I do like the old stuff i picked up at yard sales and thrifts.
My lodge dutch oven is about 20yrs old now. Seems better than the new ones.
But that one posted in the link looks great.
I bought a beast big rectangle one that will hold two chickens and two loaves of bread
a few yrs ago for the beach house. Stupidly did not open the box before traveling...
The lid does not sit clean/flat. Cheap China made. They discontinued it.
I was gifted a new tortilla press recently, heavy cast iron. The reviews on Amazon are
crapy. 50/50 chance the handle will break on the first use. So far so good so maybe i
got a decent one.
Yes, super for bread. We use the Forkish pinch/fold recipe. Jim's no-knead is super easy
for a quick boule. The Forkish method is just a bit sturdier. We make a Boule, then the
rest of the dough sits in the fridge for up to 4-5 days and can be used to make burger
rolls, etc. We made a sandwich loaf last weekend using the clay baker, long rectangle my
MIL gave us.
The no-knead is less steps but best baked right away. And enjoyed warm/fresh.
