Our slim enamel-coated Dutch oven is designed specifically for sourdough bakers who want to get more out of every bake. Its narrow shape allows you to fit two side by side in a standard home oven, making it easy to double your output without compromising quality. Whether you're baking for the family or prepping for a market, this Dutch oven helps you bake more efficiently.
The tall, compact design encourages a strong upward rise, helping you achieve that classic sourdough shape with a light, open crumb and a beautiful ear. The tight-fitting lid traps steam where it matters most, giving your loaves a crisp, blistered crust and moist interior every time.
Made with a smooth enamel coating, there’s no need for seasoning and no risk of rust. It’s easy to clean, oven-safe, and built to last. Wide handles provide a secure grip, so moving your dough in and out of the oven feels safe and controlled - even when it's piping hot.
This is the go-to Dutch oven for bakers who want professional results in a home kitchen, without bulky cookware getting in the way.

Before First Use:
-
Wash your Dutch oven with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
-
Dry completely before use.
Cooking Tips:
-
Use low to medium heat for best results; enamel retains heat well, so high heat isn’t necessary.
-
Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the enamel; wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils are ideal.
-
Allow the Dutch oven to heat gradually; sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock.
Cleaning:
-
Let your Dutch oven cool completely before washing.
-
Hand wash with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool as they can damage the enamel coating.
-
For stubborn residues, soak in warm water before gently scrubbing.
Storage:
-
Ensure the Dutch oven is completely dry before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
-
Store with the lid slightly ajar or place a paper towel between lid and base to allow airflow.
Additional Tips:
-
Enamel may chip if dropped or banged against hard surfaces, so handle with care.
-
Do not use in the microwave.
-
Oven safe up to 260°C

I've been wanting to start making my own sourdough for years and even though I make my own loaves of sandwich bread twice weekly, sourdough always seemed so complex and overwhelming, I purchased a starter kit from YKS and the instructions, videos and tutorials have been amazing. I absolutely recommend YKS products for anyone whose ever thought sourdough was ridiculously complex. You won't regret it!
Really quick delivery and problem solving. Great products.Definitely buy from you knead sourdough

I absolutely love my new slim enamel coated Dutch oven. I can honestly say that it is a game changer! I have been making sourdough for about 7 years now. Since I started using my new Dutch oven our bread is next level. I am stoked that we can purchase these great products in New Zealand now. If you are sitting on the fence about buying one of these, definitely make the leap…it’s worth it! 🥰
Seven years of sourdough and now next-level loaves, we love hearing this, Liz! We’re thrilled the Slim Dutch Oven has been such a game changer. Enjoy every bake! 🥰
