Material and safety - Made from natural, food-grade rattan; non-toxic and chemical-free for safe use. - Natural rattan promotes good airflow, drawing excess moisture from the dough surface to help form a crisp crust. - It also helps retain humidity inside the dough, resulting in a softer crumb and a fluffier, more textured bread. Dough structure and shaping - The basket design supports uniform pore formation during fermentation, helping the dough keep its shape better than regular bowls or silicone baskets. - Prevents deformation, and the cloth liner creates a breathable space while helping prevent sticking. Bread making versatility - 10-inch size suits different dough sizes; oval shape facilitates removing the dough from the basket and is well-suited for traditional sourdough. - Textured surface leaves decorative patterns on the dough, enhancing visual appeal. - Proofing with the cloth liner yields a smoother dough surface for your preferred patterns, enabling you to work with different doughs at the same time. Convenience and cleaning - Before use, lightly dust the interior with flour to prevent sticking; after use, shake off excess and brush away any remaining flour. - The cloth liners provide a good proofing environment and help separate flour from dough, making cleanup easier. Care and maintenance - Store in a dry, well-ventilated place to prolong the life of the baskets and liners. Use scenarios - Proof traditional sourdough loaves with decorative patterns for a rustic presentation. - Proof doughs of different sizes in one session for multiple loaves. - Create patterned crusts on dough surfaces by using the textured basket and cloth liner during proofing.
