Le Crueset Dutch Oven Giveaway via Homemade Mommy

I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article. More information here.

So many great things happened in the past two weeks, I felt the need to celebrate with a giveaway! I reached 10,000 ‘likes’ on my Homemade Mommy Facebook page and I finally released my eBook, The Homemade Mommy Handbook! This week you can get my eBook as part of the Village Green Network Spring eBook Bundle! There are 30 books for $39! What a great value – you can get my eBook and 29 others for less than $1.50 each!

So what is the giveaway?

The Homemade Mommy Handbook is all about being more confident in your own kitchen and is about a lot more than just recipes. I teach basic cooking techniques and share all of my handy tips and secrets. These are things that you cannot find in any recipe!

What better way to celebrate than to offer all of you a giveaway of my favorite cooking tools valued at over $300?!
In my eBook I give tips and techniques for:

Braising and Stewing

  • When using a slow cooker for braising or stewing, sear the meat in advance or you will end up with meat that lacks flavor and is grainy. It is for this reason that slow cookers are not as convenient as they might seem. I find it much easier to use one Dutch oven for the entire cooking process!

Roasting

  • How many different recipes have you seen over your lifetime for roasted chicken? They all have different cooking times and oven temperatures and all claim to be the BEST and fail-proof method for roasting a chicken. You might be surprised to learn that there are many conditions that can affect cooking times for roasts. I provide information in the eBook about roasting times and target temperatures so that you can end up with the perfect roast every time no matter which ingredients you add to it!  For this you need an instant read thermometer!

Spices

  • I share a whole section on herbs and spices in my eBook including information on how to store them, cook with them and what to pair them with. Did you know whole spices maintain freshness (sometimes up to 4 years!) longer than ground spices? Toasted whole spices really add a huge punch of flavor as well! To grind your own you will need a spice grinder!

NOTE: This is NOT a sponsored giveaway — I am paying for the prize myself, and will have it mailed to the lucky winner.

Here is a peek inside The Homemade Mommy Handbook eBook – the pages are streamlined and organized for ease of use and printing.

  10. I have been drooling over the Le Creuset line forever! I don’t have any pieces, so this would be my first. I plan on making homemade meals for myself and my family using the dutch oven, instant read thermometer and the spice grinder. We are already processed free in my home, mainly fresh dinners every night. This would be an excellent addition to my kitchen! Thank you so much for a great giveaway!!

  11. LOVE Lecreuset! I will use it to cook something super yummy, of course, using fresh ground spices & it won’t be burnt because of the thermometer!

  12. The dutch oven would complete my cast iron collection. Many stews and chilis would be made!

  15. Just started reading your blog a couple weeks ago but so far I love it! thank you!

  16. What better way to slowly cook meat that a dutch oven?! I’d love a thermometer to see when my meat is done. And a spice grinder would be so much faster than my mortar and pestle or knife that I use to grind spices now!

  17. I’ve had my eye on one of these babies (Dutch Oven) for a long time. Would love to win it, together with all of the other great items! Always enjoy your posts. Thanks for the useful information. :o)

  19. That Dutch Oven is absolutely beautiful! I could just stand there staring at it, but then I would make a roasted chicken – lol. Love your site and this giveaway is fabulous!

  21. With the spice grinder I would grind fresh spices to do a dry rub on a Sunday roast, braise it and put it in the Le-Crueset oven. I have also been really interested in making bread in a dutch over. The thermometer would help me know if it was done cooking or not and I could add fun spices to the bread with the spice grinder.

  25. We watch Good eats a lot with Alton Brown and he was the first to make me realize that store-bought spices weren’t what I thought they were (shocker, I know – one of a thousand realization that store-bought things weren’t what I thought they were!). Grinding our own spices would not only provide a healthier, purer product but save money. Would love!

  27. Several years ago, before I was really into cooking, I recall a friend of mine mentioning that he was going to make ‘boeuf bourguignon’
    and desperately wished he owned a Le Creuset dutch oven for this
    purpose. Not having a clue of what any of that is, I sought more
    information, and found that this search planted a seed of desire to learn to cook. I
    still haven’t made that dish, but have pulled off many delicious
    recipes over the years. As I learn more about cooking and health, I add
    more items to my ever-growing cooking tools “wish list”. Le Creuset
    dutch oven is on it, along with a quality herb grinder. Because this
    memory was triggered, I would have to finally make the Boeuf using the
    dutch oven, and utilize the herb grinder for the thyme, and the
    thermometer to confirm temperature.

