Product Description:
Take your baking to the next level with this extra-large cast iron bread pan from Crucible Cookware. With a deep base and heavy lid, this durable pan is designed for perfect loaves, hearty casseroles, and large-batch roasts. It offers a total capacity of 8.2 L (8.67 qt) and features six integrated loop handles for safe, balanced handling straight from oven to table.
What sets this pan apart is its superior heat retention and steam-trapping lid, which creates the ideal environment for baking bread with a professional finish. As your dough bakes, the lid holds in steam released from the loaf. This steam delays crust formation, allowing for maximum rise—known as "oven spring"—and prevents the crust from becoming tough or overly thick. The result: a beautifully risen loaf with a thin, crispy crust and deep, even browning—never burned or dried out.
