Best Roast Dinner Bundle
This premium bundle represents the pinnacle of roasting equipment, combining exceptional craftsmanship from renowned manufacturers with cutting-edge technology for professional-grade results at home. At its foundation is the Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel Rectangular Roaster—a versatile, multi-layered roasting pan that works on all hobs including induction and in the oven to 260°C. Combined with advanced wireless monitoring via the Meater Pro thermometer (heat resistant to 550°C with laboratory-tested accuracy), traditional French carving excellence from Lion Sabatier's 1812 heritage design, a professional-grade Epicurean chopping board, and Le Creuset's Heritage gravy boat, this collection delivers restaurant-quality capabilities for discerning home cooks.
What distinguishes this bundle from standard roasting equipment is the exceptional pedigree of each component. Le Creuset's 3-ply construction bonds premium stainless steel with an aluminium core for unmatched heat distribution—the roaster performs equally well on hobs for gravy-making as it does in ovens for roasting. The Meater Pro represents the most advanced wireless thermometer available, with Smart Temp™ Multisensor technology, five internal sensors, and a Certificate of Calibration confirming ±0.3°C accuracy. The Lion Sabatier Ideal carving set embodies over 200 years of French knife-making expertise, featuring full tang construction, N4116 Nitro+ steel, and the iconic 1812 design profile. The Le Creuset Heritage gravy boat in sophisticated Meringue provides the brand's legendary temperature retention and 10-year guarantee. Together, these pieces form a comprehensive system where each component represents the finest available in its category.

What Customers Ask About the Best Roast Dinner Bundle
What makes this bundle "best" compared to other roasting bundles?
This bundle features premium components from renowned manufacturers rather than entry-level alternatives. The Le Creuset roaster offers 3-ply construction and lifetime guarantee versus standard aluminium. The Meater Pro provides extreme heat resistance (550°C vs 275°C), laboratory-tested accuracy with calibration certificate, and waterproof construction versus the standard Meater Plus. The Lion Sabatier carving set represents 200+ years of French knife-making heritage with full tang construction and lifetime warranty. The Le Creuset gravy boat offers superior temperature retention and 10-year guarantee. Every component represents the finest available in its category, delivering professional-grade performance that justifies the premium investment through superior results and exceptional longevity.
Why does the Meater Pro cost significantly more than the Meater Plus?
The Meater Pro offers substantial technological advances: extreme heat resistance to 550°C allowing direct flame contact (versus 275°C ambient for Plus), Smart Temp™ Multisensor with five internal sensors finding true lowest temperature (versus two sensors), laboratory-tested ±0.3°C accuracy with individual Certificate of Calibration, Bluetooth 5.2 Long Range technology, fully waterproof IP68 rating for sous vide and dishwasher cleaning, fast-charging capabilities, and zirconia ceramic band construction. It's designed for serious cooks who demand professional-level accuracy and durability, not casual users. The technology and build quality justify the premium for those who need precision and versatility.
Can I use the Le Creuset roaster on my induction hob?
Yes, the 3-ply stainless steel construction makes this roaster compatible with all hob types including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. This versatility is particularly valuable for making gravy directly in the roaster after removing the meat—you can place it on your hob, deglaze with wine or stock, and create rich gravy from the concentrated drippings without transferring to a separate pan. The stainless steel exterior ensures reliable induction detection whilst the aluminium core provides even heat distribution. Avoid using the 'boost' function on induction for this product.
Is the Lion Sabatier carving set genuinely better than cheaper alternatives?
Absolutely. The full tang construction (blade extends completely through handle) provides superior balance, strength, and longevity compared to partial tang cheaper sets where blades can loosen or separate. The N4116 Nitro+ French steel offers excellent edge retention whilst remaining easy to sharpen—cheaper sets use generic stainless that dulls quickly. The 58 HRC hardness represents the optimal balance for carving knives. The POM handles won't crack or warp like cheaper materials. The lifetime warranty demonstrates manufacturer confidence. Most importantly, the cutting performance is noticeably superior—cleaner slices through roasted meat without tearing, maintaining sharpness far longer between sharpenings. The 1812 traditional design adds heritage value.
