Juste parfait très beau matériel !!

I had been baking my bread in a 7.25 qt Le Creuset dutch oven. I needed to bake a LOT of bread for a fundraiser, so I started looking for a cast iron bread oven or multi cooker – something with a shallow base and tall lid. I was looking at the Le Creuset bread oven, but $300+ for such a specific pan... OUCH! This pan came up as a suggestion. For $60, I'll give it a try. I am so happy I did! This pan bakes the most beautiful bread, golden crust, perfection! The pan arrived well packed, no chips or damage. It's nearly the exact same color as my Le Creuset Cerise red pans. My Le Creuset are older, so they have black knobs not silver. The interior of this pan is a light enamel just like the LC dutch ovens. One thing that drove me to this pan instead of the LC bread oven is the LC bread oven has a matte black interior. In my experience, the darker the pan, the darker the finished product… This pan has the same height at the 7.25qt LC dutch oven. This pan bakes bread just as nice as my LC dutch oven. Nice even heating. I mostly use a silicone bread sling. I use parchment sheets if there are additions (blueberries, cheddar/jalapeno, etc) to prevent a mess in the pan as they bubble/burn. I always have a pizza stone on the rack directly under the pan when baking bread, whether using this pan or the LC dutch oven. Grandma said to do it, so I do!! Guess it helps prevent a dark bottom on the bread. This pan is a workhorse. I baked 144 loaves in 6 weeks, plus many more since then. The pan is still in great condition, no chips or cracks. The silver knob on top is a duller silver, but that is expected after many hours in a 450 oven.
