so you may remember that a few days (or maybe weeks) ago I mentioned an upcoming giveaway… well the time has come!
The wonderful people at CSN Stores & Cookware.com have sent me this great Emerilware Cast-Iron Enamel Deep Dish Baker to test drive, AND they are going to also send one to one of my very lucky readers!!
Isn’t that just great??
Sunday night my sweet man, the savory gourmet of the casa, decided to take our new pan for it’s inaugural test-drive, by making his version of Julia’s Gratin Dauphinois.
For those of you who do not know why cast-iron enamel is so fabulous I will tell you (and this is something I didn’t know until my Sweet Man filled me in,) Cast-Iron Enamel pans can go from stove top to oven and back again without exploding (like Pyrex and stoneware.) This makes it perfect for cooking lots and lots of yummy things, also since it is cast-iron and therefore very heavy, it is also good for propping open doors if needed.See here this pan is sitting on 2 burners, bubbling away and nothing has exploded except our taste buds at the yummy smells of garlic and cream together…
Now that the potatoes are cooked through it is time to take the dish from the stove top to the oven broiler to melt the cheese and herb butter topping.
All done and ready to eat, so warm and yummy and perfectly cooked!
Hooray for the new dish!!If you would like to win this little pan here are 4 ways you can enter to do so

Thanks for your generosity with this giveaway!

Can I just say I wish someone had told me that pyrex would explode if you took it from cook top to oven? Cause I found out the very hard way. The kind of hard way that leaves a glassy green bean mess in the oven.
And, Sara Beth tweeted, I'm proof!
If I win can you please fill the pan with those yummy looking potatoes???
Glad I found your blog! Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed…

My Mom bought me a cast iron skillet when I got married and it has been my go to item in my kitchen for the last 7 years! Cast iron cookware are heirloom items, they last forever!
I am so so so excited about this pan! I might have to buy one if I don't win.
Or I might borrow yours! 🙂
Love it!
I would SO love this! But I never win anything!! Maybe 2010 will be lucky for me!
My pan I have right now is NASTY looking. It's clean but so old that it really should be replaced! This one is BEAUTIFUL!
This giveaway is a winner! I love this type of enameled dish, they are so easy to clean up!
Wow! That looks yummy! I could sure use a pan like that. 🙂
Sounds wonderful! LOL at being able to use it as a door stop.
Hmmm…might just have to add Lark Rise to Candleford to my netflix. Sounds interesting!
As for sofas, you might check to see if you have a JC Penney outlet within a 100 miles of you. I bought their slipcovered Friday sofa for a mere $199.00! Granted I don't know how often they get them in, but it's worth checking on.
oh how I would LOVE to win this!!
I so love this pan! Perfect color too! Thanks for a great giveaway.
I just posted about your giveaway on my blog!
Loving the pan!
That looks like a great pan! thanks for the chance to win it!
