Emma Bridgewater Christmas Toast & Marmalade Enamel Roasting Dish With Handles, 40cm

This roasting dish is perfect for everything from pigs in blankets to roast potatoes, plus it's pretty enough to go straight onto the table to double as a serving dish. It comes in a smaller size, too, which we really like for festive puddings and traybakes.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday is just a week away on Friday 29 November, with Cyber Monday coming the following week on Monday 2 December. Although the big day hasn't come round yet, lots of retailers have already gone live with their deals.

Usually Black Friday falls earlier in November since it follows Thanksgiving, and it's very unusual for Cyber Monday to occur in December. This makes it much closer to the festive period than on other years, so it is a great time to save on all things Christmas, from decorations to gifts and cookware.
