Yes, I love their pans, too. Such a great texture from loaf pans. I
recently bought the long, thin La Cloche from King Arthur, and baked a loaf
of struan in that. It rose right to the top of the lid, and because of the
clay the entire crust was so crunchy and a very nice shade of brown. It
worked well, too. The bread was longer and narrower than your typical loaf
pan; great pan. Both of those pans take significantly longer to bake,
though, and now that our temperatures are hovering in the 100 degree area,
the oven is closed for a few days. ;-)
