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 550Β°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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DB6KF1ZP | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,244 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #33 in Baking Dishes | | Brand Name | Brod & Taylor | | Capacity | 1 load | | Color | Aluminum | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (203) | | Included Components | Shell | | Item Diameter | 12.5 inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 13.5"D x 8"W x 5.5"H | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Brod & Taylor | | Manufacturer Part Number | SC-100/400 | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | SC-100/400 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | Batard | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Specific Uses For Product | Bread | | UPC | 856805005524 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 550 Β°F | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brod & Taylor - **Color:** Aluminum - **Material:** Aluminum - **Shape:** Rectangular - **Special Feature:** Lightweight ## Images ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fo9Cda1SL.jpg) ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51A6QJOEmOL.jpg) ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81osqDnKNgL.jpg) ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81z+8Q5oTOL.jpg) ![Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ozxiSxZyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brod & Taylor Ultralight Baking Shell for Sourdough Bread (Batard) – No Preheating Needed for Crispy Crust and Even Baking - Brod & Taylor Bread Steel Max for Baking Bread & Cooking Pizza (14" x 14" x 0.15") - Brod & Taylor Bread Peel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/656208946-brod-and-taylor-ultralight-baking-shell-for-sourdough-bread-batard](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/656208946-brod-and-taylor-ultralight-baking-shell-for-sourdough-bread-batard) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
