My Facebook friends and followers have spoken, once again. Y'all can be quite opinionated when you want something. And I like that!
When I offered up the giveaway options for this month, it was a pretty close call. Some wanted the BOGS. Some wanted the Lodge Cast Iron Bundle. And yet others wanted the super radical food processor. Alas, only one can be chosen this month – and the Lodge fans were just so dang vocal! So this month's giveaway is for a Lodge 5-piece cook set. Included is aย 10-1/2-Inch round griddle, 8-Inch skillet, 10-1/4-Inch skillet, 5-Quart dutch oven and 10-1/4-Inch iron cover.
January is a pretty fun month to give away this Lodge set too – it's the time of the year for deep, delicious, warm cookin'. Perfect sort of cookin' for a cast iron!
In cast iron skillets, you can make goodness like this dutch baby pancake:
Or this stuffed acorn squash pilaf:
Or even this delicious bread!:
We use our cast iron skillets every single day – be it for frying eggs, sauteeing onions, heating up leftovers (no microwave for us, baby), or caramelizing apples. It's ย all done in the skillet. And it's all the better for it! But who am I convincing here – y'all voted! You know how radical these things are. So let's get to it, shall we? I will announce the winner the day after the giveaway ends right here on this post – so be sure to check back at the end of the month to see if you've won! Winner has 48 hours to contact me via email to claim the prize.
Good luck, my friends! And happy cooking!

I Love cast iron!!!!!!
Holly
Honestly I am a bit intimidated by cast iron. I haven’t ever cooked with it but have thought about it often. The first thing I would love to cook up in that skillet is some tortillas. I make these gordita style tortillas, nice and thick, and cooking them in a cast iron skillet would make them that much more authentic! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Lisa
Love your blog!! Would love to win this! Thanks.
Kelli @ The Sustainable Couple
I’d fry eggs with a little cayenne pepper, after I’ve cooked some bacon, of course. ๐
Sarah
Fajitas. Lots of fajitas. I would seriously just throw out my old set of pots and pans and use this FOR EVERYTHING. Oh! And dutch apple pancakes! And maple-soaked french toast! And I would try out some cinnamon rolls! How’s that for salivation? ๐ Love this blog and you! Thanks so much for sharing ๐

We cook all sorts of stuff in them! Basically it’s the only frying pan we use, so eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, etc… are cooked in it. Also, I love to cook my shepherd’s pie in cast iron(got that idea from you!) and I don’t think anything can beat cornbread made from fresh ground corn in a cast iron pan cooked in a woodstove. ๐
Lacy Watkins
Would love to win this set!!
Evelyn

One of my favorite things to make in cast iron is chicken thighs, cooked in butter with garlic and my homemade poultry seasoning, with a splash of lemon juice. Yum!
Christina
I’d make just about everything I cook, Maybe I’d make a delicious chicken pot pie or my husband’s fav Chillli. I only have 1 cast iron pan right now so its difficult to cook what I want because its quite small, so the possibilites are endless!
Hannah
Honestly, I bought this set in November and have been using it multiple times per day ever since! I would love to win this set and give it to my parents as they are dying for a set too. I can honestly say I’ve never had such good corn bread as comes out of the CI skillet.

EVERYTHING is better cooked or baked in cast iron! I just had the best pancakes of my life on New Year’s Dayโฆmade in a giant cast iron pan. Yummy!!
Glenna
I have wonderful memories of spending time with my grandmother in her farmhouse kitchen during my adolescent years in the 60’s. The meals she taught me to prepare on a wood burning cook stove in cast iron pots and pans produced such a unique flavor. Sadly, the standard kitchens of today make duplicating the taste of those recipes impossible. Seeing a resurgence in cast iron makes me smile and makes me want to go back to my roots. Grandma would be proud.
Jennifer
We are transitioning away from all plastics, teflon and anything bad for us. We can definitely use this!!
Lanie
I love cast iron cookware!

