Le Creuset French Oven Giveaway
Oh la la. When it comes to cooking, nothing has changed my life quite like Le Creuset. I hinted to the giveaway yesterday in this Cranberry Swirl Bread post. For the past month, I’ve used Le Creuset’s 5 qt. Oval French Oven more than anything else in my kitchen.
My cherry red oven has also made its Milwaukee Journal Sentinel debut in Sunday’s paper. I used it to make and display a creamy stovetop mac and cheese. Baby Tristan loved it (and the kid in me did too).
The feature I love most about this Dutch oven is that you can go directly from the stovetop to the oven because it’s made of heavy-duty cast iron. So a mac and cheese that you finish in the oven to crisp up the top would be perfect. In addition to three batches of mac and cheese (yes, we’ve been on quite a kick lately), we’ve also made a venison loin with roasted vegetables, Ginger and Pear Butternut Squash Soup and gumbo (to name a few).
Besides how gorgeous it is (seriously, I leave it on my stove 24/7 — it’s way too pretty for a cupboard), it also distributes heat evenly, features ergonomic handles and the interior enamel resists chipping and cleans easily. Other features include:
- Colorful, long-lasting exterior enamel resists chipping and cracking; interior enamel is engineered to resist staining and dulling
- Sand-colored interior enamel makes it easy to monitor food as it cooks, preventing burning and sticking
- Oversized handles provide even weight distribution and a secure grip
- Ergonomic composite knobs are heat resistant to 500°F
- Built-in lid stabilizers provide a secure, no-slide fit
- The lightest weight per quart of any premium cast iron cookware available
My French oven is the traditional Cherry color, but Le Creuset also offers a variety of stylish hues to match your kitchen perfectly, such as Quince (this cheerful yellow is my new favorite), Dune, Caribbean, Flame, Cassis and much more.
Le Creuset Giveaway!
My Le Creuset French Oven is one of those things that I’ll have for 50 years (and leave it to my favorite grandchild in my will). I love it so much and can’t wait to offer this cooking experience to one (1) lucky She’s on the Run reader! The winner will receive his or her very own Le Creuset 5 qt. Oval French Oven (VALUED AT $270!!). To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what you’d make if you won this Dutch oven. Also, you MUST like Le Creuset on Facebook (this will also give you a second entry).

I’d probably go with a Mac and Cheese also. I have a recipe that I’ve used for years now. Not sure what kind of noodles you use but I recommend Cavatappi, its like a few elbows put together. Not sure why, it just really adds to the homemade feel! I’ve also used the leftovers on pizza dough with broccoli and bacon, its awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to score the Dutch Oven, I would use the heck out of it. Have your tried making bread in it yet? I’ve seen some interesting recipes online.

I would LOVE to win that beautiful Le Creuset Dutch Oven because honestly, its nothing I would be able to buy myself. I am a college student who works and interns, and I love simply to cook. It keeps me sane. Over the years I have slowly accumulated a few high quality cast iron pans that I love, but have dreamed of having a dutch oven, and this is one is surely the best one out there. I also do all my foodprep sundays for the week, and can think of so many ways I would use this.
I would make a Sunday pot roast in the oval dutch oven :)

What can’t you make in a dutch oven. Its probably one of my favorite pieces in my kitchen. Personally if I were to be the winner of this Le Creuset the first thing I would want to make is our family’s annual St. Patrick’s Day feast which includes corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions. I’d toss all the ingredients in the pot and let it slow cook all day. Now on a more regular basis I would use it for soups, pastas and of course comfort foods like casseroles.
I would make a big cozy mac and cheesse and share invite all my friends over to watch chick flicks and drink wine!
The first thing I would make in this gorgeous Dutch oven is beef stew, because I could start it on top of the stove and finish it in the oven, all in the same pot.
