I have a book which gives instructions for baking small brown loaves in
clay
flowerpots. The novelty appeals to me but what is the effect of baking
bread
in cold heavy clay pots? Isn't metal better for conductivity - maximum
heat
and minimum cooking time was what I thought was required.
I would try it but the unglazed pots apparently need to be bought new,
washed, dried then tempered with oil on the inside several times so it
isn't
quick and easy. I would be slightly concerned about chemicals or metals
from
non food grade vessels entering the bread too.
Any experience? Any thoughts?
