Key Features

Cast Iron and a Steam-Retaining Dome

For home bakers working with elongated artisan loaves, the oval shape and covered construction work together. Cast iron retains heat to support even baking, while the domed lid holds steam around the dough to encourage rise, develop flavor and help create a crisp crust.

Shallow Ridged Base and Three-Ring Embossing

Crust development continues beneath the loaf, where the shallow, ridged base promotes browning. Three-ring embossing adds a recognizable finishing detail to the bread without parchment, bringing a distinctive presentation to your homemade loaves.

Matte Black Satin Interior, No Initial Seasoning

There is no initial seasoning step to complete before you begin baking. The damage-resistant enamel pairs easy care with a matte black satin interior that develops its own patina over repeated use.

Ergonomic Lifting Points and Crucible Knob

Ergonomic lifting points assist handling as you work with the covered baker. This Sea Salt configuration features the Crucible Knob, adding a distinctive detail to the bread oven's thoughtfully designed form.

French Craftsmanship and Dishwasher-Safe Care

French craftsmanship carries through the enameled cast iron construction and coordinated Sea Salt exterior. After baking a sourdough batard or sandwich loaf, dishwasher-safe cleaning keeps care straightforward.
