Enamelled Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot – Dutch Oven For Sourdough Bread Baking – Cast Iron Bread Pot – Orange, 6 Quarts, 26cm – by Nuovva

Somewhere between watching steam rise from a fresh 12-grain boule and hearing the crack of crust as it cooled, I realized this pot had officially joined the short list of things I’d grab in a house fire. Let’s start with the color: deep, rich blue with just the right amount of enamel gloss to feel like you have your life together — or at least like you're trying. It sits on the stove like it owns the place, and honestly? It kind of does. Now the performance: I use this primarily for bread, specifically a homemade 12-grain boule that I pretend is rustic and wholesome but is really just my ADHD therapy project in edible form. This Dutch oven nails it every time. The size (6 quarts) is perfect — not too cavernous, not too shallow. Just enough to let your dough rise into the kind of round, radiant loaf that says: yes, I do read ingredient labels, and no, I’m not going back to store-bought. Heat distribution? Even. Steam retention? Excellent. Cleaning? Surprisingly chill, as long as you don’t treat it like a steel pan from 1994. It’s sturdy without being a wrist injury. It holds heat like it’s personal. And it does all of this without the premium price tag that usually comes with cookware that has a French name and generational baggage. I haven’t made chili in it yet, but let’s not kid ourselves — that’s only because I’m still too focused on baking loaves and pretending I’m in a cottagecore montage. Final note: if you’re on the fence, wondering if you need a dedicated bread pot — you do. This one. Right here. Skip the influencer-stamped $400 ones and go with this hardworking, beautiful beast that just quietly delivers. This isn’t a purchase. It’s a culinary turning point.

Everything about this pot is PERFECT! I cannot love it more! The price seems too good to be true for the value. I have a very high end Dutch oven deep stew pot and this one is just as good if not better. It’s perfect for bread baking. It also cleans very easy and after about 2 dozen uses, still looks and performs perfectly! If you’re a bread maker, GET THIS, you can’t beat this pot for the value!

Love it! I'm newish to sourdough baking and love this pan. I find it easier to load the dough and remove the bread than I do in my when using my traditional Dutch oven. The bread bakes well with great rise and beautiful color. The base of the pan worked perfectly when I baked a small pizza with a sourdough crust. The crust baked fluffy and tender with a delicious crispy crust. Besides the functionality, this pan is so pretty and looks great on a shelf in my kitchen.

I love this Dutch oven for baking my GF sourdough bread. The end product is not only beautiful with a medium brown crust, and has a tender loaf inside. My ONLY quibble is that the manufacturer suggest a little vegetable oil on the edge to keep the edge of the pan from rusting. Obligingly, I did so, and after the pan had preheated the oil dripped down inside and blackened, very hard to scrub off. I suggest - skip the oil, just dry carefully. Lovely pan otherwise.

Absolutely love this dutch oven. Reasonably price with good quality. The sim fit quite well so the steam doesn't escape easily. It's somewhat hefty so you have to handle with both hands.. Low profile pan makes it easy to load the sourdough while the high dome ensures enough head room for oven spring. It is the optimal size if your dough is less than 1000 gram and preferrably using round Banneton basket. My first trial was using oval Banneton and the longer edges could barely fits pan even though the result was still remarkable. I produced my best sourdough with it and expect many more to come.

Love this pan, my sourdough bread cooks perfectly and no dark bottom

I have managed with standard Dutch ovens to burn myself quite badly attempting to put bread rounds into the pot. All of that is taken care with this wonderful design. Easy to clean. So far I just have to wipe it out once it’s cooled. My bread turns out wonderful and my skin is intact.

This is a lovely bread pot, but the lid is very difficult to put into place. It needed more of an overlap. Also the edges rust easily, even with effort to make sure they are dried after use. If you make a lot of sourdough bread, it might be wise to invest in a more expensive cooker. For the price, this is fine.

I'm very happy with the item, I do recommend this seller.

It's awesome. Period

Juste parfait très beau matériel !!

This cast iron Dutch oven is solid, heavy, and holds heat beautifully. It gives sourdough a perfect crust and even bake every time. The enamel finish looks great and makes cleaning easy. It’s a bit heavy to handle when hot, but that’s expected with cast iron. Great quality for the price.

Toller Brottopf! Das Brot gelingt jedesmal perfekt! Vorm Backen einfetten/mehlen und kurz aufheizen. Super! Eine Nummer kleiner wäre auch schön zu besitzen
