This giveaway is now closed. Thank you!
I couldn’t think of a title for this post. I’ve used the “I’m in love” phrase too much. I think you’re going to stop believing me when I say it, even though it’s always true. So, I figured “Wicked Awesome” would get your attention…and simultaneously pay a nice tribute to the New Englanders (make that ‘Englandahs’) in our family.
But I digress. I have a random assortment of pots and pans. Some of them I like. Some of them just barely get the job done. This past January I met the folks from Anolon at a food event and they had their lovely Nouvelle Copper cookware on display. As soon as the representative started describing the features of these pans, my goal in life became to get myself a set.
So why exactly did I want to get my hands on the Nouvelle Copper cookware so desperately?
- They are copper pans at the core, and copper is awesome for cooking. Even heat distribution and whatnot.
- Anolon Nouvelle Copper is made with DuPont Autograph II non-stick, which is metal utensil safe. Yes, you heard me correctly – you can use metal utensils and scrubby sponges to your heart’s content!
- The rivets are flush with the pan. Why aren’t all pans made this way?
- These pans are induction stove-safe, which is perfect for my dream induction stove that I will have one day.
- These pans have a heavy-duty, high-quality feel to them. And their bottoms? Super heavy. Now I can actually grab my “heavy-bottomed pot” for all those chocolate recipes that heretofore mocked my lack of decent cookware.
So, after contacting them and begging a bit, Anolon did in fact send me my dream set of cookware. (Another 10 points for sticking with my food blog all these years! Thank you, Anolon!!!) I’ve had the pans for, oh, 3 months and I still haven’t even mentioned them. But, as you know, I haven’t been doing much cooking lately. The last few weeks, however, I’ve finally gotten to use my beautiful new pots and pans. They are just as wonderful as I’d hoped they would be.
As much as I’d like to share my beautiful set with you, it’s mine and I’m not giving it up! But Anolon is going to give one of you lucky folks your very own Nouvelle Copper 10″ skillet (retail value $79.99)! You want this pan. Trust me. Simply add a comment to this post by Midnight PT on Tuesday, April 5 to be entered into the drawing (one entry per person and must have continental U.S. mailing address). One randomly-selected winner will be announced on April 6! GOOD LUCK!!!

After 21 years of marriage, I need new cookware.
I was just noticing today the poor condition of my pans. I could use something NEW!
Looks like a great skillet!
I sure would enjoy this skillet!
A good skillet is so essential. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
Nice score on the pot set. I think a lot of people are missing the important feature here though. Yes the new non-stick is nice and the copper core is a plus as well. The one feature we have all suffered with is rivets. Consumers see rivets and think it must be a good pan, for the most part this is true. The problem has been that every single one of those pans has an area in it that cooks try to avoid. It is nice to see a main-line manufacturer strive to make the cooking easier on all points.
copper heating and nonstick…I am in!
Wow…this would be great to have! Thank you for the chance!!!
Sound fabulous! Would love to win!
Please pick me!! The pans I use are in great need of retirement!

OH! This would be amazing in my new Paleo cooking lifetyle!!!

I’m a recent grad and just moved out on my own — I would LOVE a new set of pans — I’m using my mom’s OLD OLD OLD ones. She bought them before I was born!
These sound fabulous! I’m dying to win!
This Anolon 10″ skillet looks amazing…sure would love to have one!!
Pick me! I recently got a proper stove and have discovered just how awful my cookware is. My two skillets are THE WORST!
Me, please
Ah, it’s BEAUTIFUL! Think of all that beautiful food that is dying to made in that pan in my kitchen
They are beautiful and perfect timing, desperately needing some new ones. Pick me…
I totally need a new non-stick skillet! These look fantastic.
Ah, but the true test of a great pan in my book is the ability to evenly cook two grilled cheese sandwiches at the same time! I sure hope I get to do this experiment myself
Ooooh! I really need a new 10-inch skillet.
This would be my first nice piece of cookware. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Hi Jane – I aspire to have my blog look like yours. Thanks for the opportunity to win the cookware – nice work.
These look great!! I’d love to try it!
I would love that whole set! But I could settle for the skillet.
I gave up cheap cookware years ago when carrying a pot of pasta (and the boiling water) to the sink to drain. The handles broke off, the scalding water, hot pasta (and my dinner!) splashed all over me, made a mess of the kitchen and made me scream “No more cheap pans!” Enjoy your Nouvelle Copper Cookware, it will last you a lifetime!
I am experiencing pan envy. Please pick me.
Hello, gorgeous, new pans are great. Coming from you, even better. Much love to you!
comment!
These look fantastic! How wonderful would it be to win one!

I’d love to try a copper-bottom skillet. Thanks!
Oooo! I can give it a very happy home.
Jane! GIVE ME YOUR POTS! GIVE ME YOUR PANS!
I will treat it gently and use often