  29. with the spice grinder i can stop having to clean my coffee grinder as they currently share the same purpose, my mom has the Le Creuset enaneled cast-iron pan, which i envy! It browns, sears, develops fond, deglazes, fries, bakes, sautes…AND cleans in a jiffy! The thermometer would replace my vintage heirloom with its bent stem! Thank you for creating the opportunity to win!!

  31. What a perfect giveaway! I have always wanted to roast and grind my own spices, and I love roasting and braising meats! Super giveaway…awesome newsletter!

  32. I have wanted a dutch oven since I became addicted to cooking real food in my French host mom’s Le Creuset. My favorite thing to make in it is red kuri squash, or as the French say, potimaron ! I would also love to make some grain free bread and cobbler. mmmm. 🙂 I could very much use the thermometer to help in making GAPS yogurt and the grinder to make my own nut flour!

  33. I would use the Dutch oven for braises short ribs with veggies. Mmmmmmm. The thermometer would be great for the nearing grill season. I have the grinder, but would like to get my mother one. This would be perfect. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  38. I’d love to get the dutch oven! I’d use it to replace some outdated nonstick cookware I have. It’ll be healthier and a great piece that should last for years.

  41. What a fabulous giveaway!! Congrats on your recent milestones and successes. Keeping my fingers crossed for good luck with this giveaway!

  42. Any one of the three items would be a great asset to my “turning into real” kitchen! We have made great strides in this area, but are still learning every day!

  45. I have sooo many recipes saved that calls for a Dutch oven, but have never used one. Would love to get started. And the spice mill will take so much time away from hand grinding my spices in the pestle & mortar, lol 🙂 Thanks for a great website and blog, I look forward to seeing whats going on every day.

  48. It would help me reach my goals without having to wait until I save the money for these tools. That would be a blessing!

  50. I’ve always wanted a dutch oven! Trying to get more healthy cookware in my kitchen. I bet I could make supper every night in one of those. 🙂

  51. oh My – this dutch oven has sooo been on my wish-list! granny’s soup, beef stew, roasted turkey, yogurt, fresh ground cinnamon, egg shells for calcium, flax seed to flax meal… Oh My!!

  52. I have an off brand dutch oven and LOVE it, but the enamel is chipping and I would love the real thing!

  53. Making everything from scratch is challenge enough with my already busy household, I need the gadgets to help streamline and keep my sanity lol.

  57. I grew up using a dutch oven and learned the difference in the flavors. I haven’t had one for years and would really like one again. I prefer fresh spices and don’t have a grinder either.

  60. i make stocks 2-3 times a week, in a stainless steel pot. I would love to have a quality dutch oven to use for that and so much more!!! I also grow some of my own herbs, but would LOVE to have my own spices as well!!! I do not have any sort of thermometer in my kitchen, so that would also be a perfect addition!!!

  61. Wow. These items would be great for making soups to ward off the cold during the snowy season. As a poor newlywed, I would LOVE any help I can get in establishing my kitchen and moving away from the cheap, toxic cookware I currently own.

  63. Even though I am 56 years old…it is never too late to learn how to eat and cook healthy food! Late bloomer? Yes, I am! I’m loving every new pan, utensil, and recipe I can get my hands on!

  69. I have an old, non Le Creuset dutch oven that is chipping and I know I should not use it anymore but do not have the cash flow to get another one right now! I have ALWAYS coveted a Le Creuset!!!!! Not to mentoin, we roast meat ALL THE TIME and our current thermometer got dropped into a sink full of water so it’s kind of on the outs. And we love love love grinding spices, but currently do it by hand! For homemade Indian food a spice grinder would be so much better. I hope I win!!!!

  71. Thank you for the giveaway entry, I’ve been following you for several months now and always enjoy your insight and thoughts. I would use these tools on a daily basis to cook most everything I would manage!

  74. Even though I’m in my 60’s, I’ve never had a Le Crueset Dutch oven and would love to finally use one for soups, bone broths, stews etc. The grinder would be lovely for fresh herbs and my husband could use a new meat thermometer. Thanks for the chance to enter.

  75. I would love a dutch oven, especially a Le Crueset to make lots of things including, soups, rice, bone broth! I’m so excited!

