BAKERY-QUALITY BREAD AT HOME - The Baking Shell creates the ideal environment for professional quality bread. Traps steam and evenly distributes heat for professional looking loaves with a crispy, golden crust and an airy interior. NO PREHEATING REQUIRED - Unlike a Dutch oven, this shell requires no preheating, so there's no need to touch a hot container. Just place your dough on a flat baking surface and cover with the shell. It also cools fast and won’t crack. LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY TO CLEAN - This ultralight shell weighs just 0.48 kg, unlike a 7-8 kg Dutch oven. Cleanup is simple, just give it a quick wipe, no need to scrub and re-season. This baking shell makes bread baking faster and easier. 3 EASY STEPS - 1. Preheat your oven with a steel or stone. 2. Place your risen dough on the hot surface. 3. Cover with the shell. That’s it! After 20 minutes, remove the shell and finish baking uncovered to brown the crust. It’s the simplest way to bake artisan bread at home. HOME-OVEN FRIENDLY - Designed for both gas and electric ovens. Works on stones, steels, or baking sheets.
