FAQs
Can I put this basket in the oven?
No, this basket is for proofing purposes only and should not be placed in the oven.
How do I wash the basket?
Avoid using soap and water. Brush off loose flour and only use a damp cloth if absolutely necessary. Ensure it is bone-dry before storing.
What type of flour is best for dusting?
Rice flour is widely considered the best option as it does not contain gluten and does not absorb into the dough as easily as wheat flour.
Is the material safe for food contact?
Yes, this basket is crafted from natural rattan and is food-safe for bread making.
Can I use a liner with this basket?
While it can be used with a cloth liner, using it without one provides the best results for the signature rustic artisan pattern.
What size loaf does this hold?
With a capacity of 1030ml, it is perfectly sized for a standard-sized artisan loaf.
Troubleshooting
Dough sticking to the basket
Ensure you are using enough flour, or try using a blend of rice flour and wheat flour for better non-stick performance.
Basket has developed a musty smell
The basket was likely stored while damp. Brush out any residue and leave it in a well-ventilated, sunny area to dry completely.
Dough is losing shape when turned out
Your dough may be over-proofed. Try reducing the final proofing time by 15-20 minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the longest life out of your Vogue Rattan Proving Basket, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Preparation: Always dust the interior surface with a generous amount of flour before adding your shaped dough.
- Cleaning: After use, shake out any excess flour. If dough residue remains, allow it to dry completely and then use a stiff-bristled brush to remove the dried bits. Never soak the basket in water, as the natural rattan can warp or grow mold if it remains damp.
- Sanitization: If you need to clean it deeply, use a soft, damp cloth with minimal water and ensure the basket is placed in a warm, dry area or a low-temperature oven to dry thoroughly before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because it is stackable, you can nest multiple baskets to save space in your kitchen cabinets.
