I stumbled on this thread on breadsky and was trying to be helpful with my experience baking with this pan at least once a week. The Challenger bread pan is great for preventing burns from dropping loaves in, but weigs 22 lbs. - heavier than most dutch ovens.

I have the challenger but rarely use it because it’s so heavy. The placement of the handles is great - if I had a wall oven I expect I would use it more but I have a range oven so I have to bend and the superheated challenger scares me. It’s a great pan and I use it when needed but not my go-to.
