I really like the size. I wish the handles on the top were a little higher. Hard to get it off without the fear of burning my hand. Definitely need to wear mitts to remove it. That’s why I gave it 4 stars
I bought 2 for my boyfriend, he used them last week for the first time, and he was very happy with them.
Great quality. Bakes bread beautifully. Use it regularly to make the only bread we eat now.
Great customer service. The interior of the bread oven is rough and very porous, so it will absorb all stains and smells.
Thanks for your feedback, glad you had a good experience with our service.
The interior is matte enameled cast iron, so it feels slightly textured compared to glossy enamel. Unlike raw cast iron, it doesn’t require seasoning, and the enamel surface is durable, easy to care for, and resistant to staining over time.
We hope you enjoy baking with it.
Excellent switchover for smaller homemade sourdough sandwich loaves. Helps overcome the floppy rise I sometimes have with imperfect breadproofing and high hydration. Not to be overpacked with over 500g of dough.
So far I have used this once but it worked just fine and I got a nice loaf of bread.
Cooking rice working quite well.
Boiling soup also very good.
If you are looking for reliable, premium cookware, I highly recommend this piece. The Dutch oven is exquisitely crafted, built to last, and arrived in perfect condition. It looks absolutely stunning in the kitchen! I also have to commend their brilliant customer service team for their prompt and polite assistance.
Purchased for my daughter in law and she’s loves it. The color was a perfect match for her kitchen decor.
Best sourdough bread I have ever baked. Golden crust, tender bread with heavenly smell and taste. Definitely took my baking experience to the next level.
Great for our sourdough baking, very usable and versatile. Heats up nicely, and the handles make it easier to remove from a hot oven. Just the right size for what we needed.
Excellent quality at a great price. Bread bakes with great crust and perfect texture. Definitely rekindled my baking enthusiasm. Baking is funagain
I bought two bread ovens and bake two loaves at a time. It took awhile to master the sourdough process (through no fault of my ovens!) and I’ve recommend them to other bakers. They’re the best.
Thank you for the great review! Those sourdough loaves in your photos look fantastic.
Thanks again for your support and for recommending us to other bakers.
I love my two Cactus bread ovens, and now that I finally broke the sourdough code, my loaves turn out perfect every time. And this company is wonderful, too. Buy with confidence! By the way, I use both ovens in a standard range oven and both loaves are basically identical.
I just made my first sourdough ever in this pan. I am 70 and have arthritis in my hands/wrists so I was concerned about weight. I managed this pan easily and my bread came out perfect. I highly recommend this pan if you’re serious about making sourdough. I plan to get a rectangular pan as well. Shipping was also a good experience.
Really, really works well for my sourdough loaf. Lines it with parchment and the bread baked perfectly!
Love it!! My sourdough bakes perfectly every time,and the crust color is amazing!!