Can the Meater Pro really withstand 550°C and direct flame?
Yes, the Meater Pro is specifically engineered for extreme heat environments. The stainless steel construction with zirconia ceramic band allows direct flame contact and temperatures up to 550°C—far beyond standard roasting temperatures. This makes it suitable for searing steaks over direct flame, deep frying, smoking at high temperatures, or any cooking method involving extreme heat. The technology is designed for professional kitchens and serious home cooking where versatility matters. Standard thermometers fail in these conditions, but the Meater Pro's robust construction and materials handle extreme environments whilst maintaining accuracy. Each unit includes a Certificate of Calibration confirming accuracy.
Do I need to hand wash everything in this bundle?
Not everything. The Le Creuset roaster and gravy boat are both dishwasher safe. The Meater Pro probe is fully waterproof and easy to hand wash. The Epicurean chopping board is dishwasher safe. However, the Lion Sabatier carving set requires hand washing—quality knives should never go in dishwashers as harsh detergents, high heat, and water pressure damage blades and handles. The Eddingtons roasting rack requires hand washing to preserve its non-stick coating. In summary: four items are dishwasher safe (roaster, thermometer, board, gravy boat), two require hand washing (carving set, roasting rack).
Professional Roasting Technique
In our 52 years helping customers select roasting equipment, we've observed that achieving restaurant-quality results at home depends on three critical factors: even heat distribution during cooking, accurate temperature monitoring, and proper resting and carving technique. This bundle addresses all three systematically.
The Le Creuset 3-ply roaster's construction ensures even heat distribution without hot spots—the aluminium core conducts heat efficiently whilst the stainless steel provides durability and hob compatibility. This even heating prevents the common problem of roasts cooking unevenly, where meat near pan edges overcooks whilst the centre remains underdone. The Meater Pro eliminates the guesswork about doneness—its five internal sensors find the true lowest temperature, accounting for temperature variations within the meat. The laboratory-tested ±0.3°C accuracy means you can confidently cook to precise targets.
Perhaps most underestimated is the importance of proper carving tools. The Lion Sabatier set's exceptional sharpness and full tang balance allow clean, confident slicing that preserves the meat's structure and appearance. Dull carving knives tear fibres, release juices, and create ragged slices that undermine presentation despite perfect cooking. Professional kitchens invest heavily in quality carving tools because presentation matters as much as cooking—this bundle provides that professional capability at home.

Care & Use Instructions for Bundle Items
Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel Roaster
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Condition the interior by rubbing vegetable or corn oil over the entire surface with paper towels, then rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly. For first-time frying, add vegetable or corn oil to cover the base, heat gently whilst rotating to coat the inner walls, remove from heat, cool, then clean with paper towels.
Cooking: Use appropriately sized hob rings to ensure even cooking and prevent handle damage. Heat gradually on medium or low heat—even for frying and searing. The 3-ply construction heats efficiently, so high temperatures are rarely necessary. Once desired heat is reached, lower the setting. If adding salt, add it to hot liquid or food rather than directly onto the stainless steel surface to avoid potential pitting. When roasting, place on an oven shelf or rack, never on the oven floor where temperatures are higher and less controlled. When using under grills, maintain at least 5cm gap between heat source and roaster top.
Cleaning: Allow roaster to cool for several minutes before cleaning—never plunge hot stainless steel into cold water, as extreme temperature changes can cause warping. Whilst dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water preserves appearance and performance longer. For stuck-on food, soak in warm, soapy water before washing. For stubborn stains or discolouration, use specialist stainless steel cleaner following product instructions.
Eddingtons Roasting Rack
Care: Hand wash in warm, soapy water using soft sponges or cloths. The non-stick coating allows easy cleaning without vigorous scrubbing. Never use abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners that scratch and damage the coating. Whilst the rack might survive occasional dishwasher cycles, repeated exposure gradually deteriorates the non-stick properties. Allow rack to cool completely before washing. Dry thoroughly and store in a location where it won't get scratched by other equipment.
