Know before you buy
No, this basket is strictly for the proofing stage. It is made of natural rattan and will be damaged if placed inside a hot oven.
Using the basket without the liner allows the rattan to leave a traditional, decorative coiled pattern on the crust of your loaf. Just be sure to dust the basket thoroughly with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Simply let any leftover dough dry completely, then use a stiff-bristled brush to knock it out. If you need to wash it, use only hot water and ensure it is completely air-dried before storing to prevent mold.
With dimensions of 9.625 x 6.125 x 3.25 inches, this basket is best suited for standard artisan loaves weighing between 1 and 1.5 pounds.
The cotton/linen blend liner can be washed in warm, soapy water. We recommend hand washing or using a gentle cycle and allowing it to air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric.
