Product Description
This bare cast iron bread pan is designed for home baking and general cooking. The solid cast iron construction distributes heat evenly, and the deep lid helps create a consistent steam environment for bread and other baked dishes.

The pan can also be used for roasting and other stovetop or oven cooking tasks, within the stated temperature limits.
