Create superior, crackly crusted breads with this oblong ceramic baker. The unglazed interior has the same effect as a brick oven—drawing moisture from the dough. Also great for roasting vegetables, meats, and stews.

Highly conductive aluminum fins at the base of this quick boil kettle increase the heating surface area and promote better heat transfer to boil water faster than a traditional kettle can—at around seven minutes.
