Clay Cloche Baker

Clay Cloche Baker

It was recommended that I consider getting a clay cloche style bread baker, and I'm looking at this one. When working with the Dutch oven I was told to remove the lid after the first twenty minutes, and this has been excellent advice. So my question with the clay cloche is should I do the same or leave it on for the entire baking time? I am also assuming that it will be a shorter baking time than the big round loaf due to the oblong shape. Suggestions on that? When I bake the round loaves the total time has been 50 minutes. Thanks.

Anyone have experience with using these clay cloches? I never knew about these before and always thought cast iron dutch ovens or a baking steel + bowl were the only setups available.
