In fact, always start this or any other type / brand of cast iron pot in a cold oven and then bring up to required temperature. Never place a cold cast iron pot in a hot or very hot oven - there is risk of pot (any brand) shattering. You can put the unbaked dough in the cold pot - set the oven to desired temperature and bake for required time (cold bake method).

Do you have to "cook in" a cast iron skillet with vinegar?