  78. I would love to win this combination. This dutch oven is one of my dream kitchen pieces! If I win, I guarantee it will be put to good use. I cook pretty much every meal from scratch. I love good real food and I love to cook. I do grind my own spices whenever possible but that has been by hand so a grinder would be handy. I do not own a digital thermometer so I am sure I can put that to good use too. 🙂 Thanks for such a fabulous giveaway!

  81. I would use the dutch oven for everything; mainly Indian curries though. I have few pots and the big one I have is aluminum and everything gets burnt in it. The spice grinder would be put to excellent use to make fresh garam masala and to grind all the spices. I hear the secret to good Indian food is having the freshest spices possible!

  82. What WON’T I make?? I ‘d use these babies practically every day. Spice grinder? Amazing! My hubby makes the best charcoal grilled turkey you’ve ever tasted and he’s been looking for the perfect thermometer. I often make roast chickens too, we love using the bones for broth and the leftovers for salad. Cool giveaway, thanks 🙂

  83. I’d love any of them, but especially the dutch oven. I’d braise lamb shanks and cook them with orzo, make goat stew, Mexican pot roast in molé sauce (tinga de puebla), chicken stew, – – so many things!

  84. OMG..have to have this piece. I am changing all my cookware to chemical free pieces and this would be a totally awesome first piece. Ready to make totally awesome organic meals for my family! Pick ME!!!

  91. The possibilities are truly endless with a Le Creuset!! I’ve been wanting one for nearly ten years! Braising, soups, stew, casseroles, the list goes on and on!

  93. I would love the dutch oven to make one pot meals. The spice grinder would be fabulous as well!

  94. Thank you for doing this! well i would make a lot of bone broth, lamb shanks, indian vegetable dishes, even yogurt, soups, chicken,and whatever else you post for me to make in there, i love all your recipes especially the healthy chocolate brownie ones! my hubby ate the whole thing! Regardless of me getting picked or not you are my favorite go to mommy for recipes and interesting articles thanks again for all that you share. Bless you!

  95. I wore out my dutch oven and it has a thin spot on the bottom and things always stick-I need a new one! I melted my instant read therometer making my prime rib at Christmas time…I need a new one and I dont have a spice grinder…I know I need one of them! Awesome give away- thanks so much….

  96. I used to have a crock pot that allowed for braising on the stove. Sadly, the inside started to discolor and chip off. I loved the ease of cooking in one pot. This dutch oven would be used in our home!!

  99. After having difficulty with Lodge no matter how carefully I season it and care for it, I am longing to get a Le Crueset Dutch Oven that won’t have to be reseasoned every time I look at it. Coq Au Vin would be my first treat. =)

  100. I would totally make some beef stew in that dutch oven! I have never used a digital meat thermometer like that one, I bet it is nice and easy to use 🙂 Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  101. I would make a wonderful stew with my dutch oven, or Cuban black beans and rice finished in the oven. I tried to make the recipe as it called for a dutch oven that starts on the stovetop and transfers to the oven and I didn’t have anything that would work. I would also toast fresh herbs and spices util they released their fragrace and oils, then grind them in the spice grinder. Does the thermometer read candy temps too? *wink*

  102. We eat 95% of our meals at home, so I’m always in the kitchen cooking. I’ve never used a dutch oven, but I’ve always wanted one. I’d definitely experiment on roasted beef and chicken, soups, stews, etc. I’ve used a small coffee grinder before to grind spices, and it would be lovely to have a spice grinder. And I don’t have an instant-read thermometer, that would take out a lot of guesswork!

  104. I’ve been Wanting One Of These! I Would Make A Braised Goat
    Shoulder. PleaseExcuse The Caps, Stupid Phone!

  105. I have this AMAZING recipe i learned from a little Italian Nona while I was living in Rome for slow oven roasted chick peas. It REQUIRES an true amazing dutch oven as they are cooked for 5 hours at least, and dutch ovens develop so much more flavor then anything else! As a broke college student….can’t really afford a dutch oven so this would make me the happiest young woman to practice what I was taught!! Keep the traditions alive!!

  106. I am new to real food and having this would be a great kickstart! Loving learning more each day from the bloggers and looking forward to purchasing the ebook bundle this weekend!

