Sur La Table has an 11.5 x 11.5 x 0.25 inch baking steel that probably would fit.
I don't think this would fit. The 11.5 would fit the width but I think the depth would have to be 10.25 maximum to fit the shape of the rack.

Made pizza last night from dough that had been in the fridge since Friday. Enough leftover to bake another little loaf in the CSO .
I hope the larger stone will arrive this week so I can bake longer loaves.
Does a nice job on the crust without having to spray or toss ice cubes into the bottom of the oven.
Slice this morning.

So many wonderful dinners on this page.
@Blue_Dolphins, pasta and garlic bread. @Norm Matthews, beautiful steaks, @Chefmd,'s golden bird, @Anna's perfectly cooked duck breasts. ( I love your choice of zucchini )
and @HungryChris's oysters. It is still early here on the west coast and I'm craving those oysters.
Friday night's dinner.

Amazon and UPS surprised me. When I awoke there was this:

My whole mood changed after the upset of not receiving delivery last night. And now, if you will excuse me, I am off to the kitchen for some fun.
I'm jealous. I don't think mine will be here before next Friday.

But on the plus side, the friend whom I aggressively enabled received her CSO. It is a Canadian model and she hopes it can speak Fahrenheit.
My new one is a Canadian model and it is Fahrenheit.

OOOH I just ordered a stone that is 10" X 7" for my CSO. And even better it was available on ebay from a Canadian company.

Just to be clear, do you transfer to the stone while the stone is in the CSO?
Yes and I preheated the oven with the stone in it just like I would if I was baking in the big oven.
It was easy to slide the round off the transfer board on to the stone.

@Shelby, I have the same one plus the 8" on order but I don't think that Amazon has even shipped it yet. Suppose to be here between Dec.5 and the 11th.
Can't wait to see how you use it.
1 hour ago, JoNorvelleWalker said:Beautiful, Ann, as always! I'm glad I asked about the weight because when you said 500 g batch of dough I assumed 500g total recipe weight, not flour weight.
How do you transfer the loaves to the stone?
JoNorvelle, I have birds eye/burl maple transfer board that we made. Loaves can be slid in off the long end or off the short end. So in this case it was the short end.

This remains a cut of beef that will disappoint more people than it pleases. Even more so now that it is so pricey.
Anna, thanks for your review. That is how I feel about Eye of Round. Every time I have cooked an Eye of Round I'm always disappointed. I want to like. But I don't. Same can be said for
flank steak. Doesn't matter how perfectly it is cooked, I just don't care for it.

Do I infer correctly that each boule was 250 g?
JoNorvelle, I didn't weigh when I divided the dough. Just eyeballed. One might have been slightly larger than the other. But the weight of the dough with 500G of flour and 360g of water, would make each loaf around 430g each.
1 hour ago, rotuts said:may I ask where you got the stone ?
would there be one a bit larger for the CSO ?
did you protect the top of the loaf in the CSO ?
Rotus, the stones are by Pizzacraft and come in a set of four 7 .5" stones. I bought two sets when they were on sale at Canadian Tire. If I remember correctly I paid $24.99 per set. Great for lining a grill too.
Not sure what other sizes they have, but I used just one in the CSO last night and it was big enough for the round.
No, I didn't do anything to protect the top of the loaf.
Sliced the CSO loaf this morning.

Baked my first bread in the CSO tonight. Started the dough after 2:30 this afternoon and the bread just came out of the oven at 9:00 PM.
Made a 500g batch at 72% hydration. The loaf upfront is the one baked in the CSO. The one in the background was baked in a Waring counter-top oven.
Both baked on stones. I have some 7" stones and one was perfect in the CSO for a round/boule.

Decided after 2:30 PM that I wanted to try baking bread in the CSO.
So I started a 500g batch of dough. I definitely should have started earlier in the day.
The bread came out of the oven at 9:00.
Enough dough for two rounds. The one in the background was baked on a stone in the Waring Countertop and
the one upfront was baked in the CSO. Both were baked on a stone. I have a 7" stone that is perfect for the small oven.
I can't remember the last time I baked bread from same day dough.

Not totally tender - but sliced thin works!
If you wanted it more rare would you do three minutes?

Kerry it wasn't me but I'm glad you gave it a try.
Looks good. Was it tender?


Breakfast! 2017 (Part 2)

I had cut up a whole chicken Monday, and used one of the breasts. Presalted the legs and the other breast.
I was planning on roasting them for dinner tonight but instead I cut the breast into two pieces and separated the leg and thigh and made fried chicken for breakfast.
Fried in a cast iron skillet, oil at 360°F. to Internal temperature of 165°. Drained on paper towels and put on a rack in a low oven to stay warm while the remaining pieces and the vegetables cooked.
Best reason to make fried chicken is for the cream gravy. Seasoned with lots of black pepper and rubbed sage.
Leg and thigh.
