Know before you buy
You can use the basket with or without the liner. Using the liner provides a smoother finish and is easier to clean, while using the bare rattan allows the dough to pick up the signature spiral pattern.
To prevent sticking, generously dust the basket with rice flour or a blend of rice and wheat flour before placing your dough inside. Rice flour is particularly effective because it does not contain gluten and won't turn into a paste.
After use, shake out any excess flour and let the basket air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. If dough residue remains, wait for it to dry and use a stiff brush to remove it; avoid submerging the basket in water to prevent mold growth.
This 9-inch basket is ideally sized for a standard loaf made with approximately 500 to 750 grams of flour. It is perfect for a classic round sourdough boule.
Yes, the included dough scraper is durable and easy to clean. You can wash it by hand with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher for convenience.
