For many foodies, Le Creuset is an iconic name. Known for its cast iron designs encompassing everything from casserole dishes to skillets, it's renowned for its durability, functionality and brightly coloured designs.
It's good news for fans of the coveted cookware brand as Le Creuset has announced it is launching a brand new cast iron bread oven: a first for the company. The latest launch is said to create "bakery-style bread" from your home.
So, just how does the cast iron bread oven work? Le Creuset says: "The Le Creuset Bread Oven takes home baking to the next level of delicious and beautiful. Crafted from the brand’s legendary cast iron for superior heat distribution, this purpose-built shape is designed to produce bakery-quality results. Whether you prefer a sweet or savoury loaf, the possibilities are endless.
"A domed lid traps and circulates steam for maximum rise and ultimate flavour, while the low-profile base promotes even browning and produces a golden, crispy crust marked with Le Creuset’s hallmark three rings. With an easy-to-clean matte black interior enamel and ergonomic knobs and handles, the Le Creuset Bread Oven makes it effortless to bake like the experts at home."
The Le Creuset Bread Oven is currently available in two gorgeous and iconic colours: Volcanic (a bright orange) and Matte Black. A third colour, Cerise (a vibrant red), is in the pipeline. It is compatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 260°C.
The Le Creuset Cast Iron Bread Oven is now available to buy from the Le Creuset website and stores for £220.
Ideal for any baking enthusiast.
