Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Bread Oven

Summary

Designed to reproduce the effects of brick-oven baking, this enameled cast-iron bread oven from Le Creuset absorbs and retains heat evenly. It also redistributes the steam released by the dough as it cooks. This yields loaves with moist and tender interiors, light crumbs and crisp browned crusts.

• French-made bread oven doubles as proofing vessel.
• Enameled cast-iron construction boasts superior heat-retention and requires no additional seasoning.
• Glazed inside and out in durable porcelain enamel that resists chips, scratches and stains, and won't absorb flavors or odors.
• Tight-fitting dome lid traps and circulates steam to create maximum rise and crisp crust.
• Oven, broiler, freezer and dishwasher safe.
