Stainless steel for the kitchen is such a treat to work with! Unlike plastics and nonstick coatings, it doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into your food. It also is pretty enough to go from prep to serving at the table, and cleans easily. When you’re dealing with food allergies, you want to make sure you can get your kitchen equipment super clean so that you don’t accidentally include an allergen in your allergen free food.
I love stainless, and our friends at MightyNest not only have a ton to chose from, but they’re also supporting local schools, AND having a giveaway for you this week!
Giveaway
You have a chance to win the following:
- 1 Stainless steel mixing bowl set (4 sizes!) perfect for mixing, serving, and storing in the fridge. I love this over glass because I can send my kids’ outside with the popcorn bowl or cut up watermelon, which I couldn’t do with a glass bowl.
- 1 Stainless steel jellyroll pan. I like jelly roll pans for making cookies and anything else that I need a baking sheet for because the shallow sides keep everything contained and off the oven floor in case of extra-melty cheese or a runaway cookie dough ball. This one replaces the aluminum sheet that I had before – aluminum has been linked to alzheimer’s, and I really don’t like using it in my kitchen.
- 1 Stainless steel muffin pan, perfect for grain free muffins! Just grease with a little bit of coconut oil
- 1 High Quality Stainless steel peeler – perfect for those winter squash that we love to eat, but are tough to peel!

My favorite thing that I’ve made so far on my stainless steel baking sheet was this pizza.  I’ll be honest, it’s more of a pizza-inspired casserole, it can’t easily be picked up and it’s best eaten with a fork, but it has all the pizza flavors, and is grain and gluten free- score!
Grain Free Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust
Serves 6
1 head cauliflower
3 eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheese, plus more for topping
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Desired toppings
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Cut florettes off head of cauilflower and pulse in a food processor, half at a time, until the pieces are rice-sized. Place in a microwave safe bowl, and cook on high for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through.  (if you don’t have or use a microwave, steam the cauliflower until cooked, then cool, and chop in the food processor)
Wrap cooked cauliflower pieces in a clean dish towel, and twist to squeeze out excess water.
Dump out of the dish towel and add eggs, cheese, salt, and seasoning. Mix.
Cover a baking sheet that has sides with parchment paper, or grease.
Pat cauliflower mixture into a pizza shape.
Top as desired.
Bake at 425* for 30-40 minutes.

I’m with you on stainless steel — love it! And I’m always looking to add to my collection. I’ve been consciously replacing all of my aluminum cookware over the past few years and can now cook anything I like without aluminum or nonstick. Yay! Now I’m working to replace more of the plastics… It will happen.
The pizza crust recipe looks very good. Will try it soon!
Recently relocated & couldn’t bring all my stainless with me – Would be excellent to win these needed pieces to help towards completing my kitchen! Love your website!!
I’m starting to build my kitchen set-up as a senior in high school about to graduate in 5 days. This would be an awesome addition and boost to my supplies!
I no longer purchase plastic containers for food storage I have replaced with glass containers and jars. Thanks
i have been off the non stick pans for a few years now. next up no more plastic and i need a muffin pan! hard to find one that is not non stick. thanks for the giveaway.
Love the shiny kitchen tools! I’m slowly acquiring stainless steel equipment, but my baking pans are the last on the list…even though I use them all the time. I line them with parchment paper in the meantime, but it sure would be nice to have stainless steel baking pans!
I love stainless but do you recommend parchement for non-stick in oven baking?
I do, just because it’s so simple to clean up. You can also grease with coconut oil.
I am always a fond of stainless steel utensils having known the dangers of plastic and other metals. I would like to get one of these. it would be great if I could win this. Thank you for putting this for giveaway.
