Brod & Taylor Bread Steel, Lightweight Alternative to Pizza Stones and 1/4" Baking Steels, Fast Heat-Up and Even Heat Distribution for Baking Bread & Cooking Pizza with Bakery-Quality Results, Grey

Wow. If, like me, you want something lighter weight than a dutch oven, this plus an old upturned steel mixing bowl with a knob added by my other half as a cover does the trick. I did not want to have to lift something very heavy and ruinously hot, and was worried about my normal baking sheets. So, with this I just lift the bread. Easier and safer. You do have to use a flat plate of some kind to put the bread onto the steel, but find something you can gently slide it off and into the steel sitting on a piece of baking parchment or similar and it is easy enough. A luxury purchase, but looks like it will last forever.

Really useful for baking my sourdough as I leave it in the bottom of the oven so no heavy lifting, great quality item
