What we liked

  • + Glazed red exterior resists stains better while the stoneware still bakes like clay
  • + 5QT dome gives enough headroom for strong oven spring on round loaves
  • + Lighter than cast iron, so it is easier to handle when hot

Trade-offs

  • - Glazed version usually costs more than the plain unglazed Sassafras cloche
  • - Stoneware is breakable, so storage and handling need extra care
