metal rack for La Cloche round baker.

Hi 

I am looking for a round metal rack to sit inside La Cloche round baker , the idea behind this requirement is that I can place a water container on the inside of the bake of the baker so that it steams while the bread is baking.

 

please give me your inputs on this idea.

 

thank you

 

regards

sasi

I have a Oriental grocery store nearby that stocks tons of fresh food, fish, produce, canned goods, etc.  They also stock pots and pans, steaming baskets and many other cooking utensils.  I bought a 6" and 10" insert for steaming things.  They rest about an inch from the bottom.  If you do not have access to that kind of store, this link should help:
