To begin, lift the lid and base separately. Handling each piece on its own gives you greater control.

Every detail of the Challenger Bread Pan’s patented design is ideally suited to support your baking process:

• Wide side handles offer a secure, balanced grip even with the thickest of oven mitts
• Lid handles allow you to lift the lid with ease.
• A shallow base allows for easy dough loading and unloading.
• And, the domed lid creates an ideal steam environment, a critical component for baking  the perfect loaf.

Cast iron retains heat exceptionally well, even after it’s no longer in the oven. That’s why we recommend always wearing heavy-duty oven gloves or mitts and using both hands when handling the pan. Lift and move the lid and base one at a time, as this technique enhances grip and control of the pan.

Taking a few extra seconds for mindful, deliberate handling ensures you’ll enjoy every baking moment, with confidence and peace of mind.
