Allesken Verdeluxe Cast Iron Bread Dutch Oven Red 2.3 L

Bake delicious homemade bread with a soft, airy crumb and a beautifully crisp crust using the Allesken Verdeluxe Cast Iron Bread Dutch Oven Red 2.3 L. This heavy cast iron bread pot creates excellent baking conditions for sourdough bread, rustic loaves and other homemade breads.

Cast iron retains heat exceptionally well and distributes it evenly throughout the baking process. The fitted cast iron lid traps steam released by the dough, keeping the surface flexible during the initial baking stage. This allows the bread to expand in the oven before developing a wonderfully crisp crust.

Designed for baking bread

One of the key advantages of this bread Dutch oven is its low, spacious base. Compared with a traditional deep casserole dish, the shallow base makes it easier to transfer shaped dough into the pot. With a diameter of approximately 28 cm, it offers space for beautifully shaped round loaves.

The pot is made from durable cast iron with a protective enamel coating. Its stylish red exterior and light-coloured interior give it an attractive appearance.

Versatile cast iron cookware

Although particularly suitable for baking bread, this cast iron pot can also be used for roasting, braising, stewing and a variety of oven dishes. It is suitable for induction, electric and halogen hobs, as well as oven and grill use.

Care and maintenance

Before first use, wash the pot with washing-up liquid and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Always allow a hot pot to cool gradually and never rinse it with cold water. For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water for 15–20 minutes.

Avoid sharp or abrasive utensils and do not heat the pot empty for extended periods, as this may damage the enamel coating. Wash by hand and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
