  • Question
    Can I put, say, two inches of water in the big pot with the broken tiles to create steam and to maybe prevent burning the bread?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You could also sprinkle a layer of salt on the pot base and then place your baking dish.

  • Question
    Is it possible to use a deep enameled pot for baking bread (on a stove top) and also will use the pot for cooking dishes, steam a bun or siomai, boil the milk and others?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. The only problem is selecting the correct size, but that is based on your cooking and baking needs.

  • Question
    Can I add some sand to the big pot before placing the flat stones?
    Community Answer
    No, I wouldn't. Sand can destroy the glaze or protective covering of the interior of the pot. Also, it is far more awkward to manage when it is hot. Also, you never know exactly what is in the sand, including volatile chemicals that can poison your food.

  • Question
    I have try baking with local oven on a low heat but my bread does not come out good, I don't know what the problem is?
    Community Answer
    Do you know that maximum temperature you were able to generate in your local oven? If it isn't at least 250°F/121°C, you won't be able to make a good loaf of bread. I personally prefer 350°F/176°C.

  • Question
    I'm thinking that the outer metal rim of Mason jar lids would be right for the thermal ballast - any downside to using those?
    Community Answer
    Try it and see if it does work. I cannot foresee any problems trying. Just be careful when handling hot things.

  • Question
    A cup of flour is 250g in my country. I see you mentioned 128g. How do I get the exact measurements?
    Idabelle
    Community Answer
    Since grams are a unit of weight, you can use a scale to give a more accurate measure instead. If you don't have a scale, 128 grams is roughly 1/2 cup.
