- Is this cloche good for sourdough?
- Yes. The lid traps steam during the first part of the bake, which helps set a crisp, caramelized crust, and the cast iron holds heat for an even bake.
- Does it work on induction and gas?
- The cast iron conducts heat on gas, electric and induction stovetops as well as in the oven, so you can sear or roast in the same pan.
- How do I care for the pre-seasoned surface?
- Hand wash it, dry it fully and rub on a thin layer of oil now and then. Avoid harsh detergents and long soaks to keep the seasoning intact.
- What size loaf fits?
- The oval base takes a long loaf, so it suits large sourdough and sandwich breads. Round boules will leave more space at the ends.
- Can I use it for things other than bread?
- Yes. It works for searing steaks, baking focaccia and cornbread, and roasting vegetables.
- Is it oven safe at high heat?
- Cast iron handles high oven temperatures well, which is what bread baking needs. Use mitts, since the handles get hot.
