“I used it straight out of the box...I smeared a little vegetable oil on the base before heating as recommended in the instructions and put it into the oven from cold. After 30 minutes pre-heating I removed it from the oven and put a 750 gram sourdough loaf into the base. I slashed the top crust of the loaf with a lame and gave the loaf a quick misting of water, then on with the dome and into the oven for 45 minutes at 220 degrees C. I removed the dome after 35 minutes to let the loaf finish browning.
What a result! I got terrific oven spring and the loaf was a beautiful golden brown in colour. The crust was chewy with a lovely crisp "edge" to it. The crumb was open-textured, chewy and slightly moist. I will try to take a picture of the next loaf and send it in.
All in all, a great bit of kit.”

“This was bought for my sisters birthday. She was very pleased with the item which was packed really well. The purchase from Bakerybits was quick, easy and communications regarding delivery excellent.”
