Know before you buy
The waffle pattern is designed to leave a distinct, professional-looking imprint on your sourdough crust. Beyond aesthetics, the texture helps the dough release more easily during the proofing process.
No, this basket is strictly for the proofing stage. It should not be placed in the oven, as the pressed wood pulp material is not heat-resistant.
Avoid washing it with water, which can damage the material. Instead, let any leftover flour dry out after use and simply brush it off with a stiff-bristled brush before storing it in a dry place.
Yes, this basket is specifically sized to accommodate a 1kg loaf. It provides enough room for the dough to expand during its final rise without overflowing.
Because this basket features a non-stick surface, you can proof your dough directly in it by dusting the interior with a light coating of flour. A liner is optional and generally not required.
