Cast iron or clay baker? - Baking Tools - Breadtopia Forum

I’ve been making do with a variety of kitchen vessels to bake my breads and am ready to buy a dedicated boule baker. I already have an oval clay baker and love the breads it produces. I have a large enameled cast iron Dutch oven, but rarely use it because it’s too big for the small loaves I bake and it weighs a ton so I don’t have a lot of experience with cast iron to compare with clay. I’d love to hear opinions from those of you who have used both. Thanks!
