My New Favorite Pot + BIG Holiday Zwilling J.A. Henckels Giveaway!!

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Giveaway

Last month I had the pleasure of trying out some great products from Zwilling J.A. Henckels. I’ve always loved their knives, but their cookware and roasting pan lines were completely new to me. Right from the start I love the sturdy stainless steel Aurora line. It has a shiny finish, is oven safe, and handles heat like a dream.

I was fortunate enough to try out their entire seven piece set and it was all excellent. But what really stood out for me was their 5.5 quart stainless steel Dutch oven. I am forever devoted to my enameled cast-iron pot, but having one in stainless steel is the best of both worlds. It is much lighter than cast iron which makes it much easier to handle on the stove. It is one quart large than my regular saucepan and the extra room makes it perfect for boiling large amounts of pasta, simmer large servings of soup, and even making risotto. The two handles and rolled rim make it super easy to lift and pour which really saves my back and my wrists! I can’t say enough about it and really think everyone should try it out.
