### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bread ever.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 3, 2026*

Best of the best. My loaves came out absolutely amazing. Was my first time making sour dough bread. I got a starter from a friend and followed all the instructions for a recipe I found online and it couldn’t have turned out better. I wouldn’t consider it to be versatile, all you use this for is bread. It is rather expensive; however, if you want the absolute best for bread it’s a must. It does like to rust, which is somewhat common for cast iron so keep it in a low humidity environment and keep it oiled. It is very heavy and feels like it will last a lifetime.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really does bake better sourdough bread!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 27, 2024*

As a 53-year veteran of cooking exclusively with cast iron (and having baked bread for that long), I was shocked at the price of the Challenger Bread Pan. My Lodge Combo or the even better Lodge 7 qt dutch oven both turn out nice sourdough boules (though they can't fit baquettes or bigger batards). But I was intrigued and bit the bullet. I was relieved and delighted to see my first sourdough bread come out of the Challenger with that crust I was never able to get in my other cast iron dutch ovens--chewy instead of crusty, with those tiny blisters. The bottom crust was perfect also, and I was very happy with the oven spring of the bread. I think the reason for its unique success is that the thick gauge top and bottom fit together so snugly it creates its own mini steam oven. I could not duplicate the results with my other dutch ovens or loaf pans using extra methods for steam, which is harmful to ovens. It's a heavy pan, but the design makes it much less likely to get burned than using dutch ovens for baking sourdough bread, even if they are not inverted. And as a great-grandma it's not too heavy for me to maneuver in and out of in my small wall oven (love those well-placed handles!) and hang it up on my wall afterward--top row, 2nd from right. (I ran out of room to hang the bottom, so it's stowed in the woodstove oven.) This wonderful sourdough bread pan was thoughtfully designed for the purpose, and I look forward to using it several times a week. All my pans are heirlooms, but I think the Challenger will be a special heirloom among them. . .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy duty - great design
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 27, 2026*

Great product - it doesn’t hide any inadequacies in bread baking skills but if you know what you’re doing, you’re gonna put out a superior loaf .
