While there are a number of ways to perfect your baguette baking, Edie, it's also somewhat of a preferential thing. We've found success with both baking stones and baking pans, and even have a recipe for the latter: Baguette Pan Baguettes. That being said, of course, the baguette pan will definitely assist you in the process. Particularly, the perforations in the surface of the pan will let moisture escape, allowing your loaves to crisp and brown evenly. And that's always a bonus. So in the end, we recommend trying out the pan. It might be the secret you've been looking for all this time. Thanks, and happy baking!