  107. I’ve never had a dutch oven, so it would take some research to figure out, but I know I could cook chickens and yummy stews in it. 🙂 The spice grinder would be nice to have fresh spices and save a bit of money as well by buying whole. Thanks!

  111. I LOVE dutch ovens and hope to use a few. I’m a new wife, and this would be my first! I’ve needed a spice grinder as well, and my digital thermometer is on the fritz. Thank you! Your eBook looks fabulous, and I’d love to take advantage of that, especially your tips on fermenting.

  113. I’ve been wanting a Le Creuset dutch oven for years! What a great giveaway 🙂

  114. I am eliminating all of my non-stick cookware and using only cast iron, stainless, and enamel cookware. This Dutch oven would be a fantastic addition to my kitchen! The grinder would save me from having to constantly clean out my coffee grinder when I need it to grind herbs and spices, and the thermometer would be much easier to read accurately! All fantastic additions to my healthy kitchen! Thank you!

  116. I just had to return my Martha Stewart enameled pot because of the recall and could use a new better one. And I could always use a spice grinder and thermometer.

  119. I have been wanting one just to make all sorts of great food…..meat, cobblers and more!

  121. I am learning to cook gluten free meals. I think this would inspire me to get creative in the kitchen and wratch-it-up-a-notch in dealing with Celiac, instead of feeling overwhelmed and left out. It would also be a great way to fix gluten free dishes for the potluck at church. Thanks for the opportunity to win this gorgeous Dutch oven♥

  123. I’ve never owned a dutch oven, so I’d have to look up some fabulous things to make in it! roasts are all I can think of! Thank you for the giveaway!

  124. My new roommate has one of these & I have fallen in love with it! It would be great to add one to my own collection! Or to have multiples. We make a lot of pulled pork when we have friends over.

  127. I have been swooning over a Le Crueset dutch oven for years! I would be thrilled to cook, braise, roast and stew my little heart out with this beauty! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

  134. I have been drooling over this dutch oven for so long! Would also love to have a spice mill. Thermometer? Well, since I continually detroy them, I can always use a new one! I would be making a yummy rabbit roast with this!

  135. I would be so grateful for these prizes. All I have now is a skillet, a small square glass pan, and a couple glass sauce pans. I’m really missing out on all the good stew and soup recipes.

  136. What amazing tools for any whole-food kitchen! For several years I have been focused on creating nutritious meals from real foods (not boxes) for my family. I would LOVE to have this beautiful Le Crueset Dutch Oven, digital thermometer and spice grinder to utilize a number of recipes, like those in your Homemade Mommy Handbook!

I can wait to start reason the newsletters and I will definitely be on this site trying new things for my family. Thanks for sharing and hopefully ill be ble to share with others one day as well!

  138. I will be honest- I don’t cook often at home & this MUST change. I have two children with special needs and I know a healthier diet is a must. I am trying to overhaul our lives in a positive way. these tools for my kitchen would give me a jump start towards healthy living!!!

  139. I would make a yummy beef roast! I have so many old spices that I need to throw out – and with the grinder I could start fresh!

  142. I would LOVE this! I have always wanted a big roaster to make whole chickens and to be able to grind up spices-so fabulous and fresh!

  144. I would love to start baking breads in the oven! I’ve always wanted one!! The spice grinder will be great for fresh spices right out of our little garden!! I’m excited!

  148. I will be learning and experimenting! I try to make lots of veggies and am going to try to make my own soups and sauces- no more canned goods ever!

  152. Oh WOW – this would be a HUGE asset to my kitchen as I cook daily for our large family of six!

  154. I am really trying hard to make more meals at home and some of the recipes call for these items and I don’t have them so I give up or make something else. The dutch oven in particular is something I’ve been wanting for a long time now. I can finally make the green chile stew I’ve been wanting to make.

  155. What a great bundle of prizes, perfect for a beginner like me (and my family, too)! 🙂 A dutch oven, especially, is on my wish list for making homemade chicken broth. We still use stuff out of a jar. 😛 Baby steps!

  166. These are amazing prizes, I have slowing been “greening” our lives, including starting a Le Crueset collection! I have big plans for the Dutch oven and I have started a homemade herb and spice collection that would be perfect with the grinder! Also love all of the recipes and Homemade Mommy posts too!!

  167. I want to win this set for my wife, who makes dinner for us and our 5 children all under that age of 7. Although it’s not always easy, she prepares real food meals for all of us on a daily basis!