Meater Pro Thermometer
Setup: Download the MEATER app to your smartphone or tablet. Charge the probe using the bamboo charger—just 5 minutes provides 2 hours of cooking time, whilst a full charge lasts 24+ hours. Insert one AAA battery into the charger (lasts up to 2 years with average use). The magnetic charger backing allows convenient placement on any metal surface.
Using: Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, ensuring the internal sensors reach the centre. The Smart Temp™ technology with five internal sensors finds the true lowest temperature automatically. Place meat in oven, grill, smoker, or even directly over flame—the probe withstands temperatures to 550°C. Monitor progress via the app, which provides customisable alerts and cooking guidance. The Bluetooth 5.2 Long Range technology maintains connection throughout your home.
Cleaning: The Meater Pro is fully waterproof and dishwasher safe. After each use, either wipe clean or place in dishwasher. The waterproof construction also makes it suitable for sous vide cooking where the probe remains submerged. Store in the bamboo charger, which automatically recharges the probe between uses.
Lion Sabatier Carving Set
Critical care: Never put these knives in the dishwasher. High temperatures, harsh detergents, and water jets damage Damascus steel blades and POM handles. Hand wash immediately after use in warm, soapy water using soft cloths or sponges. Avoid abrasive scrubbers on blades. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with clean tea towels—never leave to air dry. Pay particular attention to drying around the bolster and brass rivets where water collects.
Maintaining sharpness: Before each use, run the blade along a honing steel 3-4 times per side at approximately 13-15 degrees. This realigns the edge between proper sharpenings. When the knife no longer responds well to steeling (typically after several months), it needs proper sharpening using whetstones or professional services. The N4116 Nitro+ steel at 58 HRC is designed to be easy to sharpen whilst holding its edge well. Always use appropriate cutting surfaces—the included Epicurean board is ideal. Never cut on ceramic, glass, stone, or metal surfaces.
Storage: Store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a drawer with blade guards. Never store loose with other utensils. The brass rivets may develop a natural patina over time, which adds character—polish with brass cleaner if you prefer bright brass appearance.
Epicurean Chopping Board
Care: Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is equally simple. The nonporous surface resists bacteria, won't retain odours, and the natural colour won't fade. This board combines the hygienic properties of plastic with the knife-friendly characteristics of wood, providing an ideal surface for the Lion Sabatier carving set.
Le Creuset Heritage Gravy Boat
Before first use: Remove all packaging and wash in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Using: The specialist stoneware maintains even temperature, keeping sauces warmer for longer during serving. The deep spout allows accurate, drip-free pouring. The large comfortable handle provides steady grip even when the gravy boat is full. The thermoresistant properties (-23°C to +260°C) mean you can use it for hot gravies straight from warming or cold sauces from the fridge.
Oven use: If warming gravy in the oven, always use oven gloves when handling—stoneware retains heat exceptionally well. When using under grills, maintain at least 6.5cm gap between heat source and top of gravy boat. If heating frozen contents, place in cold oven and heat gradually together rather than placing frozen gravy boat in preheated oven. For room temperature contents, don't preheat oven above 205°C.
Cleaning: Wait for gravy boat to cool before cleaning. Wipe away leftovers. For stuck-on food, fill with warm, soapy water and soak for 15-20 minutes before washing. Hand wash or place in dishwasher for full cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its pristine appearance through years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used items from the bundle and they don't meet expectations?
Return them anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items—if they don't deliver the professional-grade results promised, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've roasted meat, carved with the knives, or used the thermometer multiple times. We've offered this guarantee since 1972 because premium equipment should exceed expectations, not create buyer's remorse.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work for this bundle?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date for each item. If you accidentally damage any piece (scratch the roaster, chip the carving knife, crack the gravy boat, etc.), we'll replace that specific item at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This supplements the manufacturers' lifetime and 10-year guarantees, providing comprehensive protection for everyday use where accidents happen despite careful handling.
Why is this bundle significantly more expensive than the Good Roast Dinner Bundle?