Nicole
Oh I would just love this! Slowly switching over. Pick me!!!! ๐
Lindsey Thomas
I just got my first cast iron skillet and I love it so far. I definitely need more! My favorite thing I’ve cooked so far are simple potatoes fried in butter. The cast iron makes gives it a golden crisp crust that you just can’t get with other skillets. Believe, I tried a second batch in a different skillet at the same time.
Jan
This would be so wonderful to give my daughter who is getting married.
Hannelie
I would love to bake bread in my cast iron
Kristal
I learned that carmelizing onions goes super fast when using cast iron. I would love to use the dutch oven for making homemade french onion soup! And a ton of other things!!!
loril
Love cooking with cast iron
Kailyn
I have dreamed of baking big, crusty loaves of no-knead bread and cast iron is the only thing that can do that justice
SaraLM
Thick, rich pot roast with garden veggies
Melissa
The first thing I would make would be squaw corn. We used to make it when I was a kid, and I haven’t had it in years. It’s best over a campfire. You cook bacon in a cast-iron skillet, then toss in some onions and saute them in the bacon grease. The last ingredient is corn. My mom would freeze dozens of ears’ worth over the summer. The corn can go in with the onions or a little after. Then the bacon is crumbled back in, and you season it well with salt and pepper. We could gobble this up with eggs in the morning for breakfast, and it was amazing! I can still remember sitting on a log shivering and watching the sun cleared the fog off the mountain on a cold autumn morning with a steaming plate of squaw corn balanced on my knees.
leana
Making the dutch baby pancake in cast iron pan. Or a large chocolate chip cookie. Lots of eggs. Yum
Paige
Mmm….some awesome scrambled eggs, Dutch Oven Apple Cakes, Hash browns. Anything fried. ok….hitting up the kitchen now.
Kelly L.
I would love to be able to switch away from non-stick for good! Searing meat, frying bacon, eggs… mmm….
Karen
Although I have cooked in cast iron skillets many times, I have never used a dutch oven. I look forward to making artisan bread in one! Thank you for this great giveaway!
Meena R
Pancakes with blueberries, rasberries and blackberries. I’m also thinking about flatbreads sprinkled with a touch of mozzarella cheese. I could go on and on!
Lisa
My husband and i are empty nesters. but or neighbors have NINE children . once a month we have all the children over and parents (if they choose to come) we make a big campfire outside and go to cooking. we only have one dutch oven,so after cooking the meal we clean it out and put in the desert. Brownies were the best ever. We sure could use more pieces to use what an exciting way to get the next generation cooking with cast iron!
Mia
Oh gosh, I would use them for literally everything! Maybe a glazed cornish hen and some potatoes fried in butter!
Tana Riley
I had researching for a good cast iron skillet set on my to do list! So thanks for saving me some time and energy, and maybe even some moola!

I’d love to win!

Cast iron – love it! I save bacon grease for frying, be it eggs or fried potatoes, a little in the bottom of the skillet for baking a pan of corn bread, Mmm …

Stephanie
How ironic that I was just looking into getting some yesterday! Save me some money random picker!

Rebecca
I love making gumbo in a great dutch oven! Thanksgiving wouldn’t be right without homemade buttermilk cornbread to make the dressing with:) And I just recently purchased a compulsive check out line buy cook book: Lodge’s Best Ever One-Skillet Recipes. I don’t have all the cast iron goodies to make all the recipes!!!!! This would be a great give away to win.

I cook everything in my cast iron…I especially love bacon though!

bread, slow baked creole rice, baked eggs and cream, tons of soups and all day stews, applesauce….i use my dutch oven at least once a day and my skillet exclusively. Oh to have the option to cook and bake simultaneously!

I think this would be a perfect addition to our new homestead. We love using our cast iron dutch ovens when camping and in the house when we are home. I think I would use the set first to cook venison burgers.

breads and english muffins! my hubs and i love those muffins, and i’d love to make some cheaper, better-for-you alternatives to bagged. i’d also like some extra crispy golden goodness on my meats and veggies. you can’t go wrong with cast iron!

Mary
Just found your blog and love it. Will take a chance on the drawing while I’m here.
Lisa K.
I would probably transition as much cooking as possible to cast iron if I had these. However, I’m sure it would be a steep learning curve as I’ve never owned any and neither did my parents. This is a switch I’ve been wanting to make for awhile though!
Kristine
I love cast iron, I only have a little skillet right now, I would love to cook more with dutch ovens.
Sandra
Indoor smores! I saw a recipe using a cast iron pan and been jonesing since!! HAHAHA

KAtrina
I dont know about making you salivate, but I really could use this set for camping. I take a small cast iron, but need that Dutch oven for things like chili and the family fav., lasagne soup.

Kim Coble
I would cook up some of my dad’s favorite dishes. He has his great grandparents cast irons that were handed down to his mother and then to him. I have very fond memories of my father cooking EVERYTHING in the cast irons and still does to this day. I would start with breakfast: country ham, red eye gravy, grits and eggs…then for lunch I would bake a meatloaf and for dinner cook some pork chops. YUM ; ]
tammi
I would make every meal in these cast iron skillets! I love to cook with cast iron. Probably the first thing would be chicken fried steak fingers. My husbands favorite meal!

I would love to win these. My son moved to North Dakota to work in the oil fields and “borrowed” mine until he could buy some of his own. I don’t think I’m getting my wonderful, perfectly seasoned, well loved, 25 year old set back. I miss them. I know he wants to keep them around because he’s homesick and there are so many fond memories tied up in those pans so I’m not pushing the issue because he knows their value.

I love your blog. It covers just about all the things that make me happy. Would love to win a set of Cast Iron pots and pans from Lodge. Cast Iron is awesome and we’d probably all be healthier if we went back to cooking in them. Plus, they last forever. Who could ask for more.

