No. Unlike heavy cast iron combo cookers, this lightweight aluminum shell does not need to be preheated, as heat passes through it very quickly.
It is designed to be used on top of a baking stone or baking steel to ensure excellent bottom heat transfer.
For a perfect, golden crust, lift the shell off about halfway through the baking process to allow the crust to color and crisp up.
It can accommodate up to 1,200g (approx. 2.6 lbs) of dough, making it suitable for both boule (round) and batard (oval) shaped loaves.