  169. I have always loved the beauty and functionality of the Le Creuset products. My husband and I received non-stick calphalon pans when we were first married, eight years ago. The coating is starting to come off and so I am slowly switching out my non-stick pans. I have never owned a Le Creuset, but have been looking at purchasing one for Mother’s Day 🙂 Cheers!

  172. What won’t I make?? I am switching over my cookware and am still very much in need of a Dutch oven and would LOVE to have a Le Creuset! Thank you so much for sponsoring this giveaway and for the opportunity to win!!

  175. I’ve had this on my wishlist for a year. I recently tossed out my non-stick pans and am using just a cast iron griddle pan. I would love this for when I make Primal chili and roast beef. What an amazing giveaway!

  176. I really could use the dutch oven, because I currently have old Teflon pans that are starting to chip, and I don’t want to use them because they are toxic…. The only other pans I have is one cast iron skillet, and a recently purchased Pyrex pot. I keep hoping to find a used dutch oven, but they are so expensive.

  177. My mom has one of these and I’m so jealous! I make stews all the time and this would be the perfect way to cook them! By the way, I thicken my stews and chili with whole juice made from celery, carrots and tomato paste in the Blendtec. It adds lots of flavor and thickens without grains!

  180. I have been cooking with the nourishing traditions cookbook, and this would help me make some savory beef stews. I have since tossed my almunim non stick pans, ditched the microwave, and have gotten stainless steel pans and a toaster oven for reheating. This would help add to my arsenal for healing with food.

  183. I would love to switch over some of the items I currently make in my crock pot and make in a dutch oven. I have had on my wish list for some time now but the price has held me back. Would love to win! Also, my thermometer broke so def, need one to check the temps on my meat. I just tonight overcooked a top round b/c didn’t have one .

  185. I was just looking at a recipe today for curried chicken and rice that you make all together in a dutch oven and was so disappointed that I don’t have a dutch oven to make it!! So I would use it for that! I have no thermometer which I always kick myself for when I am trying to get meat that is not overdone but I am afraid that I will under cook it. And the spice grinder…oh I have lusted but never made the plunge. I would love to explore how much better spices could be by grinding my own.

  187. My husband and i were just talking about needing a second dutch oven. Ours is constantly in use.

  191. I want the dutch oven for many comfort-food dishes, particularly to explore more bean-based dishes. The thermometer would be great for measuring perfect ‘doneness’ of meat, and the spice grinder would be used to grind seeds, such as flax seed and sesame seed.

  192. As I am excitedly getting married in 10 weeks AND buying a new home, these items would be such wonderful additions to my kitchen, as I do not have any of the three! I make all my meals at home, most often from scratch with wholesome organic, fresh ingredients. I would use the dutch oven to create delicious, nutrient dense stews & soups and for braising meats and caramelizing vegetables. I would use the thermometer to check the temperature of the meats I cook to ensure safety (something I’ve been needing but never have purchased as of yet). I would use the spice grinder to create my own homemade spice blends in conjunction with my dehydrator, and also for combining my favorite superfood seeds (chia, flax & hemp) to add to my morning shake and baked goods 🙂 Thank you for this opportunity, Homemade Mommy! You are such an inspiration!

  194. I have been wanting a Le Cruset for a while now, but we’ve recently got our first half-steer and I’ve got all these great roasts and no way to cook them. A new Dutch oven would be Ah-mahzing! We’ve got a great oven therm already so we’d likely gift it to someone and the spice grinder would be a neat addition too. I grind a lot and I’m sure my hubs would appreciate not having to clean out his coffee grinder so much. Thanks for the great giveaway!! Got fingers crossed.

  196. I would cook dinner for my family and friends like I always do, BUT with these it would be in class!

  198. I’m getting married! Also I’m getting more into homemade foods and trying to be healthier. I would love anyone of these gifts to help me along my way. 🙂

  200. I would love a dutch oven like this. One- I am a mom who works full time and being able to simplify my cooking to reduce time and effort is key to my sanity!! I try so hard to keep my family eating healthy which requires yummy dishes that are quick and easy to make. Also, I am in LOVE with Le Creuset. I have a couple pieces that end up just staying on the stove because I use them so often.

  201. Because i know how toxic most cookware is out there…i LOVE LeCreuset! I’ve almost worn out my first LC Dutch oven and one always needs more with a family of 6!

