Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before the first use, lightly mist the basket with water and dust it with flour to 'season' the cane, which helps create a natural non-stick surface over time.
Compatibility: This basket is designed for bread doughs of various hydration levels but performs best with standard sourdough and yeasted sandwich loaves. Ensure your dough size does not exceed the 30 x 15 cm footprint to avoid overcrowding the basket.
Care: Never submerge the banneton in water. After use, shake out excess flour and brush away any dried dough particles with a stiff-bristled brush. Allow the basket to dry completely in a warm, dry area or under sunlight to ensure moisture is fully evaporated before storage.
