How to use your long baker
- For best results, make sure to oil this unglazed pan with olive oil or non-stick vegetable oil spray before each use.
- Pan can be placed in a preheated oven, or a cold oven; either is fine.
- No need to soak the lid in water before using; the baking bread will generate its own steam.
- Please don’t subject the pan to changes in temperature extremes; the oven-hot pan shouldn’t be put into cold water, nor should it be taken from the freezer and put into a hot oven.
- To avoid scratches on your countertop or table, always place the pan on a trivet of some sort.

I bought this baker a few months ago, and am so happy with it. Breads just slide right out of it, and it makes the best crust ever. I am so grateful that I discovered this site and its online store.

Looking forward to trying this baker today. No instructions were included. I suggest the information here be placed in the package. I was going to dry the method described in Cooks Illustrated about placing the dough in a preheated dutch oven, having this baker substitute for the dutch oven, but now fear that the temperature contrast could lead to breakage. Do you agree? Love all your products.

I've got to say, I don't know how this product will work. I'm writing this review for two reasons. The first is to thank KAF for the exceptional customer support. I ordered this product a couple of weeks ago. It arrive with a broken lid. A second lid, also arrived in pieces. I'm waiting for try #3. I'm really looking forward to using this, and if I can get a crusty loaf, I'll try to get the cloche through shipping. Note that I don't think this is due to packing, etc. This is very delicate pottery.
Sorry to hear that the lids keep breaking on you! But I know we'll make this right for you. If you have any questions about baking in the baker once you receive it, please give us a call on the Baker's Hotline and we'll be happy to help! 1-800-827-6836. ~Mel

LOVE LOVE LOVE the bread coming out of this baker. OMG. It made the most decadent sourdough loaf I've ever baked--and its forcing me to trust myself on how much the dough has risen with the lid on! HA!! Make sure to read the instructions on the website prior to use so that its understood how much the insides should be oiled for optimal results. My first loaf ended up in two halfs--a top half and a bottom half--yes at almost 16" long. AMAZING!

I am totally sold on the concept of stone bakers, after years of using Pampered Chef products. The first batch of bread in this baker came out beautifully. So glad to have an alternative to the round bakers for variety.

I love this baker!! Christmas present from Husband. Every loaf in this pan turns out perfect. The length makes a loaf which lasts the week and the size is perfect for sandwiches. The lid keeps the shape perfect and there's no "overflow". I was glad to see that the new pan lid resolved the issue of the handle falling off. That was keeping me from adding it to my Christmas list. I have only baked sourdough loaves in it, but that's mostly what we eat. Laying a piece of parchment side to side and spritzing the ends w/ non-stick spray works great. I am sold on the start in a cold oven, which I was somewhat unsure about - just didn't sound right. Honestly, all my other bread pans are probably feeling unloved because I haven't used anything else since I got it.

I bought this item after reading the other reviews. Ease of use - very easy - the side handles make it easy to take the lid off. Bread results - I LOVE what this baker does, I was never able to get the proper crunchy crust with fluffy inside until getting this baker.

A great redesign with the integral handles...huge improvement ... thanks to King Arthur for replacing the broken-handled one for me! Makes a wonderful crust on my bread with no effort! I think the cloche must be just as good...

The Long Covered Baker is a good addition to bread baking. Easy to use and clean. Seems to take a little longer baking the loaf.

A well made American continent-sourced product (USA). Works as advertised and brings a deeper and crispier crust. Very happy -- except, this product would greatly benefit from some sort of larger lip with which one can grasp the extremely hot top when inspecting the interior... That is a minor quibble and would only serve to improve an excellent product.
