That I bought another one so I could bake two loaves at once. We go through a lot of bread here, and I love to share with friends and neighbors so I bake almost daily.
Through the years I have tried all sorts of bakeware. For artisan breads I like the cloche by Sassafrass. But for regular loaves you can't beat these stoneware pans. The bread comes out evenly browned, with a lovely rise and shape every time.
Easy to clean, also works fine for meatloaf. And beautiful. What's not to love?
I'm a longtime believer in cast iron so I am slowly collecting Le Creuset pieces. I have other stoneware baking pieces of theirs and they all perform wonderfully.
This stuff is pricey, each purchase has been saved and planned for. And you can cook just as well in a Lodge skillet or dutch oven. It doesn't have to be blue or enamel lined.

I love Le Creuset. I have many pieces although this is the first bakeware I've tried. Everything I have baked in this comes out better than using Pyrex and I don't have to worry about it exploding like the Pyrex will. The bread raises higher and is moist and the meatloaf is so much better. The pan washes so easy. I love it!
Best bread pan,

This pan makes the most beautiful loaves! We baked half the batch in standard metal pans and half in stoneware. The bread out of the metal pans had crusty sides and bottom while the loaves out of the stoneware were much softer. I won't be going back to metal bread pans!
