Cloche Loaf Dutch Oven, Pre-Seasoned, 9.5QT, 13 LBS Heavy Duty, Non-Stick, Large Bread Loaf Pan, Oval Cast Iron Bread Pan With Lid, Cloche Homemade Loaf Pan, Sourdough Artisan Bread Baking Pan

My wife bought this Dutch Oven for my birthday when I started trying to perfect my sour dough bread making. It has worked perfectly for me, and it is much more reasonably priced than some others. It is just the right size and height for my artisan loaves while still fitting into our small, efficient, convection oven. I line the bottom with parchment paper, and it is super easy to clean, just a quick swipe.

Excellent for baking sourdough. Good value for the price.

I love to bake bread, this product is very helpful and awesome for my needs, good weight, easy to clean , make sure to season it before use so you can enjoy it in long term

Great value for a cast iron Cloche Inverted Dutch Oven at 1-3rd the cost of a brand name Bread Pan Cast Iron Loaf Pan with Lid with the exact same dimensions which "CHALLENGES" you to wonder why anyone would spend three times the amount of money for the same item but made somewhere other than the US? I have quite a few cast iron Dutch ovens from Camp Chef, Cuisinel, Pit Boss, Lodge and more but was looking at the US made cast iron Bread Pan Cast Iron Loaf Pan with Lid but with the cost of almost $300. was a no go for me. I then had seen this Cloche Loaf Dutch Oven, Pre-Seasoned, 9.5QT made by Sxmprail and a weight of 15.4 lbs. which is 4.6 lbs. less than the higher priced $300. us made baker, but still heavy at 15.4 lbs. which when you bake bread as I do, then you will know that when you have 15+ pounds of cast iron heating at 500° F for more than an hour that the thermal mass of the 15.4 lbs. will hold onto that heat for quite a while. I was very impressed with not only the quality of the pan, but they also provided a very nice set of accessories. And even though I already had them it was nice to see it provided at a cost of just over $100.00 with free shipping. If you want a great size cast iron Dutch oven and do not want to refinance a house to get the same size cast iron Dutch oven that runs $300.00 then you will be happy with this. The actual weight of the Dutch oven was exactly 15.4 lbs. weighed on a calibrated scale.Update: The first loaf using the new Cast iron Baker. A Coconut Milk and Honey sourdough loaf @ 2.4 lbs. Preheated the Cast Iron Baker for 1 hr. @500° F and then baked for 20 minutes and then uncovered and left for another 15 minutes @ 450° F.

Works great on Sourdough bread, might by another one. Would also be a good gift.

I love this thing. I think it's better than those ones that cost two to three times more. More space inside and with theflatter top, you can use it upside down like a dutch oven, hey doubles the function. Being cast iron it heats evenly.Cleans really easy. For price, you can not beat it.

Great value, versatile, awesome

Bought it as a Christmas present for my wife. Avid sourdough baker. She has been very happy with the performance. Does a great job forming the crust on the bread we’ve done both round and oval loaf with no problems.
