Very disappointed with this product, is cumbersome, bowl is not stable when on oven rack, lid fits not on smooth side as expected but the rough edge (thought I got a “second”; while my bread baked ok (I’ve been baking bread for decades) the bowl and lid both became VERY STAINED on first use, tried everything to wash it and will not become cleaner. 
You can exactly make and proof the dough and expect to directly cook the bread in it if making artisan bread. Recipes will note bowl and lid must be (empty) preheated with the oven…so dough must go into a banner on basket or bowl to proof or will need to transfer out of bowl temporarily and clean, before can preheat it.
Idea is great but the design is off for my use. Need better stoneware material re staining…and can’t believe people said easy to clean…maybe did not have cooked it?
