My husband who was Scottish would say" 'Aye, that's too dear' and would have given the Dutch Oven an obscene gesture.....but I digress....
I remembered reading something on a website (I don't remember which or I would have shared the link with you) that you can bake your 'no knead' bread in the inside part of a crock pot so I trolled some of my favorite Thrift Shops and found one. This one is a larger size, 10 inches. It was priced $3.99. It did not come with a lid but I found the one pictured here for 99 cents. It works like a charm. My bread turned out fantastic! I have since baked all sorts of goodies in this 'Poor Man's' Dutch Oven. I also bought a smaller crock, 8 inches for $2.99 (not pictured because my son stuck it on the top of the kitchen cupboard where I can't reach). I already had a couple glass lids that fit. Life is good!!!
Great idea. I hope the "free box"glass lid with a wooden handle is oven proof or at least will stand heat on top of the stove. I have several cast iron skillets that could use a lid. I have seen and heard several recipes for no knead bread, but I am not sure which one to use.

Hi Linda. I lucked out at the Thrift Store and found that pyrex oven safe lid. So far I've used it about 10-12 times in the oven. I've inherited a couple of those pyrex sauce pots w/ lids from my Mom and use those with my smaller cast iron fry pans. Also one of those lids fit my 8 inch crock insert.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in my blog I have video instructions for no-knead bread.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my blog. I love getting ideas & learning from others
