Its design helps to create a perfect steam-filled environment that bread dreams are made of.
The classic white or jewel green enamel finish of the ALDI dome looks sleek and timeless anyway.
Its oven-safe up to 482F and can be used on any stovetop, including induction stoves.

The base alone could be a beautiful stove- or oven-to-table piece of serving ware for a seasonalcrisporcobbler.
I also plan to use it forroasting chicken thighs, bakingdeep-dish pizza, and smaller braises.
I’ve even wondered if it could work as a tagine of sorts.
That’s what I’ve got!
This could open up a whole new world of cooking possibilities for me.
All that is to say, don’t let the name of this piece of cookware deter you!
Whether it remains a one-trick pony is totally up to you.
They come and go quicklyand sometimes return.