  202. I LOVE these products and if I win I would give them to my daughter and son in law so that they can prepare healthy foods for my beautiful grandson. They are a family of starving students and could really use these products.

  203. I have wanted one of these for such a long time but they are so expensive! I found a recipe awhile ago for homemade bread and she used a dutch oven and I have wanted one ever since! I would be so good for chili! Yum!

  206. I would cook cook cook away with fresh spices from the garden and braised meats for my kids healing from toxins.

  209. It would be such a blessing to recieve either of these items! Of course I would loveto have the LeCrueset, I have wanted one for years.:) Also, I grind all of my hers, cacao nibs,etc. in a tiny processor that is on its last leg, and I just ground my beat thermometor in the sink dispose all.

  210. Thanks for the giveaway! And congrats on being included in the Spring ebook bundle. You’re in good company!

  211. Oh my! I’ve wanted a Le Crueset dutch oven for years! I’d make soups and stews and bread… all kinds of things. Excited just thinking about it!

  216. I have always wanted a dutch oven. I would make roast and stews in it. I would use the thermometer a lot as we eat a lot of meat in this house and I am not always sure when it is done. I would buy more spices from our local health food store and use the grinder to help keep them fresh. Thanks for the chance to win!

  218. I love to cook to cook in dutch ovens. I have been wanting one this size. I have been eyeing these in the store for quite some time.

  225. Normally, I would want these items just for myself. But in the past year, my husband has found a new passion in cooking ~ as he is now working part time and I’m working full time. He has taken on the cooking & roasting, discovering a joy in the kitchen with the kids! I would gift these items to him (but I would borrow them on my days off!).

  228. I would love to win any of these gifts!!! I’ve been wanting a dutch oven for a long time. I would make myriads of soups, stews, breads, and It would be perfect for roasting meats! The spice grinder would be a wonderful compliment to my kitchen since we use spices like crazy. Also everyone can use an instant read thermometer. 🙂 Yay! What wonderful gifts! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Also thank you for the wealth of information from your newsletter, feeds and ebook!

  229. I have never once won an online contest. I am hoping this is going to be the one, because I’ve have coveted a dutch oven for my whole life!!!

  232. My son, who is 8, is an aspiring chef. He and I would have so much fun mixing a spice rub and braising away!

  235. Who wouldn’t want these things? What a generous giveaway! I’m excited about all 3 items.

  236. You’re such a great resource for helping me stay on track and these would be great tools to help me as well.

  238. I’ve wanted a dutch oven for years. I would love to be able to prepare yummy wholesome food for my family using this awesome dutch oven. I am trying to switch to organic, fresh products so the grinder would be great for grinding fresh herbs and spices. A thermometer is a must have to ensure proper temperature is achieved before feeding meat to my family!

  240. I just bought a Le Crueset loaf pan to make my homemade bread and this would be a perfect addition. I do not have a good dutch oven….it would get sooo much use. Pick me!!!!!!

  242. I don’t own a Dutch oven yet! Cannot afford one! But would love to have one to make yummy recipes in. The thermometer would help me be more accurate on my meals being done. Who couldn’t
    use a spice grinder.

  243. I sooooo want to win the Dutch oven, because I have always wanted one, but there is no way, I would ever be able to bring myself to pay $300 dollars for a pot, so I drool and lovingly caress them in passing in stores. If I win, I would use to make amazing, delectable, delicious, scrumptious, healthy meals for my family.

  246. I would teach my husband to cook fabulous foods in it to spoil ME.. lol …. dreaming again. Seriously, I’ve always wanted one. It would be cherished in its new “forever home”.

  248. great choices. I would use the dutch oven for cooking and baking – meatballs, bread, stews. The spice grinder for grinding spices and seeds as I am learning about nutrition and health.

  249. The dutch oven is so pretty my kids would want to help me cook with it, and for sure would eat what comes out of it!

  252. I could especially use the dutch oven for slow-cooked meat like shanks, and the spice grinder will be so much more convenient than the mortar and pestle. The thermometer will help with meat temperatures and yogurt-making! 😀

  253. thank you for this op to get some great stuff that would be a treat to have. i have one pot like that but find these days i am making more than one soup, stew, and even bread at a time. i am also making more homemade items that need a temp taken and i just guess! lol. and why not have a spice grinder, right? loving kitchen fun these days! thanks again!

