Product Description

Amazon.com Review
For centuries food has been cooked in earthenware pots over open fires or in brick ovens. Römertopf carries on this tradition by crafting clay pots and dishes specifically intended for cooking a variety of vegetables, meats, casseroles, and breads in the home oven. Manufactured in Mexico, each vessel is made from unglazed and porous terra cotta containing no lead or cadmium. Before each use, the pot is soaked in water in order to absorb a certain amount of moisture into the permeable clay. This moisture is slowly released during cooking, sealing in the natural juices and increasing the flavor and tenderness.
Decorated to look like a bread basket, the Römertopf bread baker is sculpted with a lattice-work exterior and braided-rope outer lip. Measuring 5-1/4 by 9-1/4 inches, the baker is ideal for making savory and sweet loaves for any occasion. A glazed interior ensures that the bread does not stick to the bottom or sides of the baker. While the baker can be used in both the oven and microwave, it is intended to be used primarily in the oven. Due to their porous and unglazed nature, the pots should not be exposed to extreme temperature changes, and Römertopf recommends washing all clay pots by hand. --Lea Werbel

Summary: Bread baker 2007-11-18
Comment: As with all clay bakeware fron Reco I am once again delighted with the way this performs. The breads I make are old family recipes and for years I used Grandma's old metal pans and that was fine but over the years those old pans have started to fail. Since I started using the clay bakers the crust turn an even golden brown top and bottom AND I don't have to worry about lining the pans any more. Love this bread baker.

This baker does produce a nice crust on the sides and bottom of the loaves, but I must admit there was a bit of a learning curve to prevent the bread from sticking to the baker on the sides and bottom. I found that even if I greased the baker, it was not a good idea to let the loaf do the last raise in the baker.
To get perfect results without the bread sticking to the baker:
1) Let the dough raise in an oval or rectangular proofing basket or other container.
2) Grease the sides and bottom of the baker lightly with Crisco shortening.
3) Put the baker in a cold oven and preheat with the oven to a temperature of 485 degrees letting it preheat at least 15 minutes after the oven gets to temperature.
4) Make an aluminum foil tent that fits over the baker leaving room above the baker for the bread to rise.
5) When the dough has finished the last raise, carefully drop it into the preheated baker and cover it with the tent. The tent prevents the top of the bread from getting too brown.
6) The last 15 minutes of the baking time, reduce the temperature to 450 degrees, and remove the tent to allow the bread to brown.
When the bread is done baking, you can easily dump it onto a cooling rack with no sticking. Use heat resistent gloves to handle the baker so you don't get burned. It stays very hot for a while. Let it air cool on a stove burner. Do not run water into it as extreme temperature changes will cause it to crack.
