UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
Congrats to Jenny {orosco99@…} out of over 300 Facebook and WordPress comments, you were randomly selected as the winner!! I will email you today to get your information!
During the cooler fall months, I become obsessed with cooking and baking!
Tell me you can relate?
I’ve already posted several recipes for my favorite Fall soups, desserts, snacks, a very simple roasting tutorial {that you really need to try} and I know I’ll be posting several more Fall and Holiday favorites over the next couple of months — so be on the look out!
My recent obsession with cooking and baking is due to several factors:
1. I don’t need to turn my air conditioning on to use the stove and oven all day
2. All the delicious comfort foods just sounds SO good this time of year
3. I’m told that women who are almost 8 months pregnant start to “nest” and become addicted to cleaning, cooking, baking, etc!! Yup, that’s me 🙂
4. I got a brand new set of Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel Cookware — and of course I had to test out every piece multiple times!
What I love about the Anolon Stainless Steal:
1. Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is that they look absolutely AMAZING sitting on my stove top {especially now that it’s clean} or anywhere else. I’ve actually thought about leaving a few of them out all the time just because they are so pretty!
2. Second, I know I’m cooking with much healthier tools because I don’t have to use much oil or butter {only if I want to!!}, and I don’t have to worry about tiny bits of Teflon scraping off into our food.
3. Third, this cookware was designed for home cooks who enjoy using pro-style stainless steel equipment, but at a more affordable price and with more practicality of traditional non-stick!
The non-reactive stainless steel interior surface won’t react with acidic foods and provides the ideal surface for searing and sautéing foods at high temperatures. The mirror-polished stainless steel exterior includes a magnetic stainless steel base enhanced with a layer of copper to deliver fast and even heating, as well as ensure compatibility with all cooktops, including energy-efficient induction burners.
4. Fourth, these pans are oven AND dishwasher safe!!! Need I say more 🙂
So are you drooling yet?
Good, because you have a chance to win a full 10-piece set of this gorgeous cookware!!!
The Giveaway:
1.25 qt. Saucepan and lid
2.5 qt. Sauce pan and lid
3 qt. Saute pan and lid
6.5 qt. Stock pot and lid
8″ Skillet
10″ Skillet
This is an amazing giveaway {valued at over $300} and I just know you’ll love this set as much as I do!
Enter to Win:
Simply leave a comment telling me if you would use these pans for yourself OR if you would give them as a gift this holiday season — and it’s OK to be “selfish”!
This contest is open until Monday, October 3, 2011, at 10:00 pm EST. ONE winner will be selected at random and announced later that week. Please read my full disclosure policy and contact me with any questions you might have. I received a complimentary set of cookware for review, however all opinions are my own!

This is an exceptional giveaway! I love to cook and bake and would like to have these pots and pans.
Deborah in Atlanta says
At the very END of your post, you asked “So are you drooling yet?”. I was drooling when I saw the photo at the top of your blog and the words “Giveaway”. Awesome pots and pans. And if I won, yessiree, they’d be MINE. I think I got my pots and pans when I got married 38 years ago. Definitely time for an update. I’d be jumping for joy and squealing at the top of my voice if I won.
Miranda says
I would definitely use them myself. I’m 8 months pregnant also and attempting to phase out all of our old non-stick, yucky pans before the baby arrives. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!
Sarah Joy says
They are so pretty! I would love a new set. We got a set when we got married 3 years ago, but some of the lids don’t fit right. It would be great to have a new complete set! I also LOVE to bake and cook this time of year ๐
Sarah says
I have some great cookware, but I know several people who would really be blessed by these as a gift. I would love to give them away to a friend in need.
Raquel says
Wow! Beautiful! I would keep most of the pieces for myself and save a couple for my daughter who will be graduating from college soon.
Suzie says
It would be wonderful to have matching cookware and it sounds like this is some good quality stuff! I would give away my pans and keep these!
Karen says
I would use them! Love that they are dishwasher safe.
Holly says
I would love to win these. I currently have a mismatched set of pots and pans but I really need to upgrade. I need to cook at home more but it’s hard to get motivated when you don’t have the right tools. As a single mom with two teenage boys it seems like we’re always on the go and we end up eating out way too often, I think if I had some nice cookware I could get motivated to cook some meals ahead of time on the weekends.
Amy from Texas says
I would keep them, maybe. Or, I might give them away. Who knows.
Vikki says
Wow, what a giveaway! I would keep them for myself. We’re eating teflon. (: I love that they are oven and dishwasher safe! Thanks so much.

Jess says
I’d do both – keep some of the saucepans since we are limited in those, but I have fry pans up to my ears so I’d probably pass those onto my parents, who could use some new cookware.
Donna O'Neil says
I would love to have this set! I am always obsessed with cooking! When I was 8-9 months pregnant I cooked some crazy stuff. I remember cooking Duck ร l’Orange for my husbands b-day when my contractions started.
Angie G. says
I would love to add this cookware to my collection! Thanks for the chance to win!
Leslie says
I would love this set. My hubby had just bought a set of cookware before we met so we didn’t get new for our wedding. The set is starting to wear and a new set as lovely as this would be fabulous!!!
Nan Spivey says
Would love to have this wonderful set! So many fun things to cook over the winter months!!
James Watts says
I would give them to my wife. She would really love me lol!

Andrea Watts says
I would use them for myself! I am desperate for some new pans. Mine are cheap, used, stained and mismatched!
Laura Curtis says
I’d give this set.. If I win them!!.. to my dad. Right now he lives in an apt & buys mostly fast food. He is working on buying a house & this would be the perfect gift for him to get back in the mood of cooking & eating healthier!

Amy Hervey says
Umm, I would definitely keep them for myself. I’m the only person I know who loves to cook, really. Also, I shared on facebook, only the link doesn’t work.
Krissy says
I would keep these for myself! I have mismatched pans that are now almost 20 years old! This would be such a nice “upgrade” for me to use while doing all the cooking for our family of 5!
Troy says
Would keep these to use at home.
Kathie says
This is a hard decision, but I think I would give them to my youngest daughter. She has 3 little girls that love to help her cook and she is in need of a new set. Thanks for the give away!!!
Danielle says
I would LOVE to have these! I have a basic set of T-Fal pots and pans, mixed with some random pieces from Target that scream “single gal who burns stuff”. Thing is, I am now “married woman who loves making new things” and trying to make the fabulous recipes I see on your site would be considerably easier with some new cookware ๐
Kecia says
I would totally keep these for ME! We are actually shopping for a new one right now as ours has been ruined by the dishwasher. Dishwasher safe is HUGE for us!!
Niurka says
I would use for my house.

Amy A. says
I would have to keep these pretties for myself!
Summer B says
We are in need of new cook ware. These look ideal!!
Brenda says
I’m drooling . .
I cook 4 meals a day (growing boys) every day. We are not restaurant fans and I do not like the chemicals of Teflon. I would love stainless steel pans!
Lindsey T says
I would definitely keep them for my husband and I! I loveeee to cook, such a great giveaway. Thanks also for the loads of fabulous recipes you post, Andrea!
Jennifer T. says
These are great! I would use them to make some yummy food for my family of 8 (my in-laws live with us).

I would give this as a gift to my step mom or sister in law – they have awful pots & pans that make me crinch every time I eat at their houses!
Jenn W says
Wow!! What a great giveaway!! We would keep these for ourselves as we are SO in need of a new set of pots and pans. Thanks so much for offering these!! ๐
Laura says
What a fantastic giveaway! I would keep these for myself. My old pans are, well, old, and very worn. I’d love to try stainless cookware!!