We’re going to slaughter the first few extra roosters here on our little farm any day now, so I would try braised poultry thighs, along with black eyed peas and kale in another pot. The dutch oven would be greased with lard and then I’d bake a loaf of whole wheat bread to slather coconut oil on to go along with dinner! Yum, now I am hungry! Thanks for your rockin’ site and giveaways!

I would use that lovely dutch oven to make a big pot of beef stew and cornbread in the skillet. Yuuuuuuuummmmm!
sabrina
I would make cornbread
Janet
I would make a pineapple upside down cake in the large skillet, YUM!
Carol Harris
I would bake my sourdough bread, fry chicken, and make wonderfully healthy casseroles… ๐
Dr. Pamela Reilly
I would use every single pot to make curried chicken with a rich, savory sauce, quinoa and rice as a base and mountains of toppings. Thanks for offering this contest!
Teri Melton
Fried chicken, cheddar cheese jalapeno cornbread, sourdough bread in the oven…
Diana R
I would make a great sausage, egg, potato, cheese and zuchinni frittata.

After living in Thailand as missionaries for the past 8 years (now back in the US), our family has been missing Thai food. Would love to have this cookware set to prepare some different foods for my family such as Kaow Soi Gai (a coconut milk based soup with red curry, fresh cilantro, shallots, green onion, yellow Chinese noodles, and chicken). A family favorite!

I love cooking with cast-iron! Easy cleanup and the addition of iron to my diet feels great!

I have been dying to get a set of cast iron cookware! My old pots and pans are hideous and leeching out “who knows what” into our food. Keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed hoping that I’m the lucky winner!! ๐

(And the first thing I’d cook is that drool-worthy looking dutch baby!)
Rachel
I have a GMO-free, gluten free cornbread recipe that could use one of these skillets for sure! I’ve been making do with a pyrex dish, but ya know, it’s just not the same. ๐
Mistie Jones
Maybe not too mouth-watering, but the first thing I would probably cook is a nice breakfast frittata or quiche. Start with caramelizing some diced onions and slices mushrooms, then adding the hot skillet, the mixture of eggs, chopped red bells, spinach, chicken apple sausage, olives, hash-browns and tomatoes (with s&p) and putting it in a preheated oven (350) to bake for about 40 minutes.
Also, my husband is a dutch oven connoisseur and I’m sure he would make something fabulous with the dutch oven. Maybe something simple but so good like a peach cobbler with spiced bottled peaches and a gluten-free cake mix, just so both me and my baby could eat it too.
Carrie
Pan seared pork chops with country gravy. Fried potatoes and onions.
Mona
A simple flour dusted steak. Yum!
Daphney C
I have been wanting a cook set like this for ages. It would be such a blessing to win them! Thanks so much for offering such a generous prize!!
marianne
I gave away all my non stick Caplalon pans and am using the cast that I have, but we could sure use the full set on our little piece of ground!
Lauren
Wow. what wouldn’t I cook in this set! I love frittas with fresh tomatos, peppers and onions from the garden. Grate some Parmesan on that and I’m in heaven!!
Lisa S.
Chicken(organic air dried), Leek and Potato stew, Homemade Hot and Fluffy Buttermilk Biscuits with Raw Honey Butter and a Blueberry Crumble A La Mode.
Esther
Oh, anything Indian. Yum!
Gemini
Spinach and onion frittata!
Amber
I would make cornbread, stews, fry eggs with my homemade lard all with the cast iron set. The list and possibilities are endless.
Nancy Smith
I would love to make homemade fajitas, tortillas for dinner and biscuits for breakfast.
heather
The first thing that I would cook in my new pans is a big country style breakfast with bacon eggs and hashbrowns.
Michael-Daphney C
Id make Cornbread, or a berry crisp desert, possibly some fried chicken, or even some crispy pork chops!
Nicolette
I would LOVE this so much!
asher
experimenting!
Raye
Oooo… choices, choices…. probably fry up some bacon, then use the grease to do a little pan fried breaded chicken. Or potato wedges. Or both, come to think of it.
Lesley M
My husband loves all cast iron products! I would have him make me a big chocolate chip cookie first!!
SarahJade
WOW!!! I love cast iron. i recently moved out of my parents house and am trying to build my own set similar to theirs. I use my skillet daily and would love more.
Suan Craig
I use a skillet for just about every thing, even too reheat food. But i love to cook homemade bread in it.
Stephanie O'Day
Chili and Cornbread!! Just like my grandpa used to make!
Melinda
My first meal would be a dutch oven apple pie! I used to make a similar dish when backpacking (in the coals, tucked into a fry pan), it’s one of the things I miss the most about backpacking through the Pasayten Wilderness and I would love to recreate that with my sweetheart.
