if you put it in the oven ,how does condensation principle work?

Probably not too well! The terracotta heats up, steam forms internally, escapes through the two pieces, but there shouldn't be a great deal of condensation to moist cook the food. The hot, high humidity level would be present, but I would guess it would dry out pretty quickly. It is a stove top device. Good luck!

I never used it in the oven......only stovetop twice and the food was good.....

I did have condensation, I took it off dried it out with air compressor. Then I resealed it.

I believe all covers will have some condensation. Would suggest to place the food on a plate.

Usually the dough proofs in/on the couch (using folds in the couch to separate and support the batards). I never proof in the oven but I see no reason why not. My dough doesn't stick to the couch (75% hydration). Hope that helps.

I just heat it on the Swissmar appliance. I guess you could just put it in the oven for a few minutes but I don't know why you'd need to.

I have our CSO-300 underneath the wood paneling of our cabinetry (although there is open space around it). The top of the oven does get warm to the touch but I have had no damage from either the high heat or the steam option to date. Our countertops are concrete and that is what it is sitting on. I have noticed some water drops on the countertop from the steam option. I just make sure every time I use that option to check underneath the drip tray and wipe if need be.

If you are cooking something with high moisture content, it will tend to steam. If you open the door and wipe it off, you will lose some heat, so it is better to just leave it to cook. I wipe it off when the cooking is done, if there is any left.

Hi David,I have not experienced the problem you are describing. There are several possibilities that come to mind. The first is the cover is being stored in a relatively high humidity area. The second is when you take it out of storage it may be reacting to the difference in temperature and forming condensation. You can use a silica gel packet to store it which will help absorb excess moisture in the immediate area, and you may want to allow several minutes for the cover to acclimate to the current conditions before using. One last idea...if you are outdoors shooting you may be getting condensation from your breath striking the plastic. Hi David,I have not experienced the problem you are describing.

Did you "cure" the item and lid as directed on the instructional sheet? Curing the item involves coating it with an oil, then baking the oil coated item inside your kitchen oven.

This does not go in the oven. It is just a vehicle for delivering the pizza to the pizza stone or in our case a pizza steel. We are using it to put pizza into a 500 degree oven and it has no problem. It should be able to go to 800 which is the approximate temp that many pizza ovens achieve. This seems to be a commercial grade peel. It looks no different than the ones I see in pizza parlors.

Excellent question and one I thought about before purchase and was prepared to place some ceramic tiles to absorb excess heat. But, it is not needed. The insulation is good and I can actually set my hand upon the top when it has been baking at 350 for 20 minutes. It continues to gain some heat, but nowheres near what the consumer countertop ovens I had before radiated. I think that is because the consumer models have NO insulation. I absolutely love the oven and it bakes better than my expensive double convection stainless Thermador. Hope that helps in your decision process. I don't see how you can go wrong if you get one of the ovens as pictured in the photo as I did. Good things have a way of changing locations of manufacturing if you know what I mean. ;)

Put in conventional oven until they turn blue and let them cool off before you place them in the container again. If you leave them out to long, the blue will fade and you have to do it overagain. That happen to me once and I had to redo it the next day.

Well, you don't leave the cloth, or the peel in the oven. You use it to transport the pizza on to a stone or tray. You don't touch any thing hot with the cloth; just the edge of the pizza touches down and then the cloth slides the rest onto the peel.

I do. As far as I know, the only chemical you're liberating at a warming oven temperature is water vapor.

if the jar is shut tight, there will be condensation. that is a natural occurrence.

It works by focussing infrared energy into the oven cavity and is affected by the environmental temperature. If the sunny area in your home feels warm then it should work, but I would be surprised if you got more than 225 deg F

You close and latch the glass door so the inside of the oven is airtight...no bugs can get in while you're cooking.
