Anolon Vesta Cast Iron 5-quart Covered Braiser Giveaway
As a little kid, I remember walking in to the kitchen and wondering (out loud) why my mother was drying the pan with a paper towel and vegetable shortening. She raised her eyebrows, smiled and said she was ‘seasoning’ the cast iron. She then proceeded to give me the ins and outs of taking care of cast iron and about all of the benefits of a having a sturdy, even heating pan. For my seven-year-old brain, it was a bit much. All I knew is that I loved her boeuf bourguignon – and, if a little work on the braising pan was needed beforehand, then it was well worth it. To this day, I still follow her boeuf bourguignon recipe to the letter – but I buy my cast iron pre-seasoned.
I’m super excited to be teaming up with my friends at Anolon who are offering my readers (hey, that’s you!) the chance to win an amazing round, covered cast-iron braiser that will look beautiful on your stovetop and heat your slow cooked soulful stews to perfection. And since we live in the modern age… No messy cast-iron-seasoning required!
