> Baking at least you can open the oven to take a quick look, I find that baking falls into two categories: 1) Pie or roast - No closed cast-iron pot in use, so you don't need to open the oven, you can see in through the glass. 2) Baking bread in the closed cast-iron pot with the lid on, do not open the oven or raise the lid during this phase! In neither case do you "open the oven and take a quick look"
