Usage Recommendations

Place the oven in a preheated oven to ensure even heat transfer. For sourdough, allow the dough to rise in a warm spot before transferring it into the oven. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent warping. Use a baking sheet or tray beneath to catch any drips. For best results, use a light layer of oil on the interior surface when first seasoning. Consider that the oven may take time to reach full heat, so patience is key.

The oven is ideal for those who bake regularly and want a tool that performs consistently across different batches. According to the manufacturer, it maintains heat stability over long durations, which supports the development of airy, well-structured loaves.
