Know before you buy
No, these baskets are strictly for the proofing stage. They are made of natural rattan and are not oven-safe, so you must transfer your dough to a baking stone or Dutch oven once it has finished rising.
Before using, generously dust the baskets with flour—rice flour works best for its non-stick properties. You can also use the included cotton liners for a smoother release, especially if you are working with high-hydration sourdough.
Avoid using soap or water, as moisture can cause mold in the natural rattan. Instead, use the included cleaning brush to remove excess flour after each use and let the baskets air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing.
The dough whisk is designed to mix flour and water efficiently without overworking the gluten. It is particularly helpful for the initial 'shaggy mass' stage of sourdough preparation, where a standard spoon or spatula might struggle.
Yes, the set includes five replacement blades. The scoring lame is essential for controlling the expansion of your loaf during baking, allowing you to create professional-looking patterns and prevent the bread from bursting in unintended places.
These baskets are sized for standard artisan loaves, typically holding between 500g and 800g of dough. The 9-inch round and 10-inch oval sizes are ideal for most home-sized sourdough recipes.
