Key Features

Designed to make sourdough baking feel simpler, more controlled, and more consistent.

The shallow base gives you more room when scoring and transferring dough, while the tight-fitting lid traps steam to help create taller loaves, crisp crusts, and stronger oven spring.

  • Easier Dough Handling: The shallow base gives you safer, easier access when scoring and loading dough into the oven.
  • Steam-Sealed Baking: The tight-fitting lid traps moisture during baking to help develop better rise, fuller volume, and crisp crusts.
  • More Than Bread: Use the lid and base separately for roasting, braising, and everyday cooking when the baking is done.
  • Available in durable enameled cast iron or classic pre-seasoned cast iron.

Arrived Damaged? We'll Make It Right.

Cast iron is heavy, and occasionally accidents happen during transit.

If your cookware arrives chipped, cracked, or damaged, simply send us a photo. We'll arrange a replacement right away—no return required.

Safe, Pure & Non-Toxic

Cookware should be built from materials you can trust.

We use cast iron, finished in enamel or a natural pre-seasoned surface. No synthetic non-stick coatings.

Enamelled Cast Iron

A durable layer of glass enamel fused to cast iron creates a non-reactive cooking surface that's easy to clean and requires no seasoning.

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron

Seasoned with 100% vegetable oil and ready to use from day one. With regular cooking, the seasoning naturally develops and improves over time.

No PFAS or PTFE

No synthetic non-stick coatings. No PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, or cadmium.

Use & Care

Heat Management

  • Low to Medium is Best: Cast iron retains heat exceptionally well, so high heat is rarely necessary. Cooking on low to medium heat prevents food from sticking, protects the smooth finish of enameled pieces, and maintains the natural patina on pre-seasoned iron.

Utensil Choice

  • For Enamel: We highly recommend using wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic tools to prevent scratching and preserve the pristine finish.
  • For Pre-Seasoned Iron: Highly resilient and tolerant. It can handle metal utensils, though gentle use will always extend the life of your cookware.

Cleaning & Upkeep

  • Hand Wash Recommended: Clean with warm, soapy water and a gentle sponge.
  • Dry Immediately (Crucial for Pre-Seasoned): Never let cast iron soak. For pre-seasoned pieces, dry thoroughly immediately after washing and rub a light layer of cooking oil over the surface before storing to prevent rust.

Oven & Temperature Safety

  • Oven-Safe to 500°F (260°C): Fully safe for baking and slow-roasting.
  • Avoid Thermal Shock: Never place a hot pan into cold water or onto a cold surface. Always allow your cookware to cool gradually to room temperature before rinsing to prevent cracking or warping.

12-Month Warranty

If your cookware develops chipping, cracking, or flaking due to a manufacturing defect within 12 months, we’ve got your back with a seamless replacement or refund. Learn More.

How we keep our prices fair

Traditional cookware brands pass through middlemen, wholesalers, and retail shelves—with each step adding a hefty markup to the final price tag.

We do things differently. By partnering directly with world-class foundries and bringing our pieces straight to your door, we cut out the unnecessary costs.

The result: Heirloom-quality cast iron—whether enameled or pre-seasoned—delivered to you with total transparency and a remarkably fair price.

  • Made For Batards

    Not every loaf wants to be round. The elongated shape gives batards the support they need to rise upward instead of spreading outward.

  • Dark cyan oval bread oven with lid and base tray, plus two covered side dishes

    Holds Its Shape

    The elongated shape gives dough gentle support as it expands, helping create taller, more defined loaves.

  • Oval bread oven filled with shrimp and tomato sauce, topped with herbs

    Works Beyond Bread

    When you’re not baking sourdough, it still functions as a practical cast iron piece for roasting, braising, and everyday cooking.
