Great idea, super well presented—Thank you!
can you reuse the lava rocks?
Ahem, did you mean finnish sauna?
Is this technique OK in an electric oven?
Great tip! I'd say use a dedicated pan that you won't use for cakes/breads again. Or, you can use a big iron skillet.
hey atk…great idea! but it got me wondering…to avoid scratching the pan i put the lava rocks into, couldn't i just line it with heavy-duty foil? just a thought…
Nice idea and it absolutely works but guys, there is no such thing as Swedish sauna.
