Get Ready Foodies: We are giving away a 12-piece T-Fal cookware set just in time for a new school year!

With fall weather already in the air and September right around the corner must-have essentials that should be on your radar, for helping parents gear up for the craziness of back-to-school, are ones that can help you streamline the dinner plan process! September can be a hectic time for families to try to get back to their â€˜normal’ routine, so gadgets that will help moms and dads whip up quick, and not to mention healthy, meals in the morning or at the end of a hectic day are of the ESSENCE! And guess what? I’m excited to announce an upcoming contest with Cooking Planit and T-Fal- two ESSENTIALS for the back-to-school season!

See this lovely 12 piece cookware set above? One LUCKY The Staten Island Family Reader will have a chance to enter to win that cookware set here at The Staten Island Family as well as 49 other blogs!!!

Three of my favorite features of this T-Fal set include: are

Interior measuring marks deliver added convenience and ease of use.

Having the measurements inside the saucepans completely take away the guess work and help you be that much more precise and a still very amateurish cook like me can use all the EXTRA help she can get! And being able to measure right inside the pot that you’re cooking in- well it just DUMMY proofs the cooking process for me!

Metal utensil safe, durable and scratch resistant. (On sautÃ© pans only.)

Exceptionally durable and dishwasher safe.

Along with the cookware giveaway, I will be promoting a great website called Cooking Planit! And I am very excited because I will be using the 12 piece T-Fal cookware set I got to cook up a a multi course meal, step by step, with the HELP of Cooking Planit so everything finishes cooking at the same time!!

As an amateur cook- Cooking Planit essentially HOLDS your hand and helps you create recipes and dishes from their stable of so wonderful ones for fish, poultry meat and veggies. In order to be eleigible for this T-Fal set you will need to sign up for Cooking Planit – so you might as well just go for it now– especialy because it is free here! I guarantee you will LOVE it!
