If you're asking about how the cold Dutch oven method works compared to a preheated Dutch oven method, the answer is yes! We've tried both and compared them side by side. Check out the results of baking in a preheated pot in this blog post, which includes a comparison of a loaf baking on a sheet pan in a preheated oven. The results of baking in a cold Dutch oven and a preheated Dutch oven were quite similar when the same baking vessel was used, so you can expect the comparison to be similar between a hot oven (using just a sheet pan) and a cold Dutch oven. I hope that helps!
