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!
Elena says
I would have to be selfish….because I’ve been wanting a set like this one for a very LONG time. Great giveaway…thanks!!
Crystal Creamer says
This would be so nice to win this stainless steel cookware set. I have an old set of cookware that needs replacing from being worn out and it’s got the non stick coating which turns out to be bad for your health. So I’ve been wanting to replace my cookware for awhile just haven’t had being able to afford it . Was going to ask my inlaws for a new cookware set for Christmas. This would be an early Christmas present if I could win. I love to cook and bake healthy vegan food for my family and friends so the set would get lots of usage at our home. Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful set of cookware. Also I tweeted about this giveaway on twitter.

dena says
I would definitely use these for myself, but so many others (who I would cook meals for) would benefit from my use of them! thank you so much!
Heidi Weispfenning says
I’ve got a set of steel cookware, but my daughter is setting up house and these would be perfect for her, so I’d give them to her as a gift. I also tweeted about it at http://twitter.com/#!/deadrose23/status/120330858874945537
Renee says
I must admit that I would use these pans for myself. Currently I’ve got pans that are dented, handles that have fallen off and lids that are missing. A new set of pans would be wonderful!
Ann says
I also put your message on facebook so now I just reduced my chances of winning but gave all my friends a great tip!
Ann says
I must admit, I’d keep them for myself and give away some of my other pans to others. I have been longing for a pan that can go from the stove to the oven. And I’m sick of the teflon flecks!

Amy says
I have to say that I would keep them. I have had the same {not-so-great} set for 10 years, and I’m drooling over these!
MaryBeth says
Awesome giveaway! I would keep most of them and give a few pieces to my son. We share a love of cooking, so I’d want to share with him.
oneshabbychick says

Shelley says
I would love such an awesome set for myself. I have a very old set of pans and have been drooling over some very nice sets at the store, but cant make myself spend the money.
KimH says
I’d keep that gorgeous set of pans for myself. I have an ancient set that part was my grandmothers 40 or so years ago, and I have a nice set of Caphalon but I really prefer to use stainless steel all the time, but havent invested in a really nice set.
KimH says
Just posted your line & link on Facebook. My name there is Kim Roberts.
Becca @ Crumbs and Chaos says

I absolutely LOVE these pans! They’re beautiful.. and we could really use them, too.
Hilary says
I would love this new set because I love to cook for my family and friends and I’m still using the same set of pots and pans we received as wedding gifts over 25 years ago! It would be great fun to have a new set with the lovely features that you described!
Donna G says
I would be selfish and keep them for myself. But I would give most of my current set to my mom, since it’s still in very good condition. I just want to get away from non-stick coatings.
Suzanne says
I, like another reader, would use these myself and give my current set to a friend. ๐
Karen HL says
I would keep them and share a piece or two with my daughter. I am new to your site and enjoy reading it and sharing the site with my daughter and my 3 daughter in laws. Thanks and Blessings, Karen
goldengirl says
Wow! Those are beauties! With a daughter who will graduate from college soon and set out on her own (and often calls for cooking advice) these would be the perfect pans for her!
klutzymama says
I would definitely keep them. My pots & pans collection is pathetic at best. ๐
Melissa says
I would love to cook with these! I need to get rid of my Teflon ones for a healthier option.
Fiona says
I’ve been married 24 years, and have quite an old-fashioned, well-loved set of cookware. These new modern pans look very practical and would suit any kitchen. I’m in the kitchen a lot. and I know my existing set is rather the worse for wear. To replace them would be a very costly issue indeed There’s always a family member who needs something else, and so I continue to make do… I’ve had a new set on my wish list for years…I’d love to cross it off!

My teflon pans are in ruins! The man in my life would be very happy if “Santa” crossed these off my wishlist for him. lol
