FAQs

Can I put this basket in the oven?

No, this basket is for proofing purposes only and should not be placed inside the oven.

Do I need to wash the basket before first use?

It is recommended to gently wipe it with a dry, clean cloth to remove any stray rattan fibers before your first bake.

What type of flour works best for dusting?

Rice flour is highly recommended as it does not contain gluten and provides a superior non-stick barrier compared to wheat flour.

How often should I wash the cloth liner?

Wash the liner whenever it becomes excessively coated in dried flour or if dough residue begins to build up.

Is the basket microwave safe?

No, this basket contains natural wood/rattan and is not safe for use in a microwave or any other heating appliance.

Troubleshooting

Dough sticks to the basket

Ensure you are using enough flour, or switch to using the included cloth liner for wetter doughs.

Basket developed a musty smell

The basket was likely stored while still damp. Clean with a dry brush and place in direct sunlight for a few hours to sanitize and dry out.

Dough loses shape after dumping

Check that your final shaping technique is tight enough before proofing and ensure the proofing time is not excessive, which can over-proof the dough.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your rattan basket, avoid soaking it in water, as this can weaken the natural fibers and lead to mold growth. After each use, gently shake out any excess flour and use a dry stiff-bristled brush to remove any stuck-on dough particles. Allow the basket to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, preferably in sunlight, before storing it in a dry cupboard. If the cloth liner becomes soiled, hand wash it in cool water and allow it to air dry before reapplying it to the basket. This product is compatible with standard sourdough, rye, and wheat bread doughs.
