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.
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
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!
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!
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
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.

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! 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.

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!

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!
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
