Emile Henry Artisan Bread Baker | Charcoal

I had been using dutch ovens to bake my sourdough but a neighbor who I baked for, offered me his since he could bake well. As it turns out, with this I can bake 2 pound loaves and still have some room. I no longer need to take off the lid after partial baking to brown the loaf. I just leave the dough in it for the entire bake time and when I take the lid off, it is golden and crispy outside. Best part, I won't break/Crack when moving from hot to cold or vice versa. This allows me to do a cold start, and then for.my next loaf, drop the cold dough I to the hot baker. So I ended up getting a black one to add to my red one so I can bake 2 batards at the same ti.e and when do, load the next 2. Perfect

I have baked about 90 loaves of sourdough bread in this since we purchased it in 2021. Following their instructions the crust comes out great every time, the bread cooks evenly and the oblong shape of the loaf is great for sandwiches. I am thinking about buying a second one in case something happens to the current one. They seemed a little expensive when I purchased the first one and in three years the price has increased by $20. They recommended oiling the inside and flouring the surface before using but that was hard to clean so now we dust the loaves and bottom of the dish with semolina. The bread doesn't stick and it is a snap to clean.The unit is ceramic and I worry about breaking it on our quartz counters but I would replace it in a heartbeat.

I thought it was a goner! With one hand I was holding the top piece upside-down about 12” above the bottom piece, which was on the counter. I had just unpacked it and was looking it over. The top slipped out of my hand and free fell into the bottom piece. CRASH! My heart stopped. It bounced onto the counter top. Not even a scratch in the top piece that fell. Only the tiniest piece of glaze chipped off the edge of the bottom piece. It’s a badge of honor. Well It’s broken-in now. And, I don’t have to worry about breaking if it gets slightly banged around during use. Very durable just as advertised. Great looking piece too. Third loaf getting baked this morning!

Great for sourdough. RecommendedAfter 3rd use cracked. Bake by 480F.Realy sad. RETURN

I got this so that I could be sure my sourdough bread would rise more than in a cloche I have of the same brand. It works! The size of the loaf takes about 3/4 of what I previously used to make two loaves, so it makes a large loaf. It works well to hold steam in for half the bake. Taking the top off after that is tricky, because it is very hot, but it does what is intended. I think it could break easily, so care is necessary in handling.

This is my second time buying this and it broke it cracked twice. I am a micro baker and I needed my pot, but they would not send it to me until I returned it back and after I did, I still had a problem getting it. It’s not worth the money if you’re gonna buy something like this by the. Le creust

Was hesitant to order after reading reviews of damaged upon arrival. Haven’t tried (Christmas gift) yet but was double boxed with bubble wrap. Lid fit securely. Look forward to trying out. Will post after using.Tried first time. Made a great loaf. Check out photo. Used recipe on pg. 12 of manual. The shape of the bread is from the basket used to let it rise.Second try. Let the dough rise in bread baker after knocking down once. It doubled in size. Works well either putting the baker in oven and heating first or letting rise and put in oven room temperature.About 7th try in last photo. Got it dialed in after making adjustments for elevation (4800 ft) and high humidity due to snow. Great crust and bread crackles when taking out of oven. Upped temp to 500f 12 mins with lid on and 12 with lid removed for browning. Preheat oven to 500f with bread baker for 30 mins and put in with parchment paper. Used 9” basket for second rise.

This is the best bread form I have ever used! Bread comes out so much better with this form. I recommend this very much! The pizza stones are just as good! Love this product.

J'aime. Il cuit bien mon pain est toujours parfait

For a no knead bread this make a great loaf with an excellent crust. Well worth the cost!

This is my third baker from this store, and I love each one of them for varying reasons. This one makes a nice artisan oval shape, and cleans up so well, soak it in clean water for an hour wipe and dry and air dry and ready for the next. It's just so pretty to even look at, I got the red. Very happy with my purchase of this and the other two. Well worth the money if you do sourdough or any other breads.

Facile d’utilisation, l’ustensile confère au pain , une belle croûte dorée.
