A spokesperson for the retail giant added: “the hard wearing design ensures durability, while the heavyweight cast iron promises even heat distribution from slow-simmering stews to hearty casseroles.”
The pots hope to bring a luxurious feel to home cooking, without the hefty price tag.
They continued: “This cookware brings a premium feel to every kitchen.
“Whether hosting a wholesome family dinner or serving up a midweek one-pot warmer after a cold commute, these pieces deliver comfort cooking made easy this festive season.”
The rich burgundy design with a gold handle brings a sense of indulgence to every meal.
The supermarket warns that the pots will be snapped up quickly from stores across the country.
“With high end looks at brilliantly affordable prices, these kitchen heroes won’t stay on the shelves for long.”
The cast iron cookware is also available online through the George website.
Asda’s previous cast iron cookware received rave reviews from shoppers.
One user said the stock pot was “great quality, rival to other brands. Great value for money even purchased one for my sister.”
Another added that they used the dish for making sourdough and that it had the weight of a more expensive brand.
For another supermarket dupe check out this own-brand liqueur said to be just as good as Bailey’s for a third of the price.
After a blind taste test, tasters were unable to tell the difference between the supermarket’s budget bottle and Bailey’s.

How to save money on your food shop
Chief Consumer Reporter James Flanders reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes – plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury’s also sells £2 “Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me” fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps – food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go’s app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains – yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains – sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they’ve found on the cheap, including food finds.
“Downshift” – you will almost always save money going for a supermarket’s own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as “downshifting” and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.
