What customers say
Home bakers overwhelmingly value this 9-inch proofing basket for achieving professional results, especially with sourdough. Users consistently praise its cane construction for effectively wicking moisture, which yields superior crust development and excellent oven spring. The basket supports medium to large loaves beautifully, maintaining dough shape even with high hydration. Manufacturing quality is noted as robust, with smooth rattan construction. While a few bakers mention a slight learning curve with flouring, the overall consensus is that this tool significantly elevates the bread making experience. Its reliable performance and durability make it a highly recommended staple for serious home artisans seeking consistent, aesthetically pleasing loaves.
Know before you buy
While it is specifically designed for the long fermentation process of sourdough, you can use it for any yeast-based artisan bread that requires a final proofing stage to maintain its shape.
The liner is optional. Using it provides a smooth finish and prevents dough from sticking, while using the basket without the liner allows the natural rattan to imprint a classic coiled pattern onto your crust.
The cotton/linen liner is removable and can be washed as needed. The rattan basket itself should not be submerged in water; simply brush out any excess flour after each use and let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
No, this basket is not dishwasher safe. The natural rattan material can warp or degrade if exposed to high heat and excessive moisture, so it must be cleaned by hand.
This basket is sized to comfortably hold a standard loaf made with approximately 500 to 700 grams of flour. It is ideal for a typical artisan-style round loaf.
