Check the fit before you buy
The Amazon listing gives differing exterior figures. Confirm your oven clearance from Challenger’s dimensions and allow space around the handles.
See all measurements ↓When to choose it
Start with the loaf you bake most often. Challenger specifies an interior measuring 11.5 by 9 inches and 5 inches high. That gives you two horizontal dimensions to compare with a bâtard or boule before buying a banneton or sling.
The lid weighs about 11.3 pounds and the base about 8.7 pounds. If you usually load the base separately, consider whether you can handle the dome comfortably with mitts. Use the interior measurements to check loaf fit and measure your rack independently.

Questions about this product
Where should I measure a sling for this pan?
Compare its flat pad with the interior base. In a cold pan, check that the handles clear the rim and the lid can sit as intended.
How much does the lid weigh by itself?
Challenger lists approximately 11.3 pounds for the lid. The base is approximately 8.7 pounds.
Can I choose by the outside width of the handles?
Use outside dimensions to check rack clearance. Use the 11.5 by 9 inch interior footprint to assess the loaf.
