Aldi <\/a>to deliver a 13-piece limited-edition collection for the kitchen. <\/p>\nIt\u2019s a secret the former MasterChef contestant has been quietly guarding for the last year. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited. I have had it for a while now because I\u2019ve been testing it and I just love it,\u201d Ms de Sousa told news.com.au. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was just bursting to tell everybody. I just knew people were going to love it and they were going to love the colour.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a dreamy, pastel colour palette and nods to some charactertistics that her loving fans will appreciate. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think there are a few little fun little quirks in there that people who are my followers will really know,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a couple of references to my glasses. There\u2019s also some references to my catchphrase, which is \u2018mixy mixy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The collection includes a 5L $49.99 cast aluminium pot and a $29.99 roasting pot that are dishwasher and oven-safe, suitable for all stovetops and available in three different colours. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can cook anything in [them] from boiling pasta or rice to making a steak, to making a slow-cooked stew in the oven in the one pot,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can go straight from the oven and put it on my table, and it will look beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms de Sousa believes the lightweight items are the perfect fit for any kitchen, but even more so for renters who might be presented with a different oven each move.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne minute they\u2019ve got an induction cooktop, the next minute they\u2019ve got a gas cooktop. You\u2019re not going to buy specific cookware just if you\u2019ve only got a six-month lease, are you? So, this is perfect because it covers all those bases,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a variety of utensils up for grabs starting from $4.99 to make cooking not just more affordable, but also a fun escape from sad stainless steel options. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s all anybody offers, nobody offers anything else. I have never seen a range of cookware that is bright and colourful like this before.\u201d <\/p>\n
Budget was also a crucial factor, with a desire to bring affordable cookware to Aussies who want to be creative without breaking the bank. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to spend $300 on a pan to call yourself a cook,\u201d she pointed out. <\/p>\n
The announcement has already been met with a wave of excitement after the chef shared the news online this week. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh, gosh. I\u2019m so excited. I can\u2019t wait! I\u2019ve been wanting to refresh my cookware,\u201d one commenter said. <\/p>\n
\u201cINSANELY COOL I\u2019ll take ONE IN EVERY COLOUR!\u201d another declared. <\/p>\n
A third affectionately dubbed the range as \u201ckitchen jewellery\u201d.<\/p>\n
The collection will arrive in Aldi\u2019s middle aisle from Wednesday, July 22, with items only available while stocks last. <\/p>\n
Ms de Sousa has had her very own Special Buys battles and has a few words of wisdom for shoppers keen to get their hands on the hot items. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am a catalogue cruiser. I always have the latest catalogue, and I always go through it, and if there\u2019s something in there that I really know that I really want, I\u2019m just there [at Aldi] first up,\u201d she says <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve just got to get there the day that it comes out\u2026 you have to be on it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you can\u2019t handle the heat, get out of Aldi\u2019s middle aisle.
