Safe, Pure & Non-Toxic

Simple Materials, No Synthetic Non-Stick Coatings

Cookware should be made from materials you understand and trust.

Our cookware is made from cast iron, with either an enamel finish or a traditional oil-seasoned cooking surface. We don't use synthetic non-stick coatings.

Enamelled Cast Iron

Glass-based enamel is fused to the cast iron to create a smooth, non-reactive cooking surface. It requires no seasoning and can be used with acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, wine and citrus.

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron

Pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil and ready to cook with from the start. With regular use and proper care, the seasoning will continue to develop over time.

What You’re Cooking With

✓ Cast iron construction
✓ Enamel or vegetable oil-seasoned cooking surfaces
✓ No synthetic non-stick coatings

Use & Care

Oven Safe up to 260°C (500°F)
Suitable for sourdough baking, roasting and other oven cooking up to 260°C (500°F).

Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Avoid moving a refrigerator-cold Bread Oven directly into a hot oven or adding cold water to hot cast iron. Allow it to cool before washing.

Matte Black Enamel Surface
The black cooking surface is enamel, not bare cast iron, and does not require seasoning. When scoring dough on the base, take care not to drag the blade across the enamel surface.

Use Oven Mitts When Hot
The base, lid and handles become very hot during baking. Always use dry oven mitts when removing the lid or moving the Bread Oven.

Hand Wash Recommended
Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or non-abrasive brush. For stuck-on food, soak briefly in warm water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Ultimate spring!

I have been on my sourdough journey for 6 months, this oven is fabulous. My bread came out so good, beautiful spring, cooked evenly, not to mention the ease of getting the dough and bread in and out of the oven. It’s so pretty to look at too! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for reliable, premium cookware, I highly recommend this piece. The Dutch oven is exquisitely crafted, built to last, and arrived in perfect condition. It looks absolutely stunning in the kitchen! I also have to commend their brilliant customer service team for their prompt and polite assistance.

I love mine!

I bought two bread ovens and bake two loaves at a time. It took awhile to master the sourdough process (through no fault of my ovens!) and I’ve recommend them to other bakers. They’re the best.

Thank you for the great review! Those sourdough loaves in your photos look fantastic.

Thanks again for your support and for recommending us to other bakers.

I love my two Cactus bread ovens

I love my two Cactus bread ovens, and now that I finally broke the sourdough code, my loaves turn out perfect every time. And this company is wonderful, too. Buy with confidence! By the way, I use both ovens in a standard range oven and both loaves are basically identical.

I just made my first sourdough ever in this pan

I just made my first sourdough ever in this pan. I am 70 and have arthritis in my hands/wrists so I was concerned about weight. I managed this pan easily and my bread came out perfect. I highly recommend this pan if you’re serious about making sourdough. I plan to get a rectangular pan as well. Shipping was also a good experience.

The Dutch oven itself is lovely. It’s very pretty and great quality. It arrived pretty fast which is good, as sometimes when you order online, it can take weeks.
It did have a very small chip on the bottom of the lid. As soon as they found out, they were very fast to rectify that.
Highly recommend.

Please beware

Omg. These things are horrible, got these for my wife for Christmas. Both after several bakes are chipping whatever chemical nonsense you sprayed to coat these pans. They are not cast iron. What a HUGE, UNSAFE, disappointment

Robert Kuthrell review photo

Hi Robert, I am very sorry for the disappointment! Please rest assured: our finish is a high-heat matte enamel, not a chemical non-stick spray.

We take safety incredibly seriously. Since this experience wasn't what you expected, I have issued a refund to your original payment method. We hope you find a set that works better for your baking needs!

Beautiful Pan

I am loving my new oven cast iron for bread. It is so beautiful. The design is attractive with cactus on the lid. The purple/magenta color is so pretty. The pan is heavy and seems very durable and made well. It is the perfect size for a regular sourdough bread loaf. The lid handle is a nice size making it easy to remove the lid. The texture on the bottom of the pan helps it to bake well and not stick to the pan. The pan was very easy to wash, like other cast iron pans. I can't wait to see what else I can bake in this.

Love it but…

Last week I used this to make sourdough. I preheated it at 500 degrees and baked my loaf without a problem. Today I baked a yeast loaf heating it to 450 degrees and now the coating is coming off. I have not seen any other complaints about this. Otherwise it is an excellent baker! I am looking to hopefully get it replaced.

Frequently asked questions

  • How Much Dough Should I Use?

    Around 900 g of total dough is a practical starting point for the Bread Oven. In general, about 800 g to 1 kg works well, depending on your recipe and how much the dough expands.

    This is a working range rather than a minimum or maximum capacity.

  • What Size Banneton Works Best?

    A round banneton around 22 cm is a practical starting size for a loaf of about 900 g of dough.

    A banneton isn't essential, but it helps support the round shape during the final proof.

  • How Is This Different from a Regular Dutch Oven?

    A traditional Dutch oven has high sides, while this Bread Oven uses a low-profile base and domed lid.

    The lower base gives you easier access to the dough for loading, scoring and removing the loaf. The fitted lid still creates a covered baking space that helps retain steam during the early bake.

    You get the covered-baking benefits of a Dutch oven in a shape designed specifically for bread.

  • Do I Need to Preheat the Bread Oven?

    No. For our first-bake method, preheat your oven and keep the Bread Oven at room temperature.

    This makes it easier to load and score the dough without handling very hot cast iron.

  • Will My Bread Stick? Do I Need Baking Paper?

    Baking paper is optional, but it can make transferring and removing the loaf easier, especially when you're getting used to the Bread Oven.

    The matte black enamel is not a synthetic non-stick coating, so some doughs may need a little flour or other preparation when baking directly on the surface.

  • How Do I Stop the Bottom from Getting Too Dark?

    Cast iron retains a lot of heat, and some ovens deliver more heat from below than others.

    First, try moving the Bread Oven one rack higher. You can also place an empty baking tray on the rack below to shield some of the direct heat from the lower element.

    If the bottom is still browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature slightly on your next bake and adjust the baking time as needed.

  • Is the Black Interior Enamel? Do I Need to Season It?

    Yes. The matte black cooking surface is enamel, not bare cast iron.

    It does not require seasoning. Wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or brush, then dry it after cleaning.

  • How Heavy Is the Bread Oven?

    The Bread Oven weighs approximately 5.3 kg, including the base and lid.

    The low-profile base and wide handles make it easier to grip with two hands. Always use dry oven mitts when handling the Bread Oven while hot.

  • Can I Use My Usual Sourdough or No-Knead Recipe?

    Yes. You can continue using your usual round sourdough or no-knead recipe, provided the dough size suits the Bread Oven.

    Around 900 g of total dough is a practical starting point. You may need to adjust the baking time or temperature slightly to suit your dough and oven.
