I stick my casserole on the hob on full whack for 10 minutes (The same when I'm doing pizza) before putting the dough in. So much quicker than heating it in the oven, and so much hotter. Also lessens the amount of time that it has to cool faffing around with dough.
I have the oven turned to max - which seems to be about 260 / 270ish, and takes 20 - 30 minutes.

How long are you pre heating your casseroles / pizza stones? I preheated the oven to 250 for over an hour with the heavy pot in the oven but the loaf took over an hour to cook and didn’t turn out well and on the pizza stone the bottom was raw while the top burned. I’ll be getting a zappy thermometer tomorrow what temp do I need?
