Here are Oat Porridge baby boules baked side by side under cheapo stainless Walmart mixing bowl vs. heavy duty 3-ply stainless Kirkland cookware. There is no discernable difference in oven spring or browning.

Thanks for the report, Adriana!
HERE is a post with some information and data that may interest you.

The nerd in me loves data!
I do have one more side by side trial to do. It is stainless vs earthenware. I noticed last week when I uncovered my improvised earthenware cloche that when I removed the cover at 15-20 minutes the exterior of the boule had no browning whatsoever, despite being preheated to 500°F. The two boules baked in stainless steel exhibited lots of browning after 20 minutes under cover.

That is interesting, “ The two boules baked in stainless steel exhibited lots of browing after 20 minutes under cover.”
I would have expected no real browning in either circumstances.
I love experimentation, keep sharing...
