Review: Lightweight, Durable, and Perfect for Artisan Baking at Home - The Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell has been a game-changer for my steam oven baking. It is impressively lightweight, making it easy to insert and remove even when hot, yet it feels very durable and solid. The flat, smooth surface ensures even heat distribution, which gives consistent browning and a nice crisp crust on bread, pizza, and pastries. I also appreciate that the edges are slightly raised, helping to keep dough or batter in place without spilling. Cleanup is simple since nothing sticks, and the non-reactive surface maintains its quality over time. The shell is slightly larger than I expected, so storage requires a bit of planning, but the quality, performance, and versatility make it an excellent tool for any serious home baker.
Review: ease of use - Awesome. Made two Batard loaf's this weekend and didn't have to worry about adding any water to a preheated cast iron skillet. Slide the bread onto the preheated baking steel and covered with the baking shell. Easy to remove after the first 20-25min, nice and light. Bread turned out beautiful

## Features

- BAKERY-QUALITY BREAD AT HOME – Creates the ideal baking environment for professional-quality bread. The Baking Shell traps steam and evenly distributes heat for a superior dough rise, crispy crust, and airy crumb. Helps your loaves look professional with a crispy, golden crust and an airy interior.
- NO PREHEATING REQUIRED – Unlike preheating a Dutch oven for 30-45 minutes, this shell requires no preheating. No need to risk touching scorching hot pots and lids. Just place your dough on a flat baking surface and cover with the shell. It also cools fast and won’t crack unlike ceramic or enameled cast iron.
- LIGHTWEIGHT & EASY TO CLEAN – This ultralight shell weighs just 1 lb, unlike your typical 15 lb Dutch oven. Cleanup is simple with a quick wipe. Cast iron pots need to be scrubbed and reseasoned, which can take 20-30 minutes after baking. This baking shell makes bread baking faster and easier.
- 3 EASY STEPS – (1) Preheat your oven with a steel or stone. (2) Place your risen dough on the hot surface. (3) Cover with the shell. That’s it. After 20 minutes, remove the shell and finish baking uncovered to brown the crust. It’s the simplest way to bake artisan bread at home.
- HOME-OVEN FRIENDLY – Designed for real home kitchens. Works on stones, steels, or baking sheets. Use two Batards side by side in wide ovens. Food-safe aluminum withstands up to 550°F, contains no chemical coatings like PTFE or PFOA, and is FDA Tested. Dimensions: 12.5 x 8 x 5.5 in. Weight: 1lb 1oz.
- DOUBLES AS A BREAD COVER – This Baking Shell also functions as a stylish bread dome to keep your loaves fresh when stored on a countertop, butcher block, or cutting board.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for baking sourdough w/o the dutch oven weight
*by J***S on January 10, 2026*

I have two of these batard shaped shells, and one boule. I use these frequently on a large stone in the oven, that fits two shells side by side (also purchased on Amazon), and they are lightweight, and do not require preheating. They seal in the steam so that the loaves have the appropriate amount for proper baking, and I highly recommend them.