This bundle features premium upgrades across every component. Le Creuset's 3-ply roaster (versus Samuel Groves hard anodised) offers hob versatility including induction, stainless steel durability, and lifetime guarantee. Meater Pro (versus Meater Plus) provides extreme heat resistance to 550°C, five internal sensors with laboratory-tested accuracy, waterproof construction, and Certificate of Calibration. Lion Sabatier (versus Grunwerg) offers French heritage dating to 1812, full tang construction, and lifetime warranty. Le Creuset gravy boat (versus Jamie Oliver) provides superior temperature retention, 10-year guarantee, and iconic three-ring design. The premium represents exceptional quality from renowned manufacturers with comprehensive warranties, delivering professional-grade performance that justifies the investment through superior results and exceptional longevity.
Can I use the Le Creuset roaster for making gravy on the hob?
Yes, this is one of the roaster's significant advantages. After removing the meat, place the roaster directly on your hob (including induction), add wine or stock to deglaze, scrape up the flavourful fond, and create rich gravy without transferring drippings to a separate pan. The 3-ply construction ensures even heating without hot spots. This hob-to-oven versatility eliminates the need for multiple pans and preserves all the concentrated roasting flavours in one vessel. Use medium heat and avoid the 'boost' function on induction hobs.
Is the Meater Pro Certificate of Calibration important?
Yes, it confirms that your specific thermometer has been laboratory-tested for accuracy before shipping. Each Meater Pro is individually calibrated and tested to ensure it meets the ±0.3°C accuracy specification. The certificate provides the actual test results for your unit, demonstrating professional-grade precision. This level of quality control is typically found only in professional or scientific instruments, not consumer cooking equipment. For serious cooks who demand reliable accuracy, the calibration certificate provides confidence that temperature readings are trustworthy.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill. We pack premium items like Le Creuset and Lion Sabatier carefully to prevent damage during transit.
Will the Meater Pro work with my iPhone/Android phone?
The MEATER app supports both iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android devices. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Your device needs Bluetooth capability to connect to the Meater Pro. The Bluetooth 5.2 Long Range technology provides extended connectivity throughout your home. For even greater range, Meater Link WiFi extends monitoring to virtually anywhere via the Meater Cloud, allowing you to monitor your roast even when away from home.
How often will the Lion Sabatier carving set need sharpening?
With regular honing before each use (3-4 passes per side on a steel), the knife typically needs proper sharpening every 6-12 months with regular use. The N4116 Nitro+ steel at 58 HRC hardness is specifically chosen for its balance—it holds an edge significantly longer than softer steels whilst remaining easy to sharpen at home or professionally. Many customers find they sharpen annually or even less frequently with occasional use. The full tang construction and quality steel mean this set should provide decades of reliable service with proper maintenance.
What makes the Le Creuset gravy boat worth the premium over standard options?
Le Creuset's specialist stoneware provides exceptional temperature retention—hot gravy stays warmer significantly longer during leisurely meals, whilst cold sauces remain chilled. The deep spout design delivers truly drip-free pouring through careful engineering. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains pristine appearance through years of use. The thermoresistant properties (-23°C to +260°C) allow versatile use from freezer through oven. The 10-year guarantee demonstrates confidence in quality. The iconic three-ring design coordinates with Le Creuset cast iron if you own other pieces. Most importantly, the superior craftsmanship and materials mean this gravy boat should last decades rather than years, justifying the premium through longevity and consistent performance.
Is this bundle suitable for someone new to roasting?
This bundle suits serious cooks regardless of experience level, but it represents substantial investment that may be excessive for casual or occasional roasting. If you're new to roasting and uncertain about commitment, consider our Good Roast Dinner Bundle which offers excellent quality at lower cost. However, if you're passionate about cooking, appreciate premium equipment, and want tools that will last decades whilst delivering professional-grade results, this bundle eliminates the need for future upgrades—you're investing in the finest equipment available from the start. The Meater Pro's guided cooking features are particularly helpful for developing roasting skills through precise feedback.
