TeamFar Cast Iron Bread Dutch Oven, 6 Qt Enameled Dutch Oven Pot for Sourdough Bread Baking, with Tall Dome Lid & Round Base Pan, Self-Basting & Even-Heating, Heavy-Duty & Non-stick, Blue

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this Dutch Oven. But I knew didn’t want to use my big 7 quart Dutch oven that I often use for soups, stews, roasts, etc. I didn’t want that pot damaged by the high heat when making artisan bread. I bought this Dutch oven mainly because of the enameled exterior, and the sealed interior. When I got it, the interior looked a lot like a standard cast-iron pan that you have to season. To my surprise, the bread did not stick to the unseasoned interior surface. The lid sealed well on the base, and my loaves all came out beautifully. The pan does have a heft to it. The metal knob on the lid is positioned well, adequately sized, and is easy to grasp with a hot pad. The pan does get incredibly hot as per the baking instructions, so use thick hot pads. I recommend not using silicone pads, mine melted on the pan. Thick terry and cotton hot pads worked best for me, and the melted silicone cleaned off easily. The side handles are set well away and are easy to grasp. This is my new go to pan for baking artisan breads. I will be looking for an oval shaped one from the same manufacturer, if available. I certainly recommend it for baking artisan breads, including sourdough bread. The best thing of all with this pan was the price point. I honestly did not expect the build quality and excellent performance from a Dutch oven costing less than $50.00

I love this Dutch Oven! I purchased it because I am starting to make sourdough bread! It does a great job and I love the color! Definitely recommend

I love this Dutch oven for bread baking. Much easier to use. The pan is heavy and the over lid is heavy, but still easier to use than a standard Bread Dutch oven. Olor is bright and beautiful.

Excellent LeCruset dupe! Heavy enameled cast iron for baking sourdough bread. Beautiful color, well made. Much more affordable than the original

Purchased for my daughter in-law. She made bread in her new bread pot over Christmas and the loaf came out great!
