I rarely carry my pan any longer than that though, so it’s not been a concern for me. They’re easy to clean too! However, I notice that mine heat up faster than the Ove Glove and get warm after 5-10 seconds of holding my preheated cast iron.

These gloves are unique because they’re waterproof and can handle extremely cold and hot temperatures ranging from -100✯ (-73✬) to 570✯ (299✬).Īnother plus is that these gloves offer more forearm protection if you are lowering your bread into a high-sided Dutch oven. Other oven gloves I use often are these LANON liquid silicone gloves. Note: Ove Gloves are often sold singularly, so purchase two if they don’t come in a pair! You can feel warmth using the gloves for over a few seconds, but they’ve never felt hot when I’ve used mine. It has grips, so a pan doesn’t slide out of your hands it’s also safe to use up to 540✯ (282✬). The Ove Glove is my favorite baking glove for balancing flexibility and high temperatures.

Lastly, it’s not cheap, although it’s as expensive as some high-end Dutch ovens.

You have to care for it like a cast iron skillet (maintenance is minimal, though, if you’re only cooking bread in it).

It’s quite heavy and large (22lbs), so it might not be the best option if you’re limited in kitchen or storage space.

While you can use it for other baking purposes with recipes like cornbread on their website, I use it as a single-use item for baking sourdough.

This pan gives me the best oven spring, blisters, and results.

It traps steam better than any Dutch oven I’ve used and is large enough to fit a boule (round), batard (ovals), or two demi-baguettes.

It’s made of heavy-duty cast iron specifically for baking the best sourdough.

A sourdough baker developed the Challenger Bread Pan.

If you want to advance your sourdough game and plan on baking bread for a long time, I recommend the Challenger Bread Pan. This is the pan I use to bake all of my bread. I couldn’t recommend the Challenger Bread Pan enough for sourdough bakers looking to invest in the absolute best baking vessel. Be sure to wear oven gloves when lowering a loaf in, or you can burn your forearms.

Furthermore, the high sides of a Dutch oven make transferring scored dough to the oven a bit of a pain.

Some report that enamel can chip or stain at high temperatures with heavy use over time.

Not all are heatproof to 500✯ (260✬), so that’s something to check for before baking bread.

They’re usually easy to clean since the enamel prevents rust.

They serve multiple purposes as roasters and stovetop cookers for soups/stews.

Enamel Dutch ovens come in various colors, sizes, and prices.Staub also offers different Dutch oven shapes. It’s high-quality, and the interior enamel is black, which helps bake the loaf a little darker than the Lodge Dutch oven. The Staub Dutch oven is similar to the Lodge version but made in France, considered a high-end Dutch oven.I’ve used mine for years with no chips or issues. The Lodge Dutch oven is extremely affordable, made in the U.S.A., and heavy-duty.👉 Two recommendations: My two favorite enameled Dutch ovens are from Lodge and Staub.
