So, here are two sweepstakes to give you the chance to win some cookware, and a cook-off so you can share your hard-earned skills to possibly win some cash and more!

Biltmore Gourmet & Entertaining Sweepstakes


This is from Biltmore, as in the Biltmore Estate of Asheville, North Carolina.

Martha White® Lodge® Cast Iron National Cornbread Cook-Off 2014


This is a contest, so takes careful reading of the rules in order to keep from being disqualified. However, if you have the skills to make a good main dish recipe using Martha White® cornbread, cooked in Lodge® Cast Iron Cookware, it could be worth your while.

Of course, anybody worth their cornbread knows that there's no better way to cook it than in cast iron cookware ; )

This is the first phase of this contest, and it ends on February 28, 2014. Ten finalists will be chosen, based upon certain judging criteria, from this phase.

Finalists are then required to compete in the National Cornbread Cook-Off in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, on April 26, 2014, in order to qualify for prizes. This is at your own expense, and you must bring your own ingredients and kitchen equipment, excluding a stove. Competitors will still receive a $500 reimbursement to help cover these expenses.

Winners of the cook-off phase will be awarded prizes as follows:

*First Prize-$5,000 cash; a 30-inch FiveStar® stainless steel gas range (ARV $3,250) from Five Star® Professional Cooking Equipment, and special gifts from Lodge® Cast Iron and Martha White (ARV $50)
