Spun Iron Baking Cloche with 31cm Griddle and Baking Plate

This spun iron baking cloche is an extraordinary piece of bakeware for making extraordinary bread.

The bell dome retains the steam and improves the crust on all loaves, particularly sourdough, making it golden and crackly. The 'crumb' is also lighter. Find our 'Ultimate guide to making sourdough in an Aga range cooker' here! or take the next step and check out this wonderful sourdough recipe book from Andrew Whitley

• Both the bell dome and the griddle/baking plate come pre-seasoned with an edible flax oil for a natural non-stick finish, which make them easy to clean.
• The 2mm thick iron means you get great heat retention, superb even baking and no soggy bottoms!
• This is not a lightweight piece of kitchen equipment, together it weighs 4.92kg plus whatever you are baking.
• The tray diameter is 31cm and handle to handle is 42cm.
• The height of bell and tray to the top of the knob is 19cm.

Once you've baked your bread keep it fresh with some of our beautiful beeswax, or vegan, wraps.

Spun Iron Cookware Care & Tips

Cooking with cast, black or spun iron every day.

Pre-heat the cast, black or spun iron as this will reduce food sticking

Avoid cooking food that is very cold as this is more likely to stick.

Remember hot iron will retain heat for a long time.

Always pick up cast, black or spun iron by wooden handles (if fitted) and use oven gloves.

After cooking.

Remove cooked food from pre-seasoned cast, black and spun iron bowls, lids, pans, cook and bakeware immediately after cooking and before the food cools.

Cold damp food will encourage the cookware to rust and you will need to re-season more often.

Seasoned iron-cookware is not suitable for storing wet or moist foods.

Do not store food in iron cookware in refrigerators or freezers.

Acidic Foods.

Additional care is required when you cook recipes containing acidic foods

(eg: tomatoes, citrus juices and recipes containing vinegar or wine).

We suggest that you re-season before using these foods.

The high acidity of these foods may create superficial rust if they have insufficient seasoned coatings.

Don’t worry if you see any rust appearing after cooking using these types of ingredients. Follow the instructions for re-seasoning your product and it will soon be back to as good as new condition.

Cleaning pre-seasoned cast iron, black and spun iron.

Never clean the cast, black or spun iron bowl, lid or pan in a dishwasher.

Don't place, when hot, into very cold water as this might cause it to crack or warp.

After use, clean the bowl with a stiff plastic brush and hot water. Do not use soap or detergent. Immediately dry with a towel.

If you find that some food has stuck, place in boiling water or boil water in it to soften stuck food. 

Never allow the bowl, lid or pan to stand and air-dry as this will encourage rusting.

Storing cast, black and spun iron bowls, lids, pans, cook and bakeware.

Store in a dry airy place.

Don't store with lids on, as this can trap moisture and encourage rust.

Your oven is a great place to store your iron cook and bakeware, just remember to remove it before turning on the oven.
