We are giving away one gift bag each weekday through December 21.
Happy Holidays from The Kitchn! | Previous Days' Gift Bags

12-1-eleven.jpg Gift: Le Creuset 6-Piece Set in Caribbean
Designer: Le Creuset
Shop: Available from Amazon for $419.95

Today we are giving away a whole kitchen! Not really - but this Le Creuset 6-piece set is about as close as you're going to get without buying a new house. This set will bake, broil, simmer and sauce - very little additional help needed. Plus you can finally try that (Quicker) No-Knead Bread. Click for more information and instructions on how to enter our giveaway!

 
 

This six-piece cookware set contains four cast iron cookware pieces from Le Creuset. There is a 2 1/4-quart Saucier Pan, which comes with a fitted lid and is ideal for slow simmering and reductions. The 5 1/2-quart Round French Oven holds a whole chicken or roast and can be used on the stovetop or in the oven. The Square Skillet and Roaster are equally versatile, and each piece is coated with durable enamel that protects the piece from chipping and rusting, facilitates nonstick cooking and cleans up easily.

They can all be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction ranges, as well as in the oven and under the broiler. This set come in the cheery Caribbean blue color pictured above.

To enter the giveaway, tell us your favorite piece in this set and what you would use it for. Type a comment in the comment section below by 8:59pm PT/11:59 EST WEDNESDAY December 19. The winner(s) will be selected at random.

I just love the color of these. I would use all of them but probably the casserole dish the most. I make a lot of casseroles. Everything from Corn Pone Pie, Broccoli Rice, several Chicken Casseroles to Enchiladas. Please pick me. I had two pieces with a pretty gold color on them and one got broken this summer. I would really love to have this set. I'm in love with the color!

It's a cold winter here in Massachusetts, so it's definitely the season for chowders, stews and soups. I would say my favorite piece is the French Oven. It's perfect for making my favorites New England Clam Chowder, Spicy Beef Stew and Turkey, Ham, Bacon and Potato Soup.

His favorite meal is spaghetti so I would use the French Oven to cook his favorite homemade noodles in, the saucier for a spicy italian sauce, the skillet for some yummy garlic bread and the baking dish to make a warm apple cobbler to finish it all off. After 3 years in Korea I bet he would adore some homemade spaghetti like that!

This grill pan would be outstanding in that capacity.

I'm 26 and have just recently become even slightly interested in cooking. Some of it came from being tired of fixing dinner-in-boxes and some of it came from finding out I have a few food allergies. It's definitely been an interesting experience and I am only starting to venture out of "basic pan" type things. As such, I think I'd likely use the French oven more at first because there've been some interesting recipes I've found (like one for a yummy pot roast) that need that type of pan.

That being said, I'd likely squee, do a snoopy dance, and promptly figure out how to use the entire set very, very quickly just because it is so pretty!! What a gorgeous giveaway!

I would cry if I won this set. It is so beautiful. I would use the small pot most often for pasta (which my son eats almost everyday). The grill would be exceptional for grilled sandwiches or grilled shrimp... or grilled tofu... or grilled vegetables.

I don't think I can pick a favorite...they are all great and the color is beautiful. I suppose I would choose the french/dutch oven so I could cook up a chicken (whole) and then once it is done I would debone it and make up a double batch of Chicken Ala King in the same pan! Then I would use the square skillet to lightly toast the bread to go with the Chicken Ala King. I am drooling and hoping I am chosen to win this gorgeous set. :-P

Ok, first, I have to say I'm freaking out a little inside over the very idea of this cookware. I didn't know this was a color option and it matches my kitchen exactly!!! Also, I know they make great cookware because my parents who are huge foodies swear by the stuff.

So on to what I would make with which piece. I think I'd use the french oven the most, and probably for soups/stews for our long winters. Sometimes you just need to be warmed up from the inside. My favorite that I like to make (and eat!) is creamy turkey wild rice. YUM.

I would use the 5 1/2 qt pot for almost every meal, I cook PA Dutch and it would be excellent for pot pie, noodles, granma soup, beef stew...and all the other winter things we make in the north, besides that my other cheap cookwear is worn out and Santa is too poor this year to get me a set.

The Dutch oven for sure. Julia Child's beef bourguignon is amazing. I have done it without the dutch oven but you have to transfer everything back and forth between dishes since it is partially done in the oven and partially on stove top. (It gets very messy with the red wine sauce) If I had a dutch oven I could make it all the time!
