Crust from trapped steam
Open baking dries the surface before a crust can form. The tall domed lid seals steam around the dough for the first stretch of the bake, giving you the crackling, deep crust that defines a real artisan loaf.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
How hot can it go in the oven?
The bread pot is oven safe up to 500 degrees F, hot enough for the high heat baking that gives artisan loaves a crisp, deep crust.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash the enameled cast iron in warm, soapy water and dry it to protect the enamel finish for the long run.
What is the baking mat for?
The included silicone baking mat has bread diameter measurements printed on it to help you shape and size loaves before they go in the pot.
Do the handles get hot?
Yes. The whole pot heats through in the oven, so always use dry oven mitts on the body, handles, and lid knob.
Care & Use▼
Hand wash the pot and lid in warm, soapy water and dry them fully before storing. Do not put the enameled cast iron in the dishwasher. Let the pot cool before washing, avoid harsh metal scouring on the enamel, and always lift it with dry oven mitts because the body, handles, and knob all reach oven temperature.

Why your loaves come out better
Even, heavy heat
Thin pans leave hot spots and pale bottoms. Enameled cast iron soaks up heat and radiates it evenly all around the dough, so the loaf bakes through with consistent color instead of a burnt base and raw middle.
Shaping made simple
Guessing loaf size leads to lopsided bakes. The included silicone mat is printed with diameter measurements, so you shape each batch to fit the pot and get repeatable, even rounds every single time.

How it stacks up
Against baking on a sheet
An open sheet lets steam escape and the crust set too soon. A covered cast iron pot holds moisture around the dough for the oven spring and crackle a bare tray cannot deliver.
Against a thin bread pan
Lightweight pans heat unevenly and cool fast. Heavy enameled cast iron stores and radiates steady heat for a deep, even bake from the bottom crust to the top.
Against a bare cast iron pot
The smooth enamel interior needs no seasoning and releases the loaf cleanly, and the printed silicone mat makes shaping each batch far more consistent.
How hot can it go in the oven?
The bread pot is oven safe up to 500 degrees F, hot enough for the high heat baking that gives artisan loaves a crisp, deep crust.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash the enameled cast iron in warm, soapy water and dry it to protect the enamel finish for the long run.
What is the baking mat for?
The included silicone baking mat has bread diameter measurements printed on it to help you shape and size loaves before they go in the pot.
Do the handles get hot?
Yes. The whole pot heats through in the oven, so always use dry oven mitts on the body, handles, and lid knob.
How fast will it ship and can I return it?
Orders ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days. If it is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to return unused items in the original packaging.

CurbGo hunts for the well made version of everyday things and skips the markup. Artisan bread pots can run steep, so we looked for real enameled cast iron with a proper steam dome lid and a shaping mat in the box, then priced it so a home baker can chase a bakery crust without a boutique bill.
