CRUSTLOVE Rectangular Cast Iron Dutch Oven for Bread Baking - incl. Sourdough Bread-Baking Supplies - 3.2QT Bread-Pan for Homemade-Bread, Sour dough Bread-Pans with Lid, Bread-Oven, Bread-Baking-Pan

I’m so impressed with the CRUSTLOVE Cast Iron Dutch Oven for Bread Baking. As someone who bakes sourdough regularly, I’ve tried several pans and proofing baskets, but this set is honestly one of the best I’ve used. The 5QT cast iron Dutch oven is heavy, durable, and holds heat beautifully, giving my bread that crisp, golden crust and perfect rise. The lid traps steam exactly the way you want for sourdough. My loaves come out consistently gorgeous. The fact that it includes all the essential sourdough tools—a banneton proofing basket, liner, lame, and accessories—makes it an amazing value. The banneton helps create that classic round shape, and the lame is sharp and easy to control, so scoring designs is effortless. I also love that the Dutch oven is versatile enough to use for soups, roasting, and everyday cooking, not just baking. If you’re just getting into sourdough or want to upgrade your setup, this kit has everything you need in one purchase. Highly recommend—this is truly a great bread-making bundle

Very well made and comes with many extras (though no sling as noted by others - this can cause confusion as it is designated in the owners manual. I use parchment paper). Note: in initial heating cycle I recommend leaving top separate from base as the lid to base seal is very good and burn-off fumes will get trapped. This can be pretty stinky. Works well for small to medium large size loaves. Very worth while purchase if you are into baking bread. BTW- can also possibly be used for oven cooking and brazing as base is about 2-3/4' deep. UPDATE: I do not recommend following the recipes in the owner's manual. I have tried the raisin bread recipe 3 times and it never comes out. Liquid to dry ingredient ration results in too dry a dough. I will not rise properly.

Love this kit! Great for bread. The weight of the items are good , easy to use . The basket works great with heat distribution, size and

I got this for my mom for Christmas. It’s wonderful! I love the little book that comes with recipes and tips on how to make different breads. All of the products are high quality and the cast iron was easy to season and use. I highly recommend if you want to start making bread I would get this because you get everything you need in one place for an affordable price.

This is a nice kit. Had everything I needed to start making bread. Not sure what that bowl is for? It is a lovely Bowl to put a gift in or store cat food?

It’s been a year since I bought these still holding up great and cooking bread every other day. Awesome buy with awesome quality

I can’t say enough good things about this rectangular Dutch oven. First off, the shape is a game-changer. Unlike traditional round Dutch ovens, the rectangular design fits perfectly in my oven and on my stovetop, giving me more usable cooking space and better fits for larger cuts of meat or whole chickens. The heat distribution is incredible—everything cooks evenly, from slow braises to baked casseroles. The heavy cast iron construction retains heat beautifully and locks in moisture, making every dish juicy and tender. Plus, the enamel coating makes cleanup effortless, and there’s zero sticking even when cooking delicate recipes. It’s versatile beyond belief. I’ve used it for roasting vegetables, baking bread, simmering stews, and even making desserts. The lid seals tightly, so flavors meld perfectly, and the sturdy handles make it easy to transfer from stove to table. Durability-wise, this thing feels like it will last a lifetime. It’s well worth the investment for anyone serious about cooking. If you want a practical, high-quality piece of cookware that delivers consistently excellent results, this rectangular Dutch oven is absolutely the way to go.

Works so well when lowering my dough into my deep Dutch oven. Heat distributes nicely and I have yet to have a burnt bottom. I can use it for different shapes of loaves, and sizes. I have loved using this during all my sourdough bakes.
