Ree Drummond Is Partnering With The Pillsbury Bake-Off 2018

The Pillsbury Bake-Off is coming back for 2018, and the iconic American baking competition has a brand new celebrity chef partner: Ree Drummond. On Monday, Oct. 2, Pillsbury announced that it's not only bringing back the Bake-Off for the first time in four years but that they have a new partner in the Food Network.

According to a press release, the Pillsbury Bake-Off is teaming up with Drummond and the Food Network for a once-in-a-lifetime winning prize pack. The grand prize winner will receive a trip to New York for an appearance on The Kitchen, a feature in Food Network magazine, a kitchen makeover from GE Appliances, and $50,000. Runners-up will receive a pretty sweet prize, too: a new GE appliance of their choice.

The 2018 edition of the contest features four categories: Cozy Breakfasts, Appetizers for Any Party, Dinners with Heart and No-Fuss Desserts.

The Pillsbury Bake-Off, now in its 68th year, has had a massive impact on the American home cook.
