In our test, the bread baking tin from Flavemotion made a very good impression.
The manufacturer promises that only high-quality materials have been used and that the pizza peel has a high-quality finish. The radiant heat ribs in the lid and the special length are designed to make baking bread easier for the customer. Flavemotion also offers customers the option of using the bread baking tin in a variety of ways. The bread can be baked in a normal oven or on a barbecue or campfire.
The product is not dishwasher-safe, which is normal for cast iron in particular. However, the product has already been baked and customers can start cooking or baking straight away.
Weighing 4.6 kilograms, the product has an extremely high-quality appearance and is free from defects. The scope of delivery also includes silicone oven gloves, as the customer is very important to the manufacturer.

The first impression
The packaging and labelling
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Unnecessary packaging waste was avoided, items were packed compactly | 95 points |
| Product labelling | Choking hazard labelling (plastic bag) available – LFGB certificate unfortunately not available | 83 points |
| Miscellaneous | High-quality packaging, also suitable as a gift | 100 points |
| Total | 95 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The bread baking tin from FLAVEMOTION arrived in the typical Amazon box. On arrival, the box was undamaged and could be opened without any tools.
Inside the box was the bread baking tin wrapped in plastic, which contained the oven gloves supplied. In addition, a note was included which provided the customer with a customer hotline and other contact options. The plastic bag helps to prevent scratches during transport, but would probably not have been necessary. The product was fully protected in this case and the bread baking tin has no scratches or dirt.
The packaging is largely recyclable, but unfortunately the plastic bag is not.
Overall, the packaging of the bread baking tin makes a very good first impression.
After unpacking
Package contents and instructions
ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents & scope | Cast iron bread baking tin, silicone oven gloves and information leaflet included | 100 points |
| Instructions for use | Printed on the packaging – in English and German with care instructions – a separate label would be nice, as the information can easily be overlooked | 89 points |
| Contact information | Is stated on the packaging and in the enclosed instruction leaflet including the German customer hotline | 100 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking the box, there were several things on the kitchen table. In addition to the cast iron casserole dish, a cast iron lid and two silicone oven gloves were also included.
Instructions on how to use and care for the product can be found on the product packaging, but it would be nice to have additional instructions for use, as it is easy to overlook the print on the box.
The contact information for the manufacturer was on a note enclosed with the roaster. If customers have any queries about the product, they can contact customer service either by post, email or telephone.
Overall, the product packaging is extremely well thought out.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Very good appearance – high-quality materials | 100 points |
| Processing | Very good workmanship, all edges rounded | 95 points |
| Stability | Very stable product – with a weight of over 4.6 kilos very stable | 100 points |

| Total | 91 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The bread baking tin supplied consists of a cast-iron baking tin and a corrugated lid, which is designed to make the crust of the bread crispy when baking.
At first glance, the workmanship of the product looks very high quality and the manufacturer has taken care to ensure that there are no sharp edges so that the work surface is not damaged. The total weight of 4.6 kilograms is also proof that this is a high-quality product .
Unfortunately, all product parts are not dishwasher-safe and the manufacturer points out that the casserole dish should be cleaned without detergent, otherwise the patina will be damaged .
The silicone gloves allow the customer to remove the baking dish from the oven after use without burning themselves. Another advantage of silicone gloves is that they can simply be cleaned with water if they get dirty.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Great stability, no deformation due to heavy weight | 100 points |
| Thermal behaviour | Very good temperature maintenance | 97 points |
| Baking behaviour | Good baking behaviour – oil the mould beforehand to loosen the bread better | 97 points |
| Manoeuvrability | handy size, fits in every kitchen cupboard – weight limits handiness a little – gloves are small, but are perfectly adequate | 92 points |
| Cleaning | Easy to clean – but do not clean with washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher! (usual with cast iron) | 92 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
We really enjoyed working with the bread baking tin from FLAVEMOTION during testing. The baking tin is easy to fill and empty. The baking tin also impresses with its simple and modern design and is a real eye-catcher.
To prevent the dough from sticking, we recommend spreading a little oil on the sides or using baking paper.
Cleaning must be carried out without detergent, which is also specifically indicated on the packaging. For longer storage, the manufacturer advises that the mould should be lightly oiled to prevent rust stains. We also noticed during testing that the cast-iron baking tin needs to be dried immediately after rinsing , otherwise unsightly rust spots will appear (which is normal for cast iron).
The cast-iron baking tin performed very well in our baking test. Even for a bread baking novice like me, the bread turned out crispy and fluffy at the same time. We recommend brushing the tin with plenty of oil before baking, as this makes it easier to remove the bread from the tin.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Reasonable price for a high-quality bread baking tin | 88 points |
| Rating cut | 4.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 80 points |
| Total | 84 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.6 stars. They often criticise the fact that the manufacturer does not include a dough recipe and that the product shows unsightly spots after a few baking attempts. Many customers like the fact that the bread baking tin is very robust and the bread baked in it is particularly crispy. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that if the tin is not dried directly, it develops rust spots. However, these unsightly spots can be easily removed with a little scrubbing and the use of grease.
The practical test confirms that baking is child’s play and even baking beginners can conjure up good results. Although the manufacturer did not provide a dough recipe directly in the packaging, a dough recipe was included on the Amazon page.
Prices of up to €95.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €37.90. With a price of €49.90, the Flavemotion bread baking tin is currently in the lower price segment. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of services offered.
