What customers say
Bakers highly value this proofing basket for its superior quality and performance. The natural rattan features a sturdy weave that promises longevity. A key benefit is its excellent moisture management, which helps dough develop the ideal surface for great oven spring and crust development. The included linen liner adds significant versatility, allowing bakers to choose between a classic spiral pattern or a smooth finish, especially useful for sticky doughs needing a flawless release. Although the initial cost is higher, customers agree this tool is a worthwhile investment, consistently improving loaf consistency and final aesthetic. It is widely considered an essential piece of equipment that elevates home baking results.
Know before you buy
This basket is designed for dough weights ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 lbs (680-1130 grams) and flour volumes of 3 to 4.5 cups, making it ideal for standard artisan loaves.
No, this basket is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply brush out any excess flour after use and allow it to air dry thoroughly before storing.
The liner is optional but recommended if you prefer a smoother crust or are working with a very high-hydration dough that might stick to the rattan. Using the liner also makes cleanup significantly easier.
If you are not using the liner, dust the basket generously with rice flour, which is less likely to absorb moisture and turn into paste than wheat flour. If using the liner, a light dusting of flour is usually sufficient to ensure a clean release.
The outer dimensions are 10.5 inches long by 7.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches high, while the inner dimensions are 9.5 inches long by 6.5 inches wide by 3 inches high.
