Know before you buy
Yes, it is recommended to lightly mist the baskets with water and dust them thoroughly with flour—preferably rice flour—before your first bake. This creates a non-stick barrier that prevents the dough from adhering to the rattan fibers.
No, these baskets are strictly for the proofing stage of bread making. They are not heat-resistant and should never be placed in an oven.
Allow any stuck dough to dry completely, then use a stiff-bristled brush to flick it out of the rattan. Avoid using soap or submerging the baskets in water, as moisture can lead to mold growth.
Rice flour is gluten-free and does not absorb moisture the way wheat flour does. This ensures the dough releases cleanly from the basket without creating a sticky paste.
Ensure the baskets are completely dry before storing them in a well-ventilated area. Stacking them while damp can trap moisture and encourage mold, so it is best to keep them in a place with good airflow.
