In addition, energy is wasted Review: I realised something about Le Creuset products after getting this! - I had my sourdough ready to bake on the day of arrival of this bread oven. The results were at the next level from the last few loaves I have baked. I am a rooky in the sourdough baking baking art and have only baked another four loaves before using this bread oven. All others were baked in a same colour volcanic orange 'Le Creuset Signature Enamelled Cast Iron Round Casserole Dish With Lid, 24 cm'. We have had this for circa 10 years and it has been very well used and has been the best bit of cooking kit we have. I am sure it will fought over when the time comes for a family member to inherit it! I know others have mentioned that the Dutch oven is OK for baking bread, but my bread was sticking in the Casserole pot as it has too high sides, and it was a pain to get the bread out, not to mention it did fit into my combi microwave, but had to sit on the base, even after removing the lid for bake stage two. However, this Bread oven is brilliant for several reasons. After the first initial 'lid on bake', I can remove the dome part, lift it up to a shelf in my combi oven, and get it browned easier with all around heat. Makes a HUGE difference! My combi is a Panasonic 1000w 28 litres BTW. So now my olive, sundried tomato bread has the moist inner and crunchy crust we all look for. The best loave I have made so far. BUT HERE IS THE 'KILLER APP'! I happened to try interchanging the lids between the casserole pot and the bread oven and they fitted perfectly, I mean like it was meant to be so! I have never seen Le Creuset mentioning this interchangeability in their products, but maybe they should because it doubles the versatility of both pots. So glad I bought this now! Review: Middle age culinary contentment - My transition into middle aged contentment is complete now I have this. It's a thing of beauty. My family are terrified of going near it in case they damage it, as they know my fury would be Immense. Love it.

My family are terrified of going near it in case they damage it, as they know my fury would be Immense. Love it. Great colour. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bread! Bread! Glorious bread! *by J***M on 20 June 2023* My Le Creuset! Love it! Pricey and very much the rolls royce of bread/dutch ovens, but boy is it worth it. I've been making bread for about a year now and use my breadmaking as a form of therapy. The more I bake the better I feel. And I'm definitely feeling so much better! The Le Creuset makes baking easy and most rewarding. Yes you can make good bread with other ovens and kitchen kit, but I'd say if you're not an experienced or skilled home baker, this will give you confidence that your bread will turn out exactly as you envisaged. Even experienced home bakers will find that the simplicity with which the Le Creuset produces tasty crusty bread, without the need for pans of hot water in the bottom of the oven or the spraying of water into the oven, is a wonder. Let loose your sense of adventure as you try out different and varied recipes, knowing your Le Creuset has your back. Great results! Great price (I got mine at 30% off) and it doesn't half look grand in my kitchen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Bread Oven, Licorice - Superbaking Banneton Bread Proofing Basket, Sourdough Bread Baking Supplies, Round 9 Inch Sourdough Starter Kit, Proofing Basket for Baking, Bread Making Supplies Tools, Banneton Basket Gift Set - Koolstuffs Silicone Bread Sling for Dutch Oven, 2 PCS Non-Stick & Easy Clean Reusable Silicone Bread Baking Mat with Long Handles, Easy to Transfer Sourdough Bread, BM02 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/523760950-le-creuset-signature-cast-iron-bread-oven-24cm-matte-black](https://www.desertcart.us/products/523760950-le-creuset-signature-cast-iron-bread-oven-24cm-matte-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