  255. I would love to grind my own spices. The question should be what WONT I do with those!

  256. I’ve been wanting a dutch oven forever! And the instant read thermometer would be so useful!

  257. I have always wanted one of these, I love this cookware. My new husband and I have only an aluminum stockpot he had before we married and I have been trying to figure out a way to save for new pots. I love making soups, stews, pasta sauce and such in this size pan. It is also in my favorite color. 🙂

  258. April 30th is my 1 year anniversary of being a full time step mommy. Once tasked with shopping for young kids, and their Daddy, I started to truly pay attention to the garbage that is in processed foods. Little by little, I began to change our diet. I researched, read, studied, compared, and did everything I could to start making our meals from scratch. This way I KNOW what is going into our bodies. This has been a challenge, but one I have taken on without hesitation or regret. Most recently I made sloppy joes from scratch. No canned sauce here! All organic ingredients from my cabinet. And that felt good. To see the expressions on the kids faces, hear the “silence” as my family devoured this meal made it even more worth it. We are even planning a garden this summer for organic veggies and I will be canning the harvest. I am so excited!! But back to the topic at hand. With a dutch oven, there are so many more recipes I could do. I don’t have one now, and little by little we are building our kitchen supplies. I would love to have this to further my cooking skills, recipe bank, and healthy lifestyle. I’d even invite you to dinner if ever you ended up in WI and cook something with the amazing dutch oven I won from you! lol Anyway, regardless if I win or not I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoy your site, tips, recipes, blogs, and all of the great information you provide. I have learned much from you and will continue to follow you. Thank you for doing what you do and being a guide to folks like me. You are appreciated.

  260. Ooo! I would definitely make some great stews and probably some sourdough bread. I also really need a new spice grinder!!!

  261. I use my slow cooler for so much. Would love to learn to make more flavorful food in the Dutch oven.

  265. What I would make with a Dutch oven???? The possibilities are endless! Potatoes, Meat Dishes, Bread, yum!

  266. I plan to make lots of soups and stews in that Dutch oven. I don’t have a meat thermometer, and I have always wanted one. I plan to roast a chicken and a pork loin and use the thermometer to ensure it’s cooked to the right temperature. I have always wanted a spice grinder. I plan to grind peppercorns and minced onions to smooth ground pepper and onion powder. Thank you for this opportunity!

  267. I would love to have all of these! We don’t have anything like these but they would make it possible for me to use more recipes and get more creative in the kitchen. Great giveaway, also a great blog! 🙂

  270. I have always wanted that Dutch oven.I try to cook healthy foods for my family and this would hero me transition to healthier pans. The thermometer is cool to, as I have a cold spot in my oven and sometimes food cooks unevenly. That spice grinder would allow me to go back to only grinding coffee in my coffee grinder!!

  272. I am not sure if the other message I typed out went through since the post log in was acting funny. But, my husband would be as excited or more excited about the Dutch oven. He asked me the other day if I had ever heard of them.

  273. there are some wonderful soups I could see simmering in that pot.The cast iron is so handy for slow cooking without scorching. I have learned alot from your posts keep up the good work!

  280. I would cook EVERYTHING in the dutch oven. I love how it retains heat evenly, can cook on the stove top, in the oven, etc. and you can cook anything in it. I cook constantly and would love to have a Le Cruset to make the best meals ever 🙂

  282. I would jump for joy if I could have a dutch oven (again)! Prior to my divorce, I cooked EVERYTHING for my little one…it was so very easy to make healthy meals from steal cut oats to roasted veggies and curries galore! Perhaps the hardest part of the divorce (this is just for a laugh, but I do miss it so) was having to leave the dutch oven behind! I have never had a grinder for herbs and seeds, that would be great as well as I use a pestle and mortar to grind my flax, chia, and hemp seeds. Also as a french press coffee user, I would love to have the ability to grind fresh beans very fine. Fingers and toes crossed!

  285. I usually do not leave a response, but I browsed a few of the remarks here Real
    Food Cooking Tools GIVEAWAY – $300 Value! | Homemade Mommy.

    I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it only me or does it seem like some of these responses appear as if they are left by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I’d like to keep
    up with you. Would you post a list of the complete urls of your social networking pages like your linkedin
    profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  286. I actually need many kitchen tools which I cannot afford. So I am just trying to see if I can get from here or not.
