A New Look… Giveaway!

* This giveaway is now closed.  Scroll down to see if you are the winner! *

As you’ve probably noticed, Savvy Eats got a major face-lift last night (if you are reading in a RSS reader or your email, you’ll need to click over to the site to see the changes).

Possibly my favorite part of the redesign is the new logo, which was inspired by my most-used piece of cookware: my cast iron skillet.  To celebrate the site’s new look, Lodge Cast Iron has generously offered to send you two of my favorite cast iron pieces.   I love cast iron because it is sturdy, cooks evenly and lasts forever…my Dutch oven and my griddle are both over 70 years old and in beautiful condition!

PRIZE:  One 9″ Lodge Logic Skillet and one 10 1/2″ Lodge Logic Round Griddle.

TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I LOVE CAST IRON” and then tell me about your favorite piece of cookware.

GIVEAWAY ENDS:  Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 8pm EST.  The winner will be announced on this post.

Note: I was in no way compensated for hosting this giveaway.  I just love cast iron cookware, and Lodge was kind enough to offer up some cookware in celebration of my new site design.

    I love cast iron and the Lodge brand! The Lodge Logic preseasoned skillet was actually the first piece of cast iron I ever purchased!

    I LOVE CAST IRON! Actually, I’ve never owned one, but I’d love to! :) My favorite cookware…that’s tough, I dont think I own anything I really LOVE. I need to change that! PS: Love the new logo, Julie!

    I too love cast iron, but I can’t afford a Lodge pan…and I neglected to register for one for my wedding last summer. My favorite piece of cookware is this nonstick, metal-handled skillet my mom bought me on clearance — it’s great for making eggs, grilled cheese, fritattas, sauteed veg, etc. I probably wash it five times a week. :)

    I also love, love, love the new look. It’s so “you” and absolutely adorable! Great work!

    I love cast iron!!! I’ve also never owned one, but it is something that I’ve been meaning to the collection. I don’t know much about cookware, but I will say that I love my cooking pots because of the story behind them. My grandfather picked out a set of pots for me for college graduation. Sadly he passed away before he could actually present me the pots himself. Every time I use them I think of him, and the times we had together.

    I love the new look! Cast iron is so nice for cooking, I have one that we use at least 2x a week but it is a bit small and hard to cook meat in it.

  6. August 3, 2012 at 10:18 am #

    I love cast iron because it can easily go from stove top to oven! The fact that it lasts forever is a great bonus too!

    I love cast iron and I LOVE the new look! I don’t think I could have one favorite piece of cookware, but I do love Lodge (unfortunately don’t have any of my own) and I have a Staub enameled cast iron braiser I’m in love with :)

  8. August 3, 2012 at 10:48 am #

    Wow. I love how clean and professional the blog looks, but yet still has flare and visual appeal. Awesome. And this giveaway would be amazing–I need some new skillets BADLY!

  9. August 3, 2012 at 11:07 am #

    I love cast iron. I have 3 cast iron pans I use all the time, but my favorite is my mother’s old ceramic coated Kopco cast iron. I use this pan for eggs, crepes, everything that needs “non-stick” pans. If I ever lose this pan I will be lost.

    I LOVE CAST IRON! My favorite piece of cookware is definitely my skillet/griddle because I can “grill” in the winter when the ground is covered in snow!

  11. August 3, 2012 at 11:13 am #

    I LOVE CAST IRON!

    My favorite piece of cookware is probably my half sheet pan…I use it for pretty much everything…roasting veggies, baking cookies, etc. :)

    Wow Julie, the site looks great! Nicely done. I love cast iron-’we have two smaller skillets that are perfect for cooking eggs in! I hope all is well :)

  13. August 3, 2012 at 11:22 am #

    So pretty! I’ve never used cast iron myself, so I LOVE CAST IRON because it’s new. My favorite piece of cookware is my big stockpot for preparing large batches of stew, etc for the week.

  14. August 3, 2012 at 11:32 am #

    i LOVE the new look! i love my cast iron – i use it for literally almost everything! perfect for browning meat/poultry AND veggies!

    Right now my favorite piece of cook ware is my cast iron grill pan – it finally gives me a reason for having six burners on my stove!

    um, I love your new logo and I LOVE CAST IRON! :) I am loving that grill pan. I don’t have anything like that and just seeing it made my cooking heart ripe with possibilities. My favorite piece of cookware is my cast iron skillet.. it’s huge, and I love making steaks and big crusty pizzas in it. Yum!

    I love cast iron. My favorite pan is definitely the skillet. It is so versatile!

  21. August 3, 2012 at 1:56 pm #

    I love cast iron! I never used one until I got married and it’s like my husband’s favorite thing, so I’m quickly learning to love it similarly. It’s not quiiite my favorite cookware (yet)…I love my bright red “chai pot” most of all–it was specifically given to help me make my personal blend of fresh chai, but I use it for everything :)

  22. August 3, 2012 at 2:17 pm #

    I LOVE CAST IRON – especially the skillet for making giant cookies!

  25. August 3, 2012 at 3:17 pm #

    I LOVE CAST IRON! My favorite piece of cookware is my nonstick skillet. I didn’t think I would use it nearly as much as I do, but it’s perfect for cooking everything from eggs and pancakes to chicken and veggies.

    I LOVE CAST IRON!!!!! My favorite is my 10 quart stockpot. I loved my non-stick griddle till the handle fell off, it was cheap and over a decade old, so a new cast iron one would be awesome!

    Ever since I was a kid I heard how great cast-iron was. My husband’s grandmother gave us an old cast-iron pan which cooks corncread beautifully and now I love cast-iron!! It’d be great to get new cast-iron pans :) And love the new look!!

    I love cast iron! I’d have to say my favorite piece of cookware is my dutch oven. I love to use it to make baked steel-cut oats and soup!

  34. August 3, 2012 at 8:19 pm #

    I really like cast iron skillets, both my mother & grandmother always had them to use. My mother who passed at 95
    give me hers. They were lost when we moved back to the west coast from Cape Cod when I retired in 2003.
    I never very well both my mother & grandmother always seasoned their cast iron & so did I. NEVER USE SOAP ON
    THEM TO CLEAN. I would be delighted to be drawn as a winner. Now that I’m cooking again after neck surgery on
    July 5th.

    I love cast iron for sure! I need a skillet and griddle. My favorite and only piece of cast iron is a piece I inherited. It is for cooking cornbread and has a place for the batter that looks like corn on the cob. Too much fun.

    Thanks for the giveaway offer.

  51. August 6, 2012 at 11:40 am #

    LOVE the new design Julie! It looks great!

    I love cast iron. I have a grill pan, but that’s it so far. My favorite pans are actually my mom’s, which I think might be older than she is!.

  54. August 6, 2012 at 12:35 pm #

    I LOVE CAST IRON!! I tried to put a cast-iron skillet on my wedding registry, but it wouldn’t let me because it was out of stock online! I was so sad…. I really want to try making cornbread in one of these. For now, I guess my favorite cookware is my medium saucepan… I do a lot with that.

    I LOVE CAST IRON!!
    I actually don’t cook, but that’s because my lovely fiance does all the cooking in our relationship (and he is GOOD). His favorite kitchen gadget is definitely his Magic Bullet. You’d be amazed at the things he churns outta that thing.

  60. August 6, 2012 at 8:32 pm #

  66. August 7, 2012 at 11:33 pm #

    I LOVE cast iron! I’ve never owned one, but if you say it’s the best piece of cookware and even included it as part of your logo, it must be life-changing!
    Right now I’m loving my saucepan as I’m trying to come up with diff unique sauces to pour over…just about everything ;)
