great dutch oven for making Artesian bread, thick and heavy as cast iron should be

Excellent quality. Super for baking my sourdough boules.

I bought this Dutch oven for the express purpose of making homemade bread. My first try was a great success! The pan came pre-seasoned and with a lid; it's very sturdy and the handles are easy to grab with oven mitts. It's also a good size for bread. This is the no-knead artisan bread from the back of Bob's Red Mill package. The bread turned out perfect: soft & supple inside, firm and crusty exterior, a great size for snacks and sandwiches. I'm so stoked!

I bought this Dutch Oven strictly for baking bread and it’s perfect. Bread comes out so nice and crispy yet soft inside. I bought the cast iron because of even heat distribution I didn’t want ceramic because I had some concern about ceramic coating on high heat. I’m careful not to place it on my glass top stove when I take it out of the oven because I’m not sure if it would cause a problem. I also wouldn’t recommend this for cooking on glass top stoves as it could scratch the surface. For gas or outdoor cooking I’m sure it would great. I was also able to find this in the Amazon Warehouse open box so I got a good price and a perfect product. I would highly recommend.

I was looking for a budget friendly, but quality Dutch oven for quite some time. I happened across this one and the price was right. I live in a tiny space and needed a medium sized Dutch oven for making my sourdough bread and I also wanted to use it for other things. The size is perfect and I love the handles on the sides and lid. It fits perfectly in my toaster oven and smoker. I love that it is a quality piece at a fraction of the price of some other brands. Would recommend and I would definitely buy again.

Love it for sourdough baking! Creates an even cooking environment every single time. I only wish the Cast Iron was less pimpled. Makes it a bit of a pain to clean and reseal with oil. Overall a great pan especially for the price. If you are looking at making bread, I would recommend this pan.

Great quality, cast iron (heavy), non stick. Works great to make round sourdough loaves.

I gave this as a present to my wife and she loved it.

I make every pot roast, brisket, short rib, oxtail in this pot. Only thing i should've done was research how to wash it BUT i am sure I will be able to reseason. Great Product - would buy again!

Nice pot. Not too heavy.

Love it! Very pleased. Perfect height for sour dough bread. Very good quality

Works great for sourdough dough!!
