STEAM 78
Venting Steam After 15 minutes of baking at 500°F (260°C), gently lift the lid of your
Dutch oven
to vent
steam and heat , just for a moment. The reason we want to vent this
steam
heat and
from our baking chambers has to do
with the design of home ovens. See, most home ovens are designed with baking elements on the bottom of the oven. This is why we created our baking chambers so close to the oven floor; our proximity to the heating element helped us to maximize oven-spring.
