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

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!
Melissa says
I would keep them! I’ve been wanting to switch to stainless steel, but can’t afford it right now.
Claire says
Wonderful! I just showed up here a couple of weeks ago and am loving mining all your goodness (and the updated site is perfect btw).
I would be selfish and keep this to myself, but I would re-gift all my still very servicable cookware to a needy nephew just starting out. Does that count for nice? I hope so.
Thank you for the chance to win!

I posted a link to the giveaway on Facebook!
Megan Camp says
Oh, I would LOVE to win this cookware. Every birthday and Christmas my husband says how he would love to buy me new cookware but we never have the money. The set I’m using I received as a gift for our wedding and it is definitely well worn (and has teflon scratching off). 🙂 What an awesome giveaway!!!
Kerrie says
I’d keep them, but we house share with family who are in town one week out of every four, so it would also be sharing. So many people would enjoy them!

Miranda says
I’d keep them for myself – I need good pans that are non-stick.
Kristin H. says
Now that my kids are 5 & 7, I can’t skip myself for a present anymore. I would definitely have my family give me this! (Plus, my extremely well used, cheap teflon pans are showing their age/use.)
Misty says
I would have to be selfish and keep them for myself! I have never had a new set of pot’s and pans. Everything I have has been given to me by someone in the family because they upgraded and didn’t know what to do with their old pans. It would be amazing to have this set!
Natalie says
I’ve already started baking- made apple spice cake today! I would give them to my mom. She is seriously overdue for new pots and pans. Plus, I would still get to use them sometimes 🙂
I tweeted the message also!
Stacey says
I would keep them. My pots and pans are all mismatch and are mostly non-stick. i need something of better quality:)
kathy w says
I would keep them. Our set of pans are a mismatch of whatever, so it would be wonderful to have a matched set. Great giveaway!
christine says
Yep! I would definitely keep this set and hand-down my “wedding pots&pans” to my little sister.
Jenny C. says
Would love to win these! I must confess I’d keep them for myself – I DO really need some quality pots and pans. Thanks for the giveaway! Jenny C.
Monica C says
I need a new set. My current ones have a coating on that can only be used with nylon your wooden utensils. Friends and family have accidentally ruined mine.
Jenny says
I would keep them. They look so beautiful and shiny. It would be a joy to cook in them. My pots have seen better days.
Deb says
I’d love a set of new pots and pans! Many of ours date from our wedding and are being replaced piecemeal as the handles get too wobbly, or the finish gets too worn out to use.
Alice @ Farewell, Office. says
Cooking is my stress relief & so selfishly I would use them for myself. Oh beautiful, beautiful pots!
Melanie says
I would keep them. Most of my pans are cast iron. I love them, but stainless steel has advantages so diversity will be nice.
Deni says
I would keep the set for myself, I’ve had my current set for over 20 years!
AnneG says
I would keep this set for myself – and I would then give my current set, which is OK, to my son who is moving out soon.
Julie Thorn says
I would be totally selfish and keep these for myself. I am posting on fb as well.
Janis says
I left a comment about the give away on facebook.
Janis says
Boy, could I use this cookware set. My pots and pans are really, really old.
Jeannie says
I totally tweeted about the give away too!
Jeannie says
I’d definitely keep them.
Jackie B says
I left a comment via twitter! (pigasaurusrex)
Jackie B says
I would keep them for myself, but use them to cook/bake for others!!
Ruth says
Wow, I have to leave a comment here! I’d keep them, no doubt about it. Say hi to baby Dekker for me. I could use them to cook you some food after baby arrives! 🙂 Te he he…
Holly F. says
I would be selfish. I’ve had the same set of pans for about 20 years now. It’s time to upgrade, but it’s not in the budget. We are remodeling a home too!
Megan d says
For me! My set I got for our wedding 5 years ago is starting to leave that nasty Teflon behind :(. If only I had known what I know now!!
Joy says
I would love these pans but I might be willing to share some of the pieces. 🙂
Brandi says
Are you kidding? I would totally keep these for myself! I have 5 kids and cook all the time…plus, my current set consists of hand-me-downs and worn out Teflon from wedding gifts we received 15 years ago. Time for a new set! Great giveaway…thanks for the entry!
Shelly says
Oh my I left the comment on the wrong post,sorry! This is the right one. I would use these pots for the upcoming holiday cooking. They are beautiful. Love all the changes to your site. Keep up the wonderful posts.
Nancy says
I would definitely keep them for myself. I am currently at home with my newborn and I’m taking more time now to try new recipes. These would be very nice to have.
Sandy says
I follow and commented on FB, too.
Sandy says
My pans are from shower gifts from my mom, 34 years ago. They have a few dents and a missing lid. They also are not built for oven use. I’d love this new set!
kristen marie says
YESSS!!!! WOULD LOOOOVED to give this as a gift (to a family) who could seriously use them!
Julianne says
I would probably use a few and give the rest away as gifts! They are beautiful!
Kiely says
To be completely honest, I would keep them for myself! Thanks for the great giveaway!
