And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between cats and dogs. My cats sit and watch me scrub all that bbq goodness off my grates and then demand their own food. Latest battle is Sindbad deciding that he no longer likes pheasant and will only eat home minced raw chicken thighs. When I die I want to come back as a cat!

Got one of these a little while ago and it seems to do the trick.

FWIW, I use a cheap Lodge Combo Cooker for baking rustic sourdough bread; 850g battards are no problem. Baguettes are a different problem though. I'd like to use the Challenger but can't get 2-up in my oven as I can using the Combo Cooker...

Challenger pan has arrived. Am very happy with the results.

What he said. Beautiful!

@tekobo didn't really have to do much pushing - I was sucked into the vortex of buying frenzy when I tasted the result of the cook. Mrs RokDok was also in non-coerced agreement - so no need for subterfuge or trying to make out that when it arrived it was some kind of shower fitting or car part. My poor son - who lives in Boston has agreed to take delivery of one, ( he has one room in a shared appartment ), so I've now got a good excuse to pop over and see him. @tekobo and I have played gadget acquisition ping-pong for four years now and I am losing badly.

Really sorry about that @MacKenzie, but rest assured that @tekobo remains 100% squirrel-free. Not a morsel passed her lips.
