The Baking Shell creates the perfect environment for baking great bread. Lightweight and easy to handle, it requires no preheating. Heat quickly passes through the shell and steam is trapped under it. For the perfect combination of a classic dough rise and crackling crispy crust, lift the shell off halfway through baking. With the Baking Shell, you get the same results as traditional pre-heated and heavy cast iron vessels, without the stress of lugging around a searing hot and heavy pot. The most frantic part of bread baking is now the easiest. Just slide the bread dough onto any flat baking surface in your oven and place the shell over it. Also used as a convenient cover to keep bread fresh when stored on a countertop, butcher block, or cutting board.
