FAQs
Can I put this basket in the oven?
No, this basket is for the proofing stage only. It should never be placed inside the oven.
How do I clean the basket?
Do not use water. Simply tap out excess flour and use a dry brush to clean the rattan coils.
What type of flour works best for dusting?
Rice flour is highly recommended as it has a lower gluten content and is less likely to absorb moisture from the dough compared to wheat flour.
Is this basket suitable for all bread recipes?
It is perfect for sourdough and standard yeast breads that require structural support during the final proofing stage.
Does the basket require an inner liner?
A liner is optional, but many bakers prefer using the bare rattan to achieve the decorative spiral pattern on the crust.
Troubleshooting
Dough sticks to the basket walls
Ensure you are using enough flour, ideally a mixture of white flour and rice flour, and that the basket is completely dry before adding the dough.
Mold or mildew spots appear
The basket has retained moisture. Thoroughly clean the area with a dry brush and leave the basket in a warm, well-ventilated area or sunlight to dry out completely before next use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the basket is simple: ensure it is completely dry before first use. Compatibility-wise, this oval shape is best suited for batard-style loaves. Care instructions are critical to the longevity of the product: never wash the basket with soap and water, as the rattan will absorb the moisture and may harbor mold. After every use, allow the basket to air dry completely, then use a stiff dry brush to whisk away any excess flour trapped in the crevices. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew.
