January Giveaway: Lodge 5-Piece Cookware Set!

January 2, 2014 - 274 Comments

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.

januarygiveaway

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:

squash

Or even this delicious bread!:

sourdoughbread

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!

    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!

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    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.

    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.

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. Then I could return my mama’s skillet to her…. or give her the new one & let her season it up great like she does:)

    I have a scrumptious, to die for recipe for pineapple-coconut-banana upside-down cake. And just so ya know,… Every time I see the picture of the frittata you made, I want to climb through the computer screen. Sadly, I have yet to acquire any cast iron cookware… Sniff.

    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!

    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!

    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.
