## Features

- 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. The food-safe aluminium withstands up to 288 °C and contains no chemical coatings like PTFE or PFOA. Dimensions: 203 x 140 x 318 mm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***. on 15 June 2025*

I’m new to sourdough baking and after a ton of research I came across this shell after seeing it on TikTok and thought what a great and light alternative to a super heavy Dutch oven. I’ve baked a few times with a Dutch oven and was getting annoyed at how heavy it was, it was also not yielding me the desired results in terms of bread structure etc. I used this just once and I was blown away by how light it is and how easy it is to use!! Highly recommend.
