SHOPPERS could get a dupe of a highly sought-after cooking gadget at Aldi this month.
The supermarket chain is at it again with budget-friendly products that mirror some of the same features from luxury brands.

This continues with the Crofton Saute Pan in the cream color option.
Crofton is an Aldi-owned brand that specializes in cookware and kitchen products, crafting pots, pans, and bakeware among others with restaurant performance but at a low cost to consumers.
It’s only $19.99 on Aldi’s website and in-store in the Aldi Finds aisle for this week’s rotation.
Not to mention, it looks almost identical to the Caraway Saute Pan, also in cream coloring.
Except, Caraway’s kitchen essentials and cookware are particularly high-end, so the price point for its pan option is $145.
That’s about a $125 jump and may make shoppers seeking affordability wince.
BASICALLY TWINS
For those looking to save a little money in April, the Crofton Saute Pan is an excellent alternative.
The white ceramic non-stick interior and cream lilac exterior are nearly identical from the Crofton to the Caraway.
Even the silver handles on top of the lid share the same shape.
While Aldi doesn’t release many specifics on the Crofton Saute Pan, likely, it is also oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, similar to the Caraway.
Sizes for each also match up at 4.5-quart.
Where the Caraway may beat out the Crofton is its guarantee on non-toxic coatings or chemicals used in the construction of its saute pan.
It’s free of PTFE, PFOA, PFAS, and Heavy Metals, as per the product description.
Deciding between the Crofton and the Caraway will ultimately come down to customers’ budgets and personal preferences.
They should also decide quickly before Aldi Finds resets, as items are swapped in and out weekly.
STORAGE BONUS
Aldi also decided to bring back its beloved storage containers from Crofton in April.
The Crofton Cookie Storage Container and Crofton Flour Storage Container are discounted to $6.99 each.
Of course, there’s room to put other food items in the Cookie Storage Container aside from the dessert.
The Flour Storage container is more vertical and has measuring lines on the side for convenience.
Each has an airtight silicone seal and is dishwasher safe.
A fan-favorite cold foam flavor is also now on Aldi shelves for just $3.49.
There was even a new “gear” collection recently released at the retailer for prices starting at $1.49.
