Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to season or prepare the rattan bread proofing basket before first use?
A: Yes — before first use, lightly flour the inside of the rattan basket and the cloth liner with rice flour or all-purpose flour. This helps create a natural non-stick surface and prevents dough from sticking. Repeat the light flouring before each use for best results.
Q: Can I use the oval proofing basket in the oven or refrigerator?
A: The rattan proofing basket is designed for dough proofing (rising) only — it should not be placed in the oven. It is, however, perfectly safe to use in the refrigerator for overnight cold proofing, which is a popular technique among sourdough bakers for developing deeper flavor.
Q: How do I clean and store this rattan banneton basket?
A: After each baking session, tap out any loose flour and allow the basket to air-dry completely before storing. Do not submerge it in water. The included cloth liner is fully washable by hand or on a gentle machine cycle. Store the basket in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold or mildew.
Q: What size loaf does this oval proofing basket accommodate?
A: This basket measures approximately 25 × 15 × 8.5 cm and is ideal for loaves weighing roughly 500g–750g (about 1–1.5 lbs) of dough. It's perfect for standard oval sourdough loaves, batards, and small artisan breads.
