non-cast iron dutch oven

I'm in my summer digs, much more compact than the AZ "ranchette" where I winter.   I don't have a cast iron dutch oven here and don't want to find room for one.  I do have a 6-quart Dansk Kobenstyle enameled steel dutch oven which has been around for years.  (See pic...mine's deep blue.)  http://bit.ly/1tfnVsh

I've turned out two loaves which have done as well as any baked in AZ using the cast iron Lodge combo.  In fact, I might claim that it works better.  Certainly the lid fits more closely and probably retains moisture a bit better.  And I didn't have the over-browning of the bottom of the loaf that had been an occasional issue.
