Cast Iron Round casserole, from £219 Best affordable casserole dish: M&S x Tom Kerridge casserole dish, £45 Best contemporary casserole dish: Made In Enamelled cast iron round Dutch oven, £219 Best casserole dish: HexClad 4.7-litre casserole dish, £204 Best of the rest: Best casserole dish for small kitchens: M&S x Tom Kerridge 3 piece cast iron stacking set, £100 Best oval casserole dish: ProCook cast iron casserole dish 30cm, £75 Best budget casserole dish: Nuovva cast iron Dutch oven casserole pot with lid 6L, £59.99 Best casserole dish for versatility: Our Place Perfect Pot, £109 Best casserole dish for lid-off cooking: Prestige casserole and glass lid 5.7L, £49.99 Best lightweight casserole dish: MasterClass cast-aluminium casserole dish, £44 Best-looking casserole dish: Staub cast-iron Cocotte, from £229 Best cast-iron casserole dish: Le Creuset signature 26cm shallow casserole dish, from £149 Best chemical-free casserole dish: GreenPan 5.3-litre Featherweight casserole dish, £115 Jump to: Best casserole dishes to buy in 2026 Good Food in partnership wit…
